Not sure about the man, but liked his music. R.I.P.
Michael Jackson Dies of heart attack
- Thread starter Pete
- Start date
Surreal Michael Jackson moment: on a bus deep in the Malaysian jungle with "Thriller" blaring over the PA system. I was the only white person in a 100 mile radius...circa 1990.
Don't forget that Ed Mcmahon also passed this week!

Jackson was a total nut case - totally whacko and , allegedly, a paedophile.
My 2 pence worth.
Nobody, in my world at least, gives a toss about his passing. There are real people doing really heroic things every day and sometimes things don't work out for them so why give a shit about a total idiot like Jackson. What ever happened to him was his own making.

you may be right, but i think everyone with a little feeling for rythm and music cares and the ones who can sit still at "Don't stop till you get enough" (my favorite Jackson song) miss something in their live (not necessarily because of Jackson). May be it can not be perceived in a black and white vision of our world, but he was grey anyway.

Amen, David. The guy was a freak. Talented, maybe, but he got lost somewhere along the way. The scary part of this is with Afghanistan going strong, Iran in turmoil and N. Korea threatening nuclear war, our headlines and front pages are filled with Michael Jackson. What the hell is wrong with us?
He peaked when with the Jackson 5.
He is escaped on that misterious island, with Elvis..jim Morrison...Marilyn Monroe...

Nah - they wouldn't accept such a whacko nut case.
You just don't hear much about the $400M that he is in debt. Just how do you spend 20 - 30 M more than you make each year? He was not in our reality.
You must have been reading my mind i said nearly the exact same thing to someone yesterday..... i'm not looking forward to the endless tributes, and his eventual Sainthood!!
You are so right. I believe it was Jimi Hendrix who said, "Once you're dead you've got it made for life."

Daryl, you are correct - it was Hendrix.
"It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life."
"It's funny the way most people love the dead. Once you are dead, you are made for life."
Or the comment Hollywood agent Sue Wangers made when Elvis died, "Good career move!!!!"
He missed his calling. Should have become a Senator or President.
...and also add the 90 millions euros to refound cause seems he probably cannot make the upcoming music tour.
