Who would ever have thought that Michael Jackson would die of a cardiac arrest before Michael Moore?

Sadly true. Nothing to rejoice or make light of here. One very messed up individual.

An understatement, and I agree. Very messed up...

Just goes to show ya, fame and fortune can and does destroy lots of lives, not unlike the fate of many "lucky" lottery winners.

Count me in as one of the folks who DIDN'T believe he was a pedophile, and that he merely exposed himself to blackmail.

A very strange man, but a very talented man. The sides he cut with his brothers and as a solo artist for Motown, as well as his first two albums on CBS (Off the Wall and, to a lesser extent, Thriller) were outstanding examples of pop/soul fusion.

His personal life aside, Michael Jackson was a pop culture icon and significantly changed American music forever. I can remember watching his first rendition of the “moonwalk” as a kid and how everybody at school the next day tried to mimic it. And when Thriller came out ...

Wow. This is stunning.

News media is reporting he’s in bad shape, but not dead.

Is this confirmed? CNN and FOX report simply hospitalized.

All those sold out London shows for this summer. The unplayed Elvis show ticket will be worth more because there are fewer of them.

There was a question regarding celebs dying in 3’s on a farrah thread. Somebody hypothetically who would be number “3” afer Ed McMann and Farrah.
Some freeper replied “Michael Jackson” to the question hours before this happened.

No TV news is announcing as of yet.

I must admit I am stunned. AN icon of music... raw talent... messed up personal life... and no forgiveness from me for the abuse he brought on other children..

Also no forgiveness to the parents who brought their young children to MJ.

Tell the story but tell it with all the truth.

RIP MJ, you will always bring great musical memories to me.

Just think what they are likely to find in his house if he had no time to clean it out. Calling Whoraldo!
