I never bought the child abuser/molester angle ... I'm like you, he was just weird and not of the normal world. Life in a bubble.
I think he liked kids because they are innocent, not conniving and non-judgmental - they accepted him for what he was ... the same way that Jesus talked about kids.
It appeared that a great number of adults in his life were manipulative, controlling and the public was certainly judgmental.
JMHO
And I have 4 CD's by him and Thriller is my fav.
I know Weird Al Yankovic will miss him ... he had several good parodies off Michael.

I always wonder where the Micheal of the past went. Remember the good looking, confident, (and black) Micheal who did "Thriller"?

While I thought he was talented, he apparently has killed himself with drug abuse like so many others. I saw some interview he did where he said he didn't want to die like Elvis did. I wonder why celebrities never learn. They surround themselves with a bunch of enablers that go along with anything instead of real friends that will intervene to stop destructive behavior. I'm already getting tired of all the news coverage. We have Farah Fawcett that dies from cancer, and Michael Jackson that kills himself with drugs. | |

Was one of his kids named "Blanket"?
I also heard that he died of food poisoning.

| Add me to the list of those who feel the same as stated above.
I just saw this and as things started to develop after the announcement of his death, you just knew this is where it was headed. I'm a huge progressive rock/metal/jazz/classical music fan but Micheal also had some kick arse music himself. Like so many pop culture icons, the public and those around them feed on them like vultures until nothing but the dead carcass is left. Micheal made his choices, no argument but he was still as much a victim and now gets added to a very long list of tragic figures.

If you haven't heard enough about M.J. through the major news networks, then tune in tonight to the B.E.T. Awards show. I'm sure it will be one tribute after another.

California is broke !! I sure as hell hope the Jacksons aren't planning on using police escorts for that 90 mile drive to Neverland!!
They better be paying for private security!!

I heard on CNN that when the autopsy was performed he was weighed at 113 lbs and had needle marks all over his arms. Just wait a few weeks, soon enough the tabloids will have pictures of him on the autopsy table. | |
