See, even wearing those stupid masks doesn't stop the swine flu getting through

As wacky and troubled as he was, I have to admit I did cut up a few rugs to his music in the 80's :)

Me too, he was awesome in his early days, just lost the plot I suppose 
I feel bad always taking the piss, but I'll get over it

Think of the 80's and you think of MJ. He was the bomb! Really sad how his life went into a downward spiral after that. I just feel for his kids now.

a shame to see him go downhill in the last 10 plus years   as everyone has said he was great in his day

just hope his kids are ok and he has left them something

I'm sure they wont have to worry about money, just hope they don't turn to abusing drugs etc. as we so often see these days

They'll be OK - they have theatre masks

hey you know plastic starts to disintegrate after 20 years

How long will it be before the kids start getting pushed to sing & release albums ??

Awesome dude in his day and sadly turned to shyte in the past decade.....


Oh yeh, Farrah Fawcett died too, but no-one noticed

I liked his early stuff and without doubt the Thriller album is a real classic.

It just goes to show time and time again that kids that grow up in the entertainment business and have all that media coverage and therefore miss out on a "normal" fun childhood end up losing out in the end. Its happened with MJ and Brittney Speers and heaps of others.

I really do feel sorry for the kids though, they are the most to lose out of this.

I dont think Jacko had much money at all, hence all the worldwide concerts that were booked, and you can bet your balls that whatever is left over will be snaffled by all the lawyers , managers and tour promoters which will leave the poor kids without a penny plus having to live the rest of their lives with constant media coverage and no money to try and hide from it all. Real sad IMHO.

You can say what you want about the man

but his music was great 

[Creech]

Totally agree.

Yeah I noticed, but her death was not sudden, everyone knew her time left was short

[pinnies4me]

I've had two jokes texted to me today already about his death - too soon to share??
