    R.I.P. Michael Jackson

    News reports that Michael Jackson had a cardiac arrest and died.



    Who gets the first joke, and how funny and tasteless will it be?

    This is so sad. People may disagree in their opinions about his personal life, but the man was a musical genius.

    He was weird but oh so talented. We are losing cultural icons of a generation. How much do you think Farrah's poster will sell for now?

    How does Keith Richards do it?

    Hahahah
    Perfect.

    In all seriousness, I think the fact that michael jackson was (allegedly) a prolific pedophile is being lost in all the outpouring of grief.
    I enjoy his music but will shed no tears.

    His tombstone will say, "No one loved children more than Michael Jackson".

    You know it's true.

    The doctors at the hospital knew Michael had passed on, as one of them was heard saying... "all the color had gone out of him..."

    Yup

    They are still trying to determine MJ's cause of death...
    Doctors are currently blaming it on the Boogie.

    At least mortuary expenses might not be too high... they can skip the embalming.

    That's what I call planning ahead!

    ....Very sad day indeed when a good musician dies.. I don't like the man but I respect his talent...
    I see the good times etched in your face. I see the good times, that were once in place. I see the bad times, lurking in your eyes. I see the bad times, through the shadows and lies.The mask you put on is easy to see. The mask you put on, is no match for me.

    Because it was 95% plastic, Michael Jackson's nose will be melted down to make legos.


    Now little kids can play with him for a change.

    Yes the news is sudden, tragic and much of it is unfinished. What a family history - Latoya has already written about their family, much of the 'information' is suspect - possibly leading to Michael's feelings of self destruction. Lot of people wanted to put some blame on Janet - I don't see it, they both had brilliant careers, both reaching zeniths at different points of their lives, then going into a rest mode to write, re-energize and then get back in front of an audience.

    Did everyone hear the 911 call - the caller sounds a little light about this; the operator told him to place Michael on the floor to begin CPR; and the caller really didn't put him on the floor between the time the operator told him to place Michael on the floor and the operators next instruction. etc. keep listening to the tapes.

    The issue of the kids has come up repeadedly, probably they should just go with the natural mother or surrogate mothers, whatever - and let them lead normal lives following in the footsteps of their maternals. What a life though, very controversial during the last several years - should have retired to the south of France and just lived like a grandfather or something - showbiz saps the life out of people.

    So far it's been quite a month:
    David Carrodine, Farah Fawcett, Ed MacMann, and Michael Jackson.
