Michael Jackson Dead

[blue]

MJ passed that physical exam in March - 4 1/2 hours worth.

However, perhaps there was a condition that he have a physician with him. MJ said recently that he was furious about the number of concerts booked - he said he didn't eat much, and now he would have to put on weight.

Like anorexia, when the weight starts to go back up, it can cause heart failure, so the gain has to be very gradual.

Maybe Mike was in too much of a hurry?

I think of Elvis - everyone around him medicating him, Elvis just addicted and going along with it.

Elvis was an addict and had nobody else to blame, even his friends where afraid of him. MJ may have been an addict, but Ill bet he had fewer friends then the King did in the end.

Two words for MJ - talented and tragic. With that said, I am ready for the media to move on. Enough coverage already.

Not a chance. I became weary of seeing coverage of Anna Nicole Smith's death and she didn't even come close to being a mega star. Seeing that results of the toxicology report won't be back for at least 6 weeks, then there will be the funeral, etc. Forget about it. I enjoyed his music and his performances and there's no doubt that he was incredibly talented but nothing can turn me against someone/something faster than a steady diet of it/him/her.

Well written and says it all.

I agree. They need to just let this rest now. He died... let him rest in peace. not having him on every news channel isn't gonig to make everyone forget. NO ONE will FORGET. in 6 weeks when the tox comes back... then report on that but until then leave him alone.

But they are just seeing the dollar signs that this kind of news can bring them and they are going to milk it for all it's worth

Be thankful he didn't exit in your town. The local channels have been relentless.

I want to punch most of the 'pundits' that have come out and talked smack about knowing he was all effed up. They just flapped gum and didn't say anything about it.

The worst of it is the Al Sharptongue/Jesse Jackass/syncophants in the media. All these people rode the gravy train until the conductor threw them off.

------------------------

I put on the music channels as background music for the house, There are some MJ tunes that I did not know he even sang/wrote.


Someone once said you could talk to anyone on the planet about the Beatle's music and they could sing the lyrics to at least 10 songs they put out.

It's the same with MJ......


BTW,

John Landis and Paul Mc Cartney were two morons who had beefs with MJ.

JL was suing MJ, He put out a release about MJ passing, so did PM-PM ripped off MJ when he bought MJ's catalog of music. I don't remember the details, but it was massive!

I thought it was the other way around. I thought MJ bought the Beatles music.

I believe it was the other way around. MJ bought the Beatles catalog and there was a big bidding war with MJ. This was after they colaborated on Black & White. Paul has always taken the higher road. MJ had such a circle of yes men around him that he didn't even realize how he was percieved most of the time. He left with $400 million in debt. Everyone kept telling him to sell the catalog but he wouldn't.
Either Liza or Liz said they were glad that he was being celebrated now because when the autopsy came out "all hell would break loose" so I guess we haven't heard the last of all this.

You are right, I had it backwards!

We keep complaining about the media giving us what we want. If people were not watching - it would not be on the tv, radio, magazines and newspapers.

We have such a thirst for voyeurism - as witnessed by a show such as Jon and Kate. Of course it helps if they are flawed or fail in some way. Then we really like to watch.

I feel sorry for Michael Jackson. He started performing at five. He never had a childhood so he was always trying to create one. One article in the paper about him today was written by a reporter who knew him and was asked to collaborate with him on the book Jackie Onassis wanted from him. It was very interesting. Jackson's need for affirmation. When he became a teenager his acne was so bad people did not recognize him and asked where was "Little Michael." Helps explain his obsession with his skin.

There were so many people around him who saw him as a money making machine - same with Elvis. Both became isolated from reality - tragically.

And they were both huge talents. With huge fan bases. The media will stop feeding us Michael Jackson when we get tired of it and stop buying it.

At least it is better than Kate and Jon - who never did anything but breed!

I sure wish there was a way to avoid all of this, but I guess unless you have a desert island to retreat to, then it will be in our face for some time to come. It seems there's not a t.v. station or newspaper or magazine that isn't plastering it all over. There's just no escaping it.

And I can't believe that his family would ever even consider a public funeral. Are they insane? Talk about a chaotic mob scene....

We have a community forum for our neighborhood and some lady is selling a ticket to a Michael Jackson concert for 50 bucks. Is it just me or is that tacky as heck? It just hit me the wrong way.

Oh - okay - got it now! Pretty tacky IMO.
The night he died, t.v. showed people selling MJ (newly made) t-shirts on a street corner. Damn vultures!!! Makes me sick!
