I'll miss the guy. I got pissed at work with a coustmer, some white trash lady....:

Mike (register clerk): You herd MJ died today right?

Lady: Oh did he die from Aids?

Mike & Riki: . . . . .

Mike: No he died from blah blah blah

Lady: Well it serves him right for having sex with little boys.

Riki: Don't ever talk about anybody that has passed away like that. People in life do great things and nobody is that perfect to do something wrong, but when one dies you don't remember them for the mastakes they done. But I will be sure to be at your funeral and annouce that it serves you right for dying because your being an ignorant bitch. Have a good night!

It' aggervates me when people say things like that. I don't care who you are. She didn't mention the shit that Farrah done, may she rest in peace too.

Actually, I'm not really surprised.  I don't want to sound disrespectful at this sad time, but a lot of celebrities age notoriously poorly.  Elvis did not take care of himself and was known to have become depressed as he got older.  You add to that the fact that Michael Jackson did some strange things which he thought would help him defy the aging process (like sleep in an oxygen tent) and I just had a feeling that he might not make it to old age.  Although I didn't know at what age or by which manner he would succumb.

man, i loved him and hated him at the same time, his dance moves were like no other, dudes, im actually trying to dance like he did, they were like super awesome, but i hated the way he "changed" literally, lol, but....uh...it was pretty shocking that it happened, it' almost unreal that he's dead

Now, given his work with the Thriller video, I think the odds are good that MJ will return in zombie form, possibly heralding a zombie apocalypse.

In seriousness, I'm thinking drug overdose or damage from long-term drug abuse.

Good relationships and hard work > money and fame

Have a good one Michael. 

A side thought. The people who were supposedly close to him must have been some real works of art.  How on Earth did they let him do all that shit to his body.  At some point I would think that if those people gave a damn about the man they would have knock a bit of sense into his ass regardless of how out there he seemed to have become more recently.

Rest in peace Michael. You really will be missed. You have so much talent. This is such a waste to see you go.

P.S. It really would be a great PR stunt if you were to come out of your coffin at your funeral and dance some more of those famous zombie moves. Get the cameras rolling and call it Thriller 2!

P.S.S. Can I have your Beatles song collection?

I found this very telling qoute from Michael Levine who was Michael Jackson publisher in the early 1990's. I found it interesting because he cuts through the nostalgic haze that everyone will be having in regards to MJ. I'm not trying to discredit Michael Jackson and his talent and contibution to our music or culture but it shows a side of the man that was in constant conflict with the world and how that conflict may have lead to his early death. Here is Levines take on Mr. Jackson

 "I must confess I am not surprised by today's tragic news. Michael has been on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. His talent was unquestionable but so too was his discomfort with the norms of the world. A human simply cannot withstand this level of prolonged stress." — Michael Levine, a publicist who represented Jackson when the singer was accused of molesting a child in 1993.

Exactly how will David Carradine be remembered?  With a rope around his junk. 

Michael Jackson will be remembered by some for possible sex with little boys. 

You are being ignorant by ignoring these little tidbits. 

You just throwing a hissy fit because you want him to be perfect and want to ignore everything else. 

I never really liked Jackson that much, but never disliked him...UNTIL

he held his baby over the balcony.  Then I didnt like him at all.  What a moron.

^^^ This.

Wow, we agree on something ctrl!  Crazy.  The Onion did a piece called "Michael Jackson Died 20 Years Ago"...  That was right about the time he got his famous pigment change.

I hate pop music & Wacko Jacko.  Anyone who feels the need to alter their racial identity is pathetic.  That was a slap in the face to ALL black people, and he should be ashamed. 

It's 1830 here in Germany and according to BBC Breaking News....Michael jackson is STILL dead.....

that is all.

Michael had a skin disease called Vitiligo. look it up: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo

It causes you to loose all your skin pigmentation. Instead of bashing someone because they look funny and have to do all sorts of plastic surgery to try to fix it, why don't you spend your time being thankful you didn't get the same disease. You know making fun of people because they are ill (and now dead) is just disgusting. Do you run around and make fun of people that have severe burns or other disorders? i would hope not.

Have some better respect for the dead and those who loved him.

He isn't perfect. David Carradine isn't perfect. I remember him from Kill Bill, but me I wanted to do my research and I was watching Kung Fu. It was really good and it made me learn how much of an impact he had too. Even though what has happend, nobody is perfect and even the best have their problems, trials and tribulations. I didn't want him to be perfect and ignor everything. He wasn't perfect. He wasn't perfect in his own life of not having a childlife. Sacraficing himself for the music and fans. No different then Jackie Chain sacraficing his body and the extreme stunts he do.

I'm saying somebody just died and this lady was pretty much glad he died. I don't care who it is, you don't be glad somebody died because of anything or the things you had to go though. If you say MJ is this or that, thats your opinion, but it's disrespect to say "serves him right he died for..." I wouldn't want that opun you or anybody.

That's one thing I personally didn't like and the time at when it came on the news I was shocked. I used to think the baby was thrown over till i had to ask my parents.

I stand corrected.  I had no idea the pale color of his skin was due to a disease.  With how weird he is, it is pretty easy to assume just about anything.  In this case, I was way off and am sorry for it.

You guys shouldn't be making fun of Jackson like that.  I didn't care for most of his music, I thought he was weird, but I just leave it at that.  Show some respect for the dead.  I doubt most of us would want to be made fun of after we are gone.

On the molestation charges, I don't know what happened.  Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.  But I'm sure he was an easy target.  He liked to hang around with young kids, which was pretty strange in and of itself.  But the fact that he did and because he had a lot of money (at one time, not when he died), made him an easy target for those charges.  There are a lot of gold diggers out there and maybe someone saw an opportunity.

I tend to think that Jackson liked to hang out with kids because he lamented that he never really had a childhood.  His father pushed him into music at a very young age and he missed out on a lot a fun things kids do.  There's a price for everything.  Anyyone who thinks being a celebrity and having a lot of money is so great should realize that it comes with its own set of problems as well.

Most of us will have lives where no one will be able to make fun of us.  He led a life that put him in situations that will be questionable from here on out.

Oh come on.  You know the jokes are going to fly.  They always do.  It's all in jest, that's all.

Wow... I expected him to be around for at least 20 to 30 more years. He was such a legend... I didn't think he would die at all, much less, at such a young age. I think I am still in shock.

RIP Michael Jackson. Your music and dance moves were amazing. You will definitely continue to live on in all our hearts.
