On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero ...

The weird thing is, this and the Farrah story will likely take Sanford off the radar.

I’m sorry, couldn’t resist.

It makes me wonder if Michael committed suicide. He was pretty neurotic about female celebrities. He idolized some of them. I don’t know. This is really shocking.

They were saying cardiac arrest, which I believe means the heart was stpped, probably when they found him. I want to know the underlying causes.

This is sad. He was really abused by his father as a child, including being fed hormones to prevent his voice from changing while he was making millions with his little boy voice. Listen to some of his early recordings and remember the sheer joy he managed to express, even though his own life was really miserable — it was like his music was his only escape. His early music and videos can really lift spirits.

So sad that he came to such a pathetic end, and ended up inflicting harm on other children. I really don’t think he meant any harm, but he was just too psychologically damaged to have a clue how to act normal, or to understand why his activities with young boys were harming them, or to understand how dangerous his obsession with plastic surgery was. Our society as a whole needs to take some responsibility for how he was allowed to disintegrate — obviously mentally ill to the point of being a danger to both himself and others, and yet no court would order him into a secure treatment/care setting or appoint a legal guardian for him.

I couldn’t stand him or his music except for “Ben” which was pretty good.

Maybe he repented of his sins, who knows?
