Jackson Death: How do you feel about it? - Page 3

morethanpretty · 06-26-2009, 09:12 AM

I saw a special on him a few years ago, I think it was 20/20. I remember all the family members they interviewed that there was ever any abuse, or anything wrong with MJ. I also remember one point were the interviewer (barbara walters mebbe) and him were in front of a mirror, he was all distressed because he didn't want to look at himself.
He lived a very sad life.

Wasn't into his music, so I don't feel much impact.

Annoyed that the "news" is going to ignore important world events for the next 96 hours and is pretty much going to be showing nothing but tributes and inane interviews with his crying fanbase. Last night I watched as no less than a dozen fully grown men stared slack-jawed for several hours at the TV above the bar showing looping cellphone camera footage of the ambulance pulling away. Even the scrolling 9/11 ticker at the bottom of the screen had aborted normal functions to switch into Celebrity Death Mode.

don't really care.

I was gutted by the death of Nicholas Hughes.

ETA-- now they're saying MJ got a shot of Demerol at noon and it was "too much," - he got a daily shot of Demerol it seems. Was on lots of drugs...autopsy will out.

Same, except it was layne staley's death which I found so tragic I wept a whole day. Mostly for the lonley state in which he died and no fan fare, media coverage.

Superficially I wonder what makes M.J. so much more worthy.

They keep calling him the king of pop. If he ever was the king of pop, he hasn't been since thriller.

I don't think the media coverage is about worthiness or non-worthiness, I think it's just that people had heard of MJ.

Cloud · 06-26-2009, 11:14 AM

I've never been a big fan of his, or of pop music in general, but there's no denying what a big star he was, and what a big impact he had on music and dance. In particular, every hip hop, R&B, and So You Think You Can Dance type people owe a major debt to him--it was all from him.

As to his personal life--I think there was something in him that never really grew up. It was internal, as well as deliberate. I don't know if he suffered abuse, or was an abuser himself, but I think there was something off about him sexually--I never really bought his presence in the videos where he was supposed to be "bad" or "sexy."

They can deny you a job if they find anything in your piss in a quickie lab test, but it takes weeks to see if there were toxins in MJ's system?

That's because it's so hard to get 'em to piss once they're dead.

Much different test. Pee tests are limited in scope and specificity. Hair, blood, and bone will tell the tale.

Shawnee123 · 06-26-2009, 12:44 PM

Don't I know it!

Oh, um...ooops.

Sheldonrs · 06-27-2009, 05:21 PM

Liked some of his music but since i didn't know him, it doesn't really matter to me that he died. He would have eventually anyway.

Shawnee123 · 06-26-2009, 01:03 PM

Next time a potential employer wants a piss test, I'm going to ask them to do an autopsy, for accuracy.

Trilby · 06-26-2009, 03:00 PM

I would just like to ask where can I go to get a daily shot of Demerol?

Coz I'm liking the Demerol. Makes the world go all fuzzy and stuff.

Doesn't seem to have worked out too well in the long run, though.
