Michael Jackson Dead

I did some Googling...there are the tabloid bits that now bring "Jordy's diary" to light...and a couple of articles on Jordan's confession.

I hope this makes it to a more mainstream media source; I would love for it to be true.

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, if it is true, what a despicable family plot! Charges should be brought against them if it's true. It would have been a deliberate extortion attempt and in the process a ruination of the man's life.

I've watched a little of his story on VH1 because it was mostly his performances. What a loss!

Years ago, I scored a couple of great tickets to MJ's Philadelphia concert. I took my 10 year old niece with me.....well, we went together and it was for her thrill, not mine. The concert was out of this world with special effects and music. My niece and I will never forget the fun we had getting to the concert, attending, standing on our chairs throughout the entire concert, and then getting home. It was my niece's first concert and she had flown from Florida to Phila. just for the concert. It was the such a highlight in her life.

I will say that Michael was one of the most talented people I've come across. His private life was part of his public life - he made it that way. I am sorry he left this earth so early, but that too was his doing.

We will probably never know what a life he led behind those closed doors. I would never know who to believe anyway.

I hope the best for his children. I don't think MJ's mother (and father?) are the people I would think of as guardians, but then no one asked me. No matter who they go to/with, their lives have changed forever.

Rest in peace Michael. You changed many lives - many for the better. You were such an entertainer - filled with talent and achievements. And you had your shortcomings as well.

Rest.
