No love for Jacko...

[SteamWake]

A New York congressman says Michael Jackson was a "pervert" and calls on society to stop "glorifying" the late entertainer in a YouTube video.

On some levels I have to agree that the 24/7 coverage of the guy is wearing a bit thin. After all he is still dead. Le t me know if his condition improves.

[Dowly]

There's also someone who's writing unofficial biography on Jacko who said he was an homosexual. He even said that someone close to Jacko told him that MJ used to dress up like a woman and go meet some construction worker in Las Vegas. :haha:

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, in hindsight, MJ was way out there. He did settle out of court on the child molestation charges. I suspect something was there and enough to make life much more difficult than what MJ experienced. I agree that the regular Joe who is out there everyday get less if any 'atta boys' and agree that the latest fanfair over MJ is out of control.

I did not read much more than the first few paragraphs of the article. I'm sure the Congressman will be chastised until the cows come home.

If the congressman can stop that he must be endowed with supernatural powers. Might as well try to stop people from drinking again.

Yeah the funeral was quite an emotive event for so many.

Personally I sensed (don't want to name them) the occasion was used by one or two people to go OTT.

RIP MJ

I think the same thing about it also jimbuna... some people just used it to get attention I think...

/runs away:rotfl::rotfl:Funnt stuff, those guys should be on TV here too.

[Platapus]

I just hope it is now finally over.

I was so pissed last night. While cooking dinner all I wanted was to watch some news. It seemed that every frickin news station (and we have a few hundred it seems) was playing the same thing.

I don't think there was this much coverage when Reagan died. :nope:

Enough is enough. The man is dead, we had the memorial. Now can we get back to real life??

[Task Force]

yea I got sick of the mj stuff on every news channel... well... except for the weather channel. lol

[Buddahaid]

I'm waiting for the velvet paintings, commemorative coin collection, and plates. Maybe framed glove repo's as well. Probably already being made in China!

Allegedly there is a tremdous stockpile of unpublished material estimated to be in the millions if not billions in worth.

Not to mention the existing published material is flying off the shelves.

[Task Force]

they will make more money with jackson dead than alive.

[AVGWarhawk]

they will make more money with jackson dead than alive.

:yep:

Truest sense of 'worth more dead than alive.'

[SteamWake]

Indeed his being alive was actually killing his empire / buisness.

One of the things I noticed is that for the first time the public saw his kid "Blanket's" face.

I thought to my self, I wonder if this kid said "Daddy is not here now can I take this stupid blanket off?"

Kind of a metaphor for the entire Jackson Empire.

[Platapus]

Look at the number of people sucking off the Elvis teet all these years?

Vultures always profit off of the dead.

I thought decomposers always profited off hte dead...

Psychics see magic in Michael Jackson's life

When Glynis McCants looks at Michael Jackson's life, she sees the number five.

Jackson's talent was discovered when he was 5 years old, he came to fame as a member of the Jackson 5 and he planned a series of 50 concert dates in London, England, as part of a comeback tour before he died on June 25 at the age of 50.

For McCants, a noted numerologist and author, those facts are very telling: "Five is the number for drama, and it was in his life his whole life."

For many fans, the lure of Michael Jackson as a performer and pop icon was magical. Those who deal in the paranormal are tuned in to that magic.

Numerology deals with the influence of numbers on personal characteristics and human affairs.

McCants -- who has appeared on nationally syndicated television and radio shows and is known as the "Numbers Lady" -- said that by taking Jackson's birth date (August 29, 1958, or 8/29/1958) she could chart his personality.

His was "six life path," she said, meaning he was magnetic and drew people to him. That, coupled with the fact that he was born on a two day made him irresistible, she said.

"If you are born on a two day and are a six life path then America and the world seem to fall in love with you," McCants said.

"It's almost as if you always get a shot with that energy if you shoot for stardom, and then you can sabotage it," McCants said. "Britney Spears was born on a two day, and she's a six life path; Lindsay Lohan was born on a two day, and she's a six life path; and Sarah Palin was born on a two day, and is a six life path."

Such people, McCants said, thrive on the attention. Psychic Eddie Conner said Jackson couldn't help but attract such attention, even if it resulted in a life of isolation.

"He's an old soul with an enormous amount of creative artistic energy that pours to him and from him," said Conner, who works as a "soul intuitive" in Los Angeles, California, and whose clients include celebrities he declines to name. "Whenever he's doing his magic he's untouchable, and I think that's the reason everybody gravitates toward him."

And despite all of Jackson's troubles, Conner said he believes the star will have an opportunity at success and fame again.

Unlike other souls that stay in the nonphysical realm anywhere from 70 to 150 years, he said, he believes the singer's soul will return quickly -- within the next 20 years -- because Jackson was such a perfectionist that he will want to "pick up where he left off."

