I worked security at the 3 Jacksons shows here in '84. Got to see all 3 shows...fucking amazing performer live. Better than any description you may have read.

I know what you just linked me to was not an obituary proper, simply a news flash, but that was a very disrespectful way of announcing it. Could they have postponed calling him freakish for a week at least?

[Oh_My_Goth]

Very sad.. He was so young

[Homicidalheathen]

I loved his music

Love the remixes used here and there...

but what a weirdo.

wow.

Farrah, Ed...Micheal...David C.

Just wtf????

Ok Reaper, thats quite enough.

No. He was freakish. And now he won't be molesting any more children.

I was too young to really remember the first one, but what I seen and heard from the 2nd trial (especially from the mom) showed that one was probably bullshit

[TitsMcGee]

I liked some of his music..but seriously the man weirded me out. I always thought his nose would fall off.

[Oh_My_Goth]

Wow Y'all.. The man just died for cripes sake.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

The man was an amazing performer and one of Man Kinds greatest artists. There I said it and I really mean it. Yet, I can not forget that the man that he was, was more than his performance. For the last 20 years he has spiraled down into a surreal characterization of life. He was beyond strange. He may or may not have been a pedophile but what ever the case, he was so weird toward little boys that he was accused of being one two times.

My point is, it's not that anyone is being disrespectful of the recently dead. It would be disrespectful to pretend he was anything other than what he was.

[pomba gira]

Such a sad life... knowing the story of his early years, it would've been almost impossible for him to grow up to be a "normal" person. I always thought he seemed like someone who was terribly unhappy & lonely.

Pretty impressive Death Triangle this month... or I guess it's actually a Death Quadrilateral, isn't it?

[Morbid Side]

Wow, it definitely comes in three's eh?!? As much as I despise all child molesters he was a big staple of my childhood. I remember when they would play Rock With You I wasn't even born yet! And I used to sing to it everytime it came on the radio. "Thriller" was one of the first albums I ever owned. RIP King Of Pop.

[Nienna]

He was truly a legend... first for his amazing talent, and later for his amazing weirdness. I was never a fan, but his music gets a true "nod" even if I can't approve of his lifestyle and choices. RIP Michael.

Dude had a lot of debt I hear.

[jynxxxedangel]

I wonder what weird stuff the investigators will find out about him, after his death. There will probably be scores of expos'e shows, newspaper articles, etc.

I'll bet a lot of his hired help, and people who were close to him, will start talking.

Huh, I did not see such words...& me disrespectful? no. Not to the dead...it is not for us to Judge him...he is at the Seat Of The Divine...well, on his way...with my prayers to aide him to speed. Like anyone else...even when Saddam died..I prayed.

Nice way to put that. I was lost for it, in yesterday's heat...

"Severance Package" = Free ticket to Oprah.

So... let me get this straight... Ed McMan, gave Michael Jackson a check for the Publishers Clearing house... then Farra Faucet was having sex with David Carradine at the new Neverland Ranch in Asia... and.... then what happened?

[TitsMcGee]

I got this as a text forward today: "Due to the fact that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, he will be melted down into lego blocks so little kids can play with him for a change."

I about died laughing

[jynxxxedangel]

There are whispers of a possible Demerol overdose. The personal physician, who apparently lived at the mansion, and who also apparently administered a Lidocaine injection, is missing in action.

This guy knows something.

I can't wait to see the coroner's report for this one..I'll bet it's a doozy.

I won't pretend for the sake of lets call it "DGN-cred" that I didn't like him as an artist. I was a fan for most of my childhood. I did drift away from "pop music" at some point, but that doesn't change anything. I was a fan for that whole 15(?) year period that he was cranking out the hits. Something like age 8 through... whatever age I was when Dangerous came out and have all the albums from Thriller up to that point.

His personal lifestyle and such while perhaps bizarre, and in some cases scary, I try to keep separate from my appreciation of his artistic talent. This goes for any artist, I try to keep the real-life drama and the politics seperate from the art. (Unless the art is overtly , intentinonally political.)

I'm not one to lionize someone just because they are gone. But seriously...RIP.

[dragonluv]

I love Michael. I know he got his problems. There was a time, he did a lot of good. One example: He pay for the funeral of David Ruffin from the Temptations. David Ruffin went broke and had no money for his own funeral. I am not into Motown Music (execpt for Michael when he went solo. Never got into Jackson 5), but I remember hearing about Ruffin's funeral. As someone mention to me in a PM, Michael's children. I feel sorry for them as well.

+1) I agree 100% about his performance. He put his heart and soul into his music.

Michael, rest in peace.
