Gosh… Not too long ago I was just talking smack about Michael Jackson’s bad plastic surgery…
Now he is gone out of this world. Although he might be a wacko but his talent in music will always be a legend.
It was just a shocker for me today… If anybody is interested in the story... here is a link from CNN.
Rest in peace Michael Jackson
He was an incredible talent. I will never forget the first time I saw him do the "moonwalk".
I hope folks will focus on all the positive and good things he did in his short time on this earth. He is a musical legend and his music reached across the globe.
I know that he has had a lot of bad press and a lot of the U.S. hasn't seen him in the best light but he was a very talented man. It was a shocker for me as well.
Michael was world as a young child. I would wear mothers leather clothing to try and be like him (his picture on the Bad album). Rest in peace Mike. muah!
I've never been a fan of the man, but i am a fan of his music. I play a lot of his music in spinning class and made a class take a "moment of silence" yesterday while I played one of his songs. I live in a very small, narrow-minded "hick town" and thought i was going to be hung by making them do a moment of silence for good ole MJ. :)
Personally I wouldn't tip toe around the issue anyway I didn't agree with some of his actions, or his silly Plastic Surgery. I'm sorry he passed away, but I found his music middle ground stuff. Didn't really hate or like it to any great extent.
To me if people have issues with the man, I think they should be allowed to express them, in a reserved manner of course, without getting slated, for disrespecting the dead.
He might not have been as bad, as someone like an islamic hate preacher, but he had his faults, and he wasn't as respectable a person as I think he could have been.
Hopefully his family can get all the little bits and pieces out of the way quickly, and get on with their lives.