"If not as a performer, then a Quincy Jones/Michael Jackson/whoever, the top producers that get mass [music] out to the world to uplift them," Conner said.

Fans continue to gravitate toward Jackson even as they try to make sense of his passing because mourning him reinvigorates the energy and attention surrounding him, Conner said.

"He was untouchable when he was connected to his soul and what he came to this planet to do," Conner said. "The average person looks at that and they believe that if they can touch it -- or have him touch them -- then maybe some of it would rub off."

The desire for such a connection can cause devastation now that Jackson is gone, said psychic consultant Jack Rourke, who has worked extensively in paranormal research and consulted for major Hollywood studios.

"Even though we've never met Michael, people create a symbiotic relationship with this image or this person," Rourke said. "We project all of the positive aspects of ourselves, all of the wonderful things onto this image of perfection or near perfection that we see, and we imagine subconsciously that this person is in agreement with the deepest part of ourselves.

"When this is no longer possible because this person is gone, it creates a vacuum within us, so people need to maintain a psychological or even a spiritual stability by creating a fixed image of Jackson," he said.

Rourke said he fully expects people to come forward claiming to have communicated with Jackson, but that any credible professional psychic or medium will not attempt to connect with Jackson for at least six months to a year and will only do so at the behest of a family member or an intimate friend of the singer.

In the meantime, Conner said fans can still reach out to the singer's energy in a simple way: "The greatest way to connect with Michael is through listening to his music."

Only a matter of time.

It is so reassuring that credible professional psychics are taking charge of this. That's what we need.

Michael. If you are there, knock me off my feet twice for yes, once for no.

[JHuschke]

I do not understand..everyone still talks about Michael Jackson, on the news, internet, radio, everywhere I go. I am suprised even though he touched kids..everyone still talks about him even its been a good while after his death...

[Task Force]

At this point they are talking high about him, but soon they will draging him in the mud...

All in all, its gonna be the kind of a new elvis thing...

[JHuschke]

Mhmm, I wonder who the next King of Pop is going to be?

[Task Force]

probably no one... Its rap nowdays. (Gag)

[JHuschke]

o.o Music isn't that good these days, everyone is running out of words to say. The only person I can think of, that will never run out of words is the Eminem guy :arrgh!:

[Task Force]

yea, I agree... I dont know how music went from being good, to being sh** so quickly.

(Maby cause of that annoying little thing that started 15 to 16 years ago called rap.:hmmm:)

R etarted

A **

P eople

:yep:

[JHuschke]

Yep :rock: I still listen to the old rock, such as System of a Down, Godsmack, etc.

[Torplexed]

Mhmm, I wonder who the next King of Pop is going to be?

The music industry has become so fragmented with the advent of the internet that I think the days of a 'King of Pop' are pretty much over. People pick their entertainment rather than having it forced upon them while trying to find something they like in the mix through a few limited outlets like radio, television or video. The kind of critical mass media needed to create a star like Jackson is slowly fading away. To paraphrase the Buggles, Narrowcasting killed the Radio Star.

[Task Force]

Pop realy isnt popular anymore I believe... so, i guess the Pop world will have to keep MJ.:hmmm:

[SteamWake]

Hey while were on the topic, how did pop degrade into rap?

[Task Force]

well... pop didnt turn into rap if I remember it right...

Rap has been around for awhile, but it has changed ALOT since it started!!!

(Ither way ive always hated it...)

[Sailor Steve]

Yep :rock: I still listen to the old rock, such as System of a Down, Godsmack, etc.
:rotfl:

Old rock? I consider Van Halen to be too "new and different" for my taste. Kiss is another young upstart band to me too.

Age difference wll bite you every time.:dead:

[Task Force]

Lol.... welcome to 2009 SailorSteve...:rotfl:

But yes, older music is better in my opinion.:yep:

[Platapus]

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music aln 't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock'n' roll

Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll

Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n' roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today' music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n' roll

Still like that old time rock'n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n' roll
:D

[rubenandthejets]

The mainstream music industry has always sucked big time. I hated MJ and all his limp pop drivel, as well almost everything else that was on a mainstream label.

Luckily, Jello Biafra and his mates kept me sane.

Get some "Alternative Tentacles" releases and start living!

For example, the Wright brothers AKA "NoMeansNo" must be pushing 50 by now but by God they still ROCK big time. Yes, two Wrights CAN make a "Wrong"!

Still looking for something to get into? You can't go past the 20th century's unsung musical genius-Frank Zappa. 60+ cds (about 25 of them are brilliant) to sample.

[OneToughHerring]

I listen to a lot of older rock and also heavy. Lemmy from Motörhead is no spring chicken but he rocks out harder than most of these younger ones. Same goes for the guys in AC/DC. And I've always liked CCR and Steppenwolf.

Now playing: AC/DC - Back in black.
