RIP Little Michael
Ill miss you.
Ill miss you.
I can't understand why anyone who was born between 1960 and 1980 would disrespect Michael Jackson. I was born in 1977. And let me tell you, everything I remember about my childhood revolved around Michael Jackson.
I remember wearing his Beat It zippered jacket and trying to copy his dance moves in the Thriller and Beat It videos.
I remember We Are The World becoming like the National Anthem to me when I was 8.
I remember going nuts when BAD and DANGEROUS were released.
I remember HISTORY being the first CD I ever bought.
Michael Jackson was a big part of my childhood and youth, and with his passing, my childhood has died with him.
I mourn Michael Jackson when in actuality I am mourning for myself.
I know all of the people of my generation feel the same way.
Michael was the true King of Pop, and only those who experienced him in his heyday could really say what an important and amazing person and artist he really was and is.
I was in disbelief and shock for well over a week. It's finally sunk in that Michael is gone forever. To be honest, I don't know how to deal with that.
I love you, Michael!

No we don't. Its fine that you mourn him I guess but don't assume that everyone does!!!
What does the media have to do with it per se? The didn't create the hundreds of millions of fans globally for MJ IMO. To me this is fairly unprecedented.

I woke up completely fucking trashed after a heavy night out and I was in some strangers house, I couldn't remember anything. I looked at my phone and I had a message saying Jackson died, and I thought... "My god, what the fuck did I do last night?"
It didn't take long to realise I was not at all a suspect, and I had more pressing matters at hand, like the fact I had taken a shit out of this persons window, and I had to make a hasty exit.
RIP Jacko, you'll never be forgotten.

Media has nothing to do with it actually & the media 'saturation' makes Michael Jackson's accomplishments even more impressive than earlier artist who didn't have to compete with sooo many different mediums, artists & different genre's of music than earlier acts. He is an artist who didn't have to try to compete across genre's of music ,but crushed the distinctions between them.
The guy became the most popular/famous entertainer on a global scale that no other artist/band has ever achieved.
They say the website took on 500 million hits in the first one (1)hour & a half after it was announced.:eek:

So is the huge memorial at the Staples center the funeral as well?
thought somebody would like it ...
I want Michael Jackson Staple event to go away.
No one that stupid will use IV Propofol (with IV track marks all over Michael Jackson's arm, addict to oxycodone, one of the most powerful painkiller, IV Demerol and sleeping pills.
Michael Jackson chose the most powerful IV intravenous drugs to inject into his veins all over his body.
That's sickening ! Also five separate different doctors to give large amount of cocktails to "kill" Michael Jackson.
What to celebrate, to celebrate a drug addict ! WTF !
(The Isreal infamous spy agents use similar drugs just like Propofol to sedate enemies and other paralying agents to kidnap them back to Israel)
Propofol is a short-acting IV form sedating agent for induction of anesthesia but why uses that powerful drug ? WTF ?

Bury him already so that the world starts moving again for fuck's sake. I have never seen something more ridiculous, pathetic and dumb in my life than all those idiots who are like "oh my god, my life has ended too because of his death".
Don't get me wrong, it's sad, especially for the family and his friends and I truly believe that the world of music has lost a great great man, but come on, people die every day, more horrible and gruesome deaths and there's more heartbreaking stories than this one.
But this is what our world has become. And with CNN and Larry King as the spearhead that rubs this into people's faces every freakin day, it's disgusting, it's so disgusting that I actually would kick Larry King's fucking face in. What a schmuck.
I'm actually surprised that nobody has killed himself, like some idiots did after Cobain shot himself.
Even as a die hard Metal fan back then I was kinda mesmerized by the Thriller album. IMO one of those albums that should be in the Top 10 list of every single musical genre combined.
Requiescat in pace Michael Jackson...:hatsoff:
And now, let's go on with our lives.

I agree 100%
I went to CNN.com tonight to see the article about Nick and the 6 other men who died with him in Afghanistan and it took me 15 minutes, 15 MINUTES, to find the article because all that was front paged & headlined was Michael Jackson. He's got a gift, I'll admit it, but so did the 7 men who had the gift of being selfless enough to give their lives for you & me & everyone.
Michael Jackson died, Im sorry may he RIP, but quite frankly, lets move on.

Here Zombie, Zombie, Zombie...
City of LA says it's going to cost 4 million dollars to pay for all the police and fire to handle this mess. They closed the freeway for the convey of cars to Forest Lawn. They closed a god damn freeway for those idiots! I didn't know the President was in town! And now SWAT is going to use their resources to move his mostly plastic body. Well I say... Send the bill to Joe Jackson. Why as a tax payer am I paying for this, when they have the money.
I'm sick of this mess, it's like nothing else has happened in the world since he over-dosed! I've had to watch the BBC news for fucks sake! And it's just amazing all the looneytoons that have come out of the wood work.
I knew him... I performed on stage with him... I was friends with his cousin's former gym coach's, fourth room mate back in college after he transfered!
He probably killed himself just to avoid all the debt collectors because he planned on backing out of all those concerts. He wasn't the king of pop, that was a PR push from his own people. The world didn't announce him the King of pop.
Honestly... how many children or loved ones have died since this has happened, and what makes him so important versus them. His music? Lots of musicians have died. Please stop humping this like a chihuahua on viagra.
That's just my 2 cents. :2 cents:

It is sad to see the usual chancers hogging the limelight over this. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson etc The Rev Sharpton was commanding us this week to respect MJ. I'm sorry, I am unable to do that.
I was dismayed to see Martin Luther King III was at the service. It seems that there's is a push to connect MJ to some overall narrative about the very real suffering of African Americans. He was an extraordinary performer but a deeply flawed human being. If those flaws were the result of of personal experience during his upbringing, it needs pointing out that it wasn't a racist culture that did for MJ. It was a group of greedy black people, many of whom are there at the memorial service.
