Michael Jackson suffers major heart attack in Los Angeles...listed in critical condition...
I gotta ask. How does one purposely stop their heart so EMT’s have to do CPR?
MJ’s within the acceptable range for both. We just discharged a 20-year old after his first heart attack (not chemically related.) 3 weeks ago we had a 47 year old triathlete collapse after a bike race. Down 12 minutes before countershock. He would have died if not for immediate bystander CPR.
Agreed. Love or hate him, the music in Thriller is simply some of the best for the genre and era.
If so, that is probably how many people thought it would end. He was trying for a comeback, and obviously when he realized it wasn’t going to happen, that was the last straw.
I never could stand the freak. At least some little boys are safe now.

This was AFTER him almost being convicted of child molestation in circumstances almost identical.
The guy just cannot help himself from wanting to be around prepubescent boys, even after it nearly cost him his freedom, even after it cost him millions of dollars, even after it rightfully earned him the disgust of those who he would probably like to sell music to.
What drive could explain Jackson's compulsion to be around prepubescent boys.
“They are my friends” he says, but seems to have no time at all for them after the age of 16 or so.
Are you trying to ruin the "come in threes" theory? ;)
well, they better not try it on me as I am alive......
Ugh, if he dies it will be nothing but Michael Jackson on the radio for months.
Please don’t die.
Nevermind...news of the OD was fake, I think.
...and he needed makeup to look like this:
That is creepy.
I have to agree. After all, he was just a talented performer which, in our upside down Culture, serves to excuse him from almost anything else. Celebrity trumps right and wrong all too often.
Praying for him and his children.
This is very worrisome. Family member quoted as saying he’s in “really bad shape” per TMZ
“Joorrrrrrddy, Joooorrrrddddyyy !!!!!”
This video shows what they think he would look like without surgery, and also at the end goes thru him morphing from a kid to what he now looks like.

This is tough on me. I have nothing good to say about the man, but I won’t wish him ill.
Baby Boomers DROPPING like flies. There will be more and more all the time. I am one year younger than MJ, and I am already on Lipitor!
