My life sucks...it just sucks...God must have it out for me or somethin...

I go through life more screwed than a 10 year old at the Neverland Ranch...

As 2 paramedics arrived at Jackson's house after an emergency call...

The 1st one says, "what shall we try 1st?"

The 2nd one replied, "i don't know about you but i'm having a shot on the ferris wheel"

[netguyjoel]

Oh well, Little Richard is still living.

Vine street Hollyweird (around MJ's star) was jammed with people yesterday and I couldn't find a damn parking space.

Where's MY chit?

Anyways, yeah, I'd take 50Mil sales easy...

Is it true that all musicians that toured with MJ during Thriller days were paid millions?

Damn, where's my chit?

Why did Lisa Presley and Micheal Jackson really get divorced.............?







There was a big misunderstanding when he said he wanted kids......................ANKYU.................Please stay seated...

STOP..! Your´re killing me...goes for Shrooms as well !!

The crazy thing is zangsta, that kiddie fiddler or not, MJ's death has caused as much internet chat as all the world's serious issues put together. Absolutely astonishing world we live in.

Poor Farrah......
Her family is probably glad though that nobody's bothering them.
Which brings me back to something else.
I did see Jaclyn Smith saying nice things about Farrah on some show today, and OMG she was worth many woodies back in the '80's, but when she walked out on the stage I was shocked. I haven't seen or heard of her for 20 years and all I can say is Day..Amn......
But she is an amazingly beautiful and unique woman. She's 62 years old.

'Nip tuck' is the new 'aging gracefully'.

I agree !! Absolutely crazy.
MJ-vids non-stop on the TV right now, my oldest son is asleep inb the TV-sofa with some channel on..

Jim, that Jacko's nose is collapsing too!

[at0m]

Weither he'll be reminded for his music or for his caricatural love for kids, the future will tell.

What's for certain, is that Michael Jackson's on loneley heights forever - as solo performer only to be accompanied there by Elvis and Sinatra, who can hardly be called saints either...

[netguyjoel]

Ah...the Chairman of the Board...my prefered dinner music w/ steak & a Martini...yes...a trio of very talented and yet, troubled men. I do wonder what would have become of Mike w/o Q, though..

[braincell]

Sinatra... another mob creation. I would rather of had a drink with Quincy than Michael and any *real* musician would agree or Stevie Wonder who shared the same background as the Jacksons. The media hype has been blown way out of proportion. It has little to do with music or entertainment unless you consider gossip to be good entertainment.

[dawman]

I like 'em all.
Jackson wrote some pretty phenominal tunes, and also used the video to sell music. Everyone coped his ideas for choreography, and to this day he has influenced so many artists.
Stevie Wonder is a freak of nature. Some of the best songs from the '70's of his made it to the chart books which usually takes years, as they usually are standards after 10 years, his songs were so good that went sales tapered off, it went right to sheet music and charts, and standards books.
And Sinatra was a song stylist, but without him, we would have never heard those incredible Nelson Riddle Orchestrations.

[garyb]

if you don't think that gangsters made Quincy Jones too, then you ARE naive.

[braincell]

I think they helped Mr. Jones too but he is in a different category, not the primary focus as a pop star is.

[siriusbliss]

MJ was a kept man from when he was a child to his death.

I predict his heart gave out from a bad combination of pain killers and anti-depressants.

I also think when he realized how bad his health was, and for the first time realized he might not be able to perform, which had to be depressing.
The first time that had ever happened was when he cancelled a private engagement with the Bahranian Prince, who he actually was sued by too.
All I can say is I saw all 3 mentioned artists above and all 3 shows were excellent.
Stevie Wonder was just great for good songs, killer Clavinet D6 chops and vocals, Frankie Blue Eyes was also excellent musically, but Micheal Jackson, at least when I caught the Victory tour was the best combination of choreography, music sound I have ever seen, and for a single person to captivate me for over an hour the way he did, I will never forget.
I seriously doubt I ever will be so moved by a performer like that again, I just can't see how.
And as far as Gangters giving guys breaks, that's America. One must dance with the devil sometimes.
I think the only performer that I have even seen that didn't have such associations was Scotland's own Susan Boyle, and that fact she told everybody to fuck off and eat shit made me admire her even more.......
Maybe now she might even get some old big fat gangster in the rack and her voice will even become stronger......

I really wish the media would back off a little bit on this topic too, but that's asking too much.
Here it is Sunday already and I usually watch PBS Great Performances, and later Law & Order's new series, and every commercial is more Micheal J.......................he is getting more attention than the JFK assaination did.........now there's someone who made it thanks to Mobsters.
