Jesus, what a bad day, no week, I generally don’t do death announcements on EM because I’m just not qualified to do stuff like this and frankly I don’t really have a close enough “connection” to these people to really feel anything about the deaths. But it seems like Michael Jackson has been there all my life and his death was just so sudden and out of the blue. First Ed McMahon a few days ago, Farrah Fawcett this morning and now Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson? These damn media people are already chomping at the bit to bring up the Pedophile charges again. Even though nothing’s ever been proven, the media crucified him based on nothing more than innuendo. It was the thing that turned me completely off of gossip journalism and the main stream media – to this day I won’t watch an ABC News program because of the hatchet job they did on him. I was hoping his summer tour would put him back on the map. I made a bad joke at work when I saw that Farrah died, which was shocking enough, but it was the standard they die in threes joke, and now this. Just, wow, what a messed up day.
Update – MSNBC is reporting that Michael Jackson had arranged to give back his Beatles rights to
Paul McCartney.
Here’s a reminder of Michael’s former greatness…
Update 2 – Huffingtonpost has a nice little slideshow here. I loved Reverend Al’s comments.
Update 3 – Tomorrow I’ll do a post of all MJ Music Videos, but here are a couple of the classics
Captain EO Pt 1 –
Captain Eo Pt 2
RIP
Does this mean he'll be coming back as zombie Michael Jackson from thriller?
i knew he was ill – hes being looking pale for ages !!!
hes not dead.
Rest In Peace.
Poor guy.
I feel so bad for his kids.
if jackson is not dead…so, james brow his not dead too fuck!!!
Oh I can see where this is going – it's the same as with poor Elvis, people are going to keep on insisting that he's still alive
Good night, sweet prince.
And flocks of angels sing thee to thy rest.
I love you MJ. Rest in peace, hon.
Poor Michael, he died pretty young, He'll be the next 2pac before you know it
Did everyone forget that David Carradine died as well? I guess he was not a "celebrity" like Farrah or Michael or even Ed. If you've ever watched the tv series Kung Fu or saw Kill Bill 1 and 2, you know who I'm talking about. I guess he's just not worthy to talk about amongst these other stars that have passed.
R.I.P
R I P

Leedo ur a liar
talented but tragically flawed and sick….it is never a "beautiful thing" for an adult man to sleep with a child…EWWWwwww

its unaccepted end of musical era of our life.
d man who learn how to move our bady, may good give him sadow of his kind
i can't believe how ignorant some people are, even now that MJ has died. i think if you can't show compassion and sympathy, then you need to shut-up. his family is grieving right now. what if it was one of your relatives that died and people said ignorant things about them? or even you that died, and people said ugly things about you? if you can't say anything nice, then don't say it all.
i completely agree with you!! these peopl are pathetic!!
R.I.P. Michael Jackson, we will miss you. A legend, an icon.
Due to the fact that Michael Jackson was 99% plastic, he will be melted down into Lego blocks so litle kids can play with him for a change!

i can not belive the people on here leaving the comments about the children… you are pathetic, he went through enough of it while he was alive, let him rest in peace now!!! Whether u like it or not MJ WAS and will ALWAYS BE the king of pop!! nothing was ever proven with the "molestations" and if you ask me it was a joke, just a family that was dead broke and couldnt pay their bills so they decided to take MJ for all he had… they need to go back to mexico or w/e the fk they are from! and for the rest of you HAVE SOME RESPECT!!!! RIP MJ YOU WILL BE FOREVER MISSED BY ALL!!!!
