My son, who is 22 and I talked about this last night. The Jackson 5 came around at the time I was drifting away from Top 40 and into album/progressive/hippie rock 'n roll. My friends and I would pick on Jacko along with Donnie Osmond. My son sees Jacko in a similar light as you do...a freak show. We joked here that I got the creeps from Michael when he sang songs to rats while he creeped out my son for his hanging around little boys.
May he rest in peace...a soul that was surely troubled and never comfortable with his fame. The music will be his enduring legacy...as it should be.
