Michael Jackson Dead

[Grace]

perhaps... but the doctor taking off afterwards makes me think perhaps he isn't exactly the professional you picture when you hear "cardiologist"

but I guess he is back now and talking to the police.

According to an article in the NY times, Dr. Murray is not board certified in either of his two specialties - internal medicine and cardiology. While board certification is not required to practice a specialty, it is recommended and indicates a high level of training and expertise.

The 'doc' was assigned to MJ.

AEG, the company that was 'sponsoring' the tour sent the doc to be at MJ's side. Apparently there was something about MJ passing a physical so the tour could be insured.

I thought the part about the doctor being sent from the company was just speculation? To me it makes more sense that he was an enabling doctor that Michael found that would give him whatever he wanted.

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.

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!
