Re: MJ jokes. I'm not a fan of his, and seeing how he blew up his life into some kind of absurd oddity, I don't see how jokes are out of character. When he was alive, everything he did was tinged with weird and crazy. Seriously, when Madonna dies, there will be a lot of comments about her sluttiness.


However, as several have pointed out, a person has died. So if people object, maybe we should cool it.

Re: MJ music. I never understood how his actual tunes garnered so much adoration. Sure, Billie Jean and Beat It are catchy pop tunes, but how do they rate above anything by Dire Straits, Prince, or a million other pop artists? If you separate the music from the hype and plastic-surgery-gone-wild performer, they are just more filler for FM radio. IMO.

(Sorry, you're right, should've made only one post with everything)

I agree, I wasn't a fan (but that's not why was bashing him mind you), however he did leave a mark on our society, if he didn't this thread wouldn't exist, he's part of popular history, more so than popular culture, with his highs and lows... That's more than anybody in this forum will probably achieve (I hope not, thought ), and has a human being he does earn our respect (as a person though, not so sure ehehe)

If we think about it how many persons have died the same day, the same hour,even in the very minute... Are those people less deserving of our respect on their times of demise? The reality is, he had his time, and he tried to get the best out of it, just like any one of us...


PS: People only laugh on other people's deaths because they won't be able to laugh on theirs

Since I'm feeling a little bit of remorse about my crackjokes let me just pay homage to the poor guy... He probably just turned out to be just another lost child on the world of showbiz, so let us remember him for the cool things he did:

Jackson Five - on Ed Sullivan and

Enjoy (ABC is a friggin classic, still manages to put a smile on me)

Getting worse by the minute.

It is quite possible in my view that somebody is going to jail over this one.

God I'm sick of this already and am reluctant to post, but it looks like a good time for Pyongyang to strike. Everybody has there nose into MJ and the radar screens are unwatched.

my thoughts exactly,
you know, I have done a lot of reading on Russian politics and espionage, and heart attack doesnt nessesscarily mean cardiac arrest.
but yes, may he rest in peace

Still uncertainty about the cause of death. Seems like a case of overmedication, or even poisoning. Not sure what the difference is between the two exactly, I guess overmedication is a case where nobody has to go to jail.

There is no doubt that WJ was under pressure from the whole child abuse stuff that came out which resulted in bottom of the barrel record sales. His financial situation was going from a very rich man to being bankrupt. Definitely a lot of pressure, but self induced stress. I would bet he was on a lot of anti-anxiety meds. If he was on a drug cocktail that had ativan in it, this actually causes heart rythem irregularities. If the rythem irregularities affect the venticles, it can and has caused cardiac arrest. Interesting to see what the toxicology report finds out.

I didn't think I would ever agree with a buddahead ... but your right.

Something big is going to happen and it's right around the corner.

VP Biden said it before this present howdy dodie administration took over.

NK is just a test ...

Now back to your regularly scheduled program talking about Jackson.

Did you know MJ was $400,000,000 dollars in debt?
