Also count on hundreds of long lost family members showing up to claim what is left of his estate.

One story I read said he was 400 mil in debt and starting this comeback tour in Europe to try and make some money.

In California, if you have been under the care of a Dr. 24 hours prior to death, you don’t have an autopsy.

You can still have one, but it isn't required.

I’m betting on an overdose of Demerol this afternoon that went bad and he’s off to never never land................

Michael has been hooked on it and riding the dragon for years.

I was always taught to have respect when one has passed on.

Vitiligo shows up in patches, giving the appearance of paint peeling. Michael Jackson gradually faded from black to white. That’s not vitiligo; that’s vanity skin bleaching.

On my drive home...my FM dial was a menage of Jackson. Thriller to Billie Jean to Beat It. He was a true talent.

That said, Harvey Levin (TMZ) talking to Greta...just happened that a Starline Bus Tour right outside the Carolwood Drive home when the ambulance left the property. Levin alluding to ‘something’ that occurred before the 911 call.

Oh noes...now Dr. Baden on with GVS now. What, Cyril Wecht was busy??? (Local plug for my fav. forensic pathologist).

So singers aren’t musicians?

Singers perform music. Musicians create music.

Michael Jackson was nothing without Quincy Jones.

I respect that he is dead, nothing can touch our help him now.

If I did not respect them in life, why bother when they are dead? I am sorry he chose to life the disgusting life he led.

It is just a differance of opinion as to what constitutes REAL Music. Jackson was not real music, just loud, screaming and vulger.

If it is just a difference of opinion to you, why then do you insult everyone who enjoys his music?

When was the last “big hit” by MJ? 20 years ago? Before he decided to be Liz Taylor?

As some would describe your comments. Surely there are other threads in this forum where you can spread your venom.

Jackson did create music. He composed many of his hits.

Well then, he wasn't much of a musician, was he?
