Michael Jackson died

Nothing wrong with the J5, it's the "Elvis Jackson" thing that bothered me. The plastic surgery, the freakish acts with the kids, and the whole time everyone looked the other way simply because he was a pop star.

Ozzy drunkenly pissed on the wall near the Alamo and everyone wanted him hanged. Michael Jackson put his dick inside the asses and mouths of little boys and everyone lined up to get some of his cum on their own chin. WTF?

I didn't follow the guy's kid touching trials all that closely. But he did manage to not get convicted- I understand there was a settlement, which if he was innocent was a bad decision, but if you were accused of something that sensational, and you had a prosecutor coming after you hard, and the person doing the accusing said they'd take a check & go away, even an innocent person might be scared of rolling the dice with a jury & prison.

Having said that, he was a strange cat. Imagine if the guy was just a nice dude who had a rough childhood & liked hanging out with kids and lacked common sense, endstop. Pretty sad if that was the case.

Anyway, I have to admit, I was sad to see the news- my first reaction wasn't thinking about the freakshow of the last 20 years, but of seeing "Thriller" for the first time and just being a piss-scared 8 year old of that werewolf/cat thing he was (when he turned around and said, GO AWAY! with the eyes and teeth....I had nightmares but I watched it every time it came on).

Beat it was pretty bad ass, but ridiculous in retrospect....still, I wanted that fuckin' jacket (as opposed to the Thriller one....the one with the zippers was without question my fav).

I was getting to the point that I could get away from just listening to whatever my parents were into and could get my OWN tapes. Thriller was one of the first.

Grabbed VH 1984 a year or so later, and then, Sabbath, Ozzy, Metallica, & Maiden hit me like a ton of bricks, and the old stuff went in a box, but I remember (and I think most people close to my age remember) thinking Jackson was the fuckin' coolest motherfucker around. In 1982-83 there was NO comparison.... Madonna didn't come close. And I'm not talking about real music here- Yeah I know Randy had just streaked across the sky around the same time, but I wasn't to discover that for a couple years yet.

My immediate reaction to his death- a little nostalgic sadness, not necessarily for him, but for my selfish reasons- doesn't make me an enabler of kid touchers or of anything else. I just remember bopping up and down my parent's driveway with a crappy little tape deck, with Beat It turned up so loud that the little speaker overdriven to pure noise.

I had no clue at the time that one of my future favorite musicians was ALSO a part of that song. At that point MJ was such a big deal that I probably thought he did the guitar solo too.

So I think alot of the sadness people are expressing is just a sadness left over from their youth- From seeing a guy that people who were kids at that time idolized crash in such an ugly way, perhaps the ugliest possible.

I respect his talent and entertainment attributes but dispise him as a human being. I don't wish death on anyone but in this case...he reaped what he sowed, dead at 50.

It baffles the mind on how much praise the public is giving to a pediophile...its disgusting imho. All last night continous coverage on CNN and news channels, all the web coverage and now we'll have to hear all the bullshit news for weeks and weeks.

Here we have North Korea threatening to wipe us off the map, and insane dictator in Iran fixing elections, flpping off the world and building nuclear weapons to use agains US or Isreal yet Michael Jackson's death is somehow important...WTF?

that Katt Williams spot should be the only B-roll coverage on all of this

Please show me where these allegations have been PROVEN beyond REASONABLE DOUBT. They haven't - period.

It's pretty pitiful to read people here condeming Michael for acts that they have no idea that he did. They're most of the same ones that say that you can't believe anything from so-called "liberal" media - but they'll believe this. I'm definitely not surprised by this on the JCF though.

and OJ didnt kill his wife either....pffft.

And Clarence Thomas didn't sexually harass Anita Hill. Who knows with any of this stuff that is grossly overhyped and mischaracterized by the media.

He completely changed pop music and the world of dance. He was/is hugely popular in pretty much every country in the world. He put out some fantastic music and was probably the best dancer since Fred Astaire.

Was he wacko? Sure, but so would anyone who was super famous from the age of 10 and had a dad who regularly beat him.

No one could ever prove he did anything to the kids who stayed overnight at his ranch. Personally I think it was just greedy parents trying to get some of his money. If someone molested your kid, would you take a settlement? I would want the guy to rot in jail.

As far as his death overshadowing Farrah's, that's how it should be. No disrespect to her, but Michael was 10000x more famous than a sex symbol who was on a crappy TV show for a couple of years.

RIP Michael Jackson

Here's a little tidbit of Michael history that I'm personally aware of.

Michael loved pastries (cookies, cakes) and was extremely fond of pies. His favorite pie was sweet potato. I used to have a young lady who worked for me at my clinic whose mom was a close friend to the Jackson family. In fact, she has a whole room in her house dedicated to Jackson (not guitars ya goofs) memorabilia.

At some point in time, she had the pleasure of dining with Michael and some friends during the holiday season and Michael had the pleasure of tasting one of her sweet potato pies. He was so astounded by the taste, he would often fly this woman all over the country just to cook pies for him. Matter of fact, he flew this lady to Japan so that she could instruct his Japanese cooks on how to make the perfect sweet potato pie.
