Sadly it appears to be true...

I remember THILLER coming out and being the biggest thing in the world.

My co-worker said that she hopes that someone burns everything that might become incriminating from his house before things hit the press.

One less pedophile to be concerned about

He was a bizzare creature. But even I, who isn't crazy about music written within the last 45, years think the guy was incredibly talented.

So many things come to mind.

What I find astonishing is the news blackout on anything other than this sad individual. How does this reflect on our culture?

All I can say is Sha mon.

In other words, what else might be happening while our attention is forcefully diverted?

It was THE news story in here this morning. I suspect that MJ documentaries will soon appear and the radio stations wil play his music. I certainly plan to look up my copy of HIStory and Dangerous and play them this evening. I don't call myself as a fan, but somehow it seems appropriate. No matter what kind of man he was in his private life, he did make many great songs.

MJ will be missed. He was NEVER found guilty of any child molestation charges. Some will say he bought his way out of it, but nobody knows the truth.
No other entertainer in history could effect a crowd like MJ did.
He did a LOT for the music industry.
If he did do what "the media" claims he did, there is only one judge that counts.

When Farrah Fawcett got to heaven, God said "You lived a good life and were an honorable person so I am granting your prayer request. You prayed for all the children on earth to be safe so I'm eliminating their biggest threat."
RIP Jacko.

Michael Jackson was a phenomenal entertainer with his singing, dancing, and music videos. No matter what this man did or did not do in his personal life is not for me to judge - neither is it for anyone else.

Only his God knows what kind of a man he was. Only his God has the right to judge him.

Can we not just feel bad at the loss of a great talent without going into the darker areas of his life?

Please

Sandy

Amen to that Sandy. I've never been a fan of trial by media. How can any of us KNOW anything??

He is now where we will all one day be judged. Only then will we be tried for what we have done not what people "think" for good or for bad so in the meantime - RIP Michael

He was a VERY sick man. I am not even talking about his public trials, I am talking about him being ashamed of who he was, and spending so much money to make him look white. That always bothered me about him.

One of the saddest parts of this whole media frenzy, is that two other wonderful people died, and they are now being ignored.

Oh well ...

Chuck, who was never a fan of his

You're right Chuck. Lets face it: The guy lost it entirely. I have no idea WTF he thought he was at the end. The media frenzy shows just how far someone can slide.

I'm getting real tired of seeing him on every channel and four columns in newspapers. Enough. He's getting more press than JFK. Ed Murrow was right that TV has become only entertainment and a distraction to sell crap. "Lights and wires in a box."

He was right. START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!! You need to
