    Re: Micheal Jackson Died today...

    Regardless of what one thinks of Michael Jackson, it is impossible to relate it without using superlatives. He was one of those individuals that left an indelible mark with every thing he did, and very few people in the industrialized world did not know who he was. Celebrity does peculiar things to those who gain it. It is how the celebrity deals with those peculiarities that determines their final judgment. Some use fame and fortune for good purposes, some use it for personal gratification.

    History may or may not be kind to Michael Jackson. He was unarguably influential, but frankly was no saint.

    I heard about Michal gacking while I was in a used CD store. Guy answered two calls looking for MJ stuff while I was waiting to pay. He told the callers that he had already sold some stuff so they better hustle.

    I told him to get his butt out into the aisle and add $5 to the price of each MJ item -- easy money and people would pay it without batting an eye. He and the other dude behind the counter just laughed -- too fat and lazy to actually do it.

    Something tells me neither of them owned the store.

    The jokes are out already................

    Due to the fact that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, he will be melted down into lego blocks so little kids can play with him for a change.

    Big difference though between acknowledging you're not perfect and striving to be (even though it is unattainable it is admirable) and acknowledging you're not perfect and not caring.

    I think Marley's comment was more towards the ladder.

    Still, you're right. We shouldn't point fingers because as the BIG Man said, "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

    A talented dude MJ was, with a life that he probably squandered in my humble opinion. I wonder if he was EVER really happy sometimes. Then again, many of us could ask ourselves the same thing.

    Being a good performer does not make someone a good person. He was a freak and is better off where he is. And so is the the youth of America!

    I heard on the radio that Elton John was going to re-do a song like he did for Lady Dianna.

    He was going to rename it "Don't Let Your Son Go Down On Me"

    Sorry but it was too easy to let go.....

    My question is how can someone be 400 million in debt and still keep his mansion, personal amusement park, live-in doctors, etc, etc, etc

    We would be on the street......

    its pretty easy, if your 400 million in debt, and you own a billion dollars worth of crap you actually have a net worth of 600 million.:TU:
