Vale Michael Jackson

[GJPinAU]

Unbelievable to think he is gone.

Even my 16 year old was shocked to hear the news.

The retrospectives are just starting on the TeeVee here. love him or hate him, one thing is for certain, if he just got put into a coma, and recovered from it, he'd be set for life with the number of people that wanted to see him in concert before he died.

Not to rationalize away what he probably did, but you have to wonder how much his f'd up childhood contributed to the disgusting shell of a human being that kicked it today.

Only in America can a little black boy grow up to be a white woman

The jokes have started to roll in already, I won't repeat them.

I am not a big fan of Michael Jackson but it is sad to hear him go... 50 is just too young. It just seems that everyone is dropping dead this year. Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Natasha Richardson, Dom DeLuise, David Carradine, and too many others within the last 5 years... just too many too early.

Curiously enough my partner mentioned Farrah Fawcett tonight and I hadnt heard. Of those you list David Carradine stands out. If you know the series 'Morse', I am not ashamed to say I cried when Morse died and again when the actor who played him (John Thaw) subsequently died. I come from a generation that doesnt normally show emotions. But perhaps its not easy to see your hero die whatever your age
