I've felt so sad about MJ for a long time. When he was younger, I thought he was so beautiful and so amazingly talented. I couldn't understand the self-mutilation. I don't know about the molestation charges, but I think his behavior was questionable at best. It's so sad when someone with such talent just seems to lose it.
That's why I never begrudge Clay is free time and his private life. I want him to stay sane and grounded.
I have to admit that I never really had any emotional investment in the various females that Clay has been shipped with through the years, but I'm very partial to Reed.
That picture of him hugging Clay touched my heart.

ETA: The first article is pretty bitchy about him, but his website shows some pretty impressive clients, work, etc.--not just celebrities.
Interesting guy.
I don't have any problem liking AL or anyone else, and I already bought my concert ticket.
I don't see what liking another singer has to do with being a fan of Clay.
I have no idea what causes AL is interested in--although gay rights comes to mind--so I can't pass judgment on that.
I have no idea what he'll spend his money on, so I can't make judgments about that either.
I just like to celebrate Clay. I have no interest whatsoever in trashing anyone else (with the possible exception of pondscum) in the process.
I don't see anything wrong with what AL said in the interview--and he's not too much different from other people in their 20s (gay or straight). Most have been indiscreet--many have been drunk or tried drugs (especially marijuana). I just don't see a problem with his honesty. Doesn't mean he is striving to be a role model for chastity or anything.
