Michael Jackson dead: 1958 - 2009

[Dumac]

Wow, I can't believe he actually died...

It's kind of shocking.

He's only 50!

 

[Gooberlx2]

Ugh...prepare for a thread merge...

 

[nageov3t]

but seriously, no joke, I can't wait till his kids grow up and have no money and write tell-all books.

 

[paulney]

Sucks. No matter his bizarre antics, he was a great performer.

You've got to wonder how guilt wracked his family is, whether they regret putting him into show business so young and wonder if it was the cause of so much of his craziness.

I think it's fairly well documented that his father helped to drive that family a little off the deep end and Jackson in particular. Not saying this relieves him of guilt or anything but he had a messed up life.

Sad.

on the bright side, his kids have a chance to be normal now.

strange as he became, he was pretty much my favorite singer growing up in the 80's/early 90's

Oh man... that's greatness


And we found # 3

 

[coloumb]

Well..at least he didn't die in the same embarrassing way that David Carradine did...

All jokes aside - his music career was pretty damn phenomenal.

 

[aphex]

Damn, what a crappy day

RIP Michael, many of his songs remind me of my youth........ I'm really bummed out by this one

 

[rasczak]

awww. that's too bad

i tip my hat to you Jacko, you were one of the greats. Crazy, but great.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Its all a scam to get him out of the tour dates he had set.

 

[Red Dawn]

Well him living to an advanced age wouldn't have been pretty...I'm just saying.

Of course I'm sure he would have wanted to give it a go.:brokenheart:
