But I affrad His music is going to be every where now - which is great for the fans but for people like me will drive me insane.
Don`t get me wrong I know many liked his music - I just found it dull and thought he was a little crazy.
Music channels are going to be playing the top 20 hits of MJ, the craziest news storys - hours of comments from pop acts that did not even know him. And no matter what channel you put on He will be there. News stories on forums that have nothing to do with music, members shouting at people saying jokes about the guy when last week it was funny. There are even people asking what`s going to happen to the Beatles rights - my god - we live in a sad world. All this and he`s not been dead 2 hours yet...
They did the same thing with Diana, 2pac, Left Eye, Biggie and Jade Goodee and lets face it MJ is bigger than them all.
Here`s hoping the media backs off. I`m all ready sick of this story as its everywhere. Its sad he`s dead - it really is - but I dont need to know about it 24/7 for the next 3 months.
Wishing a peaceful goodbye from me to him - R.I.P to a icon of music

True he was an icon though and i understand but I'm more with Tweety on the idea that its best to drop it sooner than later.

and truth be told, you don't die at age fifty unless you bring it upon yourself (excluding cars, falling off stuff, etc.). He went into cardiac arrest, which led me to believe drugs were involved. I don't know what though, we will hear soon enough.
Oh well,
Rest in peace,
and haunt me,
that would be cool.
I mean really, its MICHAEL JACKSON..
But in all seriousness, he had to die eventually, so don't mourn his death.
to quote the great Gatsby:
"We should learn to appreciate someone while they are alive, not only after they are dead"

The jokes are in pretty poor taste, two people died, whoever took time out their day to put those images together is an ass, they haven't been dead 48 hours.

Well, I worded it wrong, but really, it is true.Originally posted by gster123

Unless it is a serious disease or a physical blow of some kind (which, may I mention, there was no knowledge of) it can really only be self-inflicted (either accidentally or purposefully) .
The immediate thoughts are on medication, according to CNN, and I don't doubt it.
And sorry about trying to lighten the mood, but remember, he was only a person. He had to die eventually... and the truth of the matter is that some people liked him, others didn't. The ones who didn't made those images. The ones who did were insulted by those images... I laughed at them personally, so I don't lean either way.
Now please, death isn't some big scary thing that is meant to be free of joking, smiling, and good-spirits. I personally applaud those who made the images, because the only way to get over a death is to laugh. Laughter really is the best medicine. And while it may be in bad taste, so were a lot of things Michael Jackson did.
My point is, don't be insulted by jokes, because they are jokes.
'nuff said,
-Andy

Anyway, I wish the media and the crazed fans would just let the guy rest in peace, he never got the peace before. Let the man have it now.

i dont know any of his songs other than a few (we had to sing them at primary school...)
heck i didn't even know his song black and white(?) was about skin colour until someone years later mentioned it
mainly because i don't think like that (why would i?) and people would dance to that wearing black and white clothes.

most cancers (whether you want to believe it or not) are self-inflicted, though accidentally. Your bodies ability to handle what you put in it is the only cause of cancer. whether it be smoke, McDonald's, or some other strange thing.....
sorry to be the enemy in this thread, there is a first time for everything, hehe
