I guess this means none of us will be able to go visit him at his Neverland Valley Ranch or help him play with his toys :eek:



Sorry. That was not nice. :(

Seriously though I don't envy him. His family really f&*ked him up. His problems were probably due to the fact that he never had a real childhood. Jokes aside, folks forget that he will always be the "King of Pop" and in the early 1980's he was the man.

He was not an idiot either...smart move starting his own label, or buying the rights to the entire Beatle's catalogue.

One of, if not the best dance song writer in history. RIP Michael

Only time I was ever an active listener of his work was as an 8 year old when my dad would crank Thriller and make me laugh with his middle aged white boy disco moves :lol:

My feelings are conflicted. I'll never wish death on anyone, but my level of sorrow for him and his loved ones is certainly diminished as I do believe the molestation charges to be true.

Strange, I am neither surprised nor affected at all by this. Honestly, not trolling or anything I'm just totally "meh."

Sad about Farrah, but that was a long time coming. Should've seen a real doctor, or given Jobu rum and a cigar, maybe sacrifice a chicken.

Ed was 86. Good long interesting and, I'm sure, fulfilling life. Looked a little annoyed by his younger wife on the episode of Dog Whisperer when Cesar straightened-out that pain-in-the-ass dog of his.

I was sitting at the bar and my Mom called and told me. I was always a fan of his music and i sang some of his songs on old home videos circa the early 90s...it's sad to me that someone like Michael with access to the worlds best healthcare died at such a young age but he did have alot of psychological issues...anyway all the local radio stations are playing MJ music...RIP..

the first thing i said to my wife was after these 2 celeb deaths that the SC gov is going to duck a ton of bad press. i think farrah will still get her love seeing that 2 major celebs died on the same day and they are re-airing her tv special about her battle.

Brian is thankful for AZ, it's his main source of news. He has no idea what's going on the SC governor though...

Not surprised , but the guy had talent , a messed up upbringing that no doubt contributed to his inner demons , Farah on the other hand suffered an agonizing end with dignity --RIP

Root has no idea what's going on with the SC governor either.

Root really digged MJ in the 80's, but once he started to do weird shit, I quickly lost interest.

The SC gov went missing for a few days last week(seriously nobody knew where he was). Then he turned up (Tuesday I believe) 1st saying that he had gone on a LONG hike of the Appalachian Trail, which then less then 24 hrs later turned out to be that he hopped a plane down to Argentina to get it on with his Argentinian mistress(and this wasn't the 1st time either)
