The King of Pop Is Dead

Reportedly, pop icon Michael Jackson has passed away after suffering from cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home earlier today. The singer was rushed to the hospital in a coma but paramedics were unable to revive him, after which he was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. The King of Pop was 50 years old.

With a career starting as early as age eleven with the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson is widely considered one of the most influential artists of the past century, and remains one of the world's best-selling musician of all time. The singer was in Los Angeles rehearsing for his upcoming sold-out performances next month which have obviously been canceled.

Jackson is survived by his three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Will you wear one glove and do the moon walk first?



I guess. How about a surgical mask along with the glove?

You don't just "stop" being a genius, genius.

And not every brain can be "fixed". I wish they could.



I'm not after an argument, but there's definitely an argument that "genius" can indeed "run out"; quite a lot of scientists do most of their best works in their early thirties then fizzle out. I'd say that the Michael Jackson that died yesterday wasn't the same Michael Jackson who wrote/performed all the great songs in the 80's/90's.

Definately agree with the second point though biggrin

Hey, all I'm saying is that, had he really wanted to check his head, he had more than enough money and opportunity to do so. He didn't. He purposely cultivated the bizarreness which dominated the last two decades of his life and, knowingly or otherwise, imprisoned himself in a masturbatory world of endless self-indulgence.

The real shame is that after Thriller, he seemed to become so large that no one could say no to him. People say he never had a childhood. That's terribly wrong. He did, albeit a miserable one. The problem is - was - he never became an adult.

And, yes, unfortunately there are some people who cannot "fix their brains." One day, hopefully, society will value the needs of such individuals and find a means to help them.
