Michael Jackson was an androgynous and pedophiliac freak show and to paraphrase Mark Twain “I will not attend the funeral but I will send a nice letter stating that I approve of it.”

It’s the Lord’s business now. I thank Him every day that I’m not a judge of souls, only behaviour. He’s gone. It’s up to God.

I think he just never grew up and thought nothing of having “sleep overs” with boys. Probably a normal kid activity he missed out of growing up. He didn’t molest them, but as you say, he left himself exposed to blackmail.

The underlying reason I believe is anorexia...he never ate and took pills. Reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith....

“I just want to say that these will be my final show performances in London,” he said to the screaming crowd. “This will be it. When I say this is it, this will be it.”

Looking fit and heavily made up, his straightened black hair a contrast to his scarlet mouth, Jackson showed up at the news conference 90 minutes late after traveling by bus in a motorcade. Jackson appeared to soak in the crowd, who shouted his name and “I love you,” by pausing several times during his very short statement. He also seemed to make a point of showing how fit he was by pumping his fist a couple times in the air.

“I love you,” he said to his fans. “I really do, you have to know that. I love you so much. This is it. See you in July.”

Many wondered whether Jackson was healthy enough to perform again when he announced his plans earlier this year.

Recent pictures have shown him being pushed in a wheelchair, appearing frail and gaunt and wearing a face mask while being helped across the street. In December, there were reports that Jackson was on his deathbed suffering from a rare lung condition, which his publicist denied.

Farah and MJ in the same day. That’s shocking.

Plus the death of Ed McMahon. Sad.

ABC radio (Rush/Sean/Mark station in DC Metro) saying unconfirmed but sounds valid.

You must have been very close to him to know what was in his heart.

Either that, or maybe he can read a newspaper.

I’ll bet Obama has a statement on this pediphile’s death faster than he did when the soldier was killed in Little Rock. Any takers?

I’m with you: I never understood the appeal of his music. I can’t think of one piece of music of his I enjoyed. Thriller? yikes.
Just not my style I guess.

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.

BS. Everyone bears responsibility for their own actions. The "I'm depraved because I am deprived" defense doesn't work. Prisons are full of such people. Yet, many have come out of such circumstances and not committed such crimes. His ability as an entertainer doesn't excuse his actions.
