News & Politics - Michael Jackson is dead - Page 4

I sort of still in shock/weird sort of state, seems surreal...

Uh Blah · 06-26-2009, 06:18 AM

I dunno if I'd say I'm in shock. I mean the guy was pretty sickly looking for sometime now. That said you can't argue his amazing one of a kind talent.

Cause of death is still not confirmed but there was definitely an abuse of pain medication. That combined with other factors can kill anyone.

He was without a doubt the biggest music artist in the world I think everyone everywhere has at least heard of him so this is such a huge shock, may he rest in peace.

as much as this is a tragedy, I don't like the wall to wall coverage of this in the news right now.

**canflam** · 06-26-2009, 12:28 PM

What do you expect? He was an icon.

dudeNchief · 06-26-2009, 12:47 PM

yeah, its a shame too because there are a lot of important things going on right now

weird this confluence of events, and this year is only half done

**canflam** · 06-26-2009, 01:01 PM

ITA! he was an icon and i think he deserves to be on right now.

Well, the news is a great shock. I mean, it wasn't publicized that he was gravely ill or anything to prepare the world for this. and this man was a legend to the young and old. He was loved across the globe. His death comes as a shock and is up there with the deaths of Princess Diana, John Lennon and even Elvis Priestley.

For most of us that have parents that are old enough to have grown up watching Elvis Presley or John Lennon when he was with the Beatles, we now know how they must have felt when the announcements of Elvis' and John's deaths hit the newswires.

It truly is a sad weekend for music lovers everywhere.

If you have VH1 Classic, they're airing his music videos all weekend if you didn't see them on MTV.

I was 10 when Thriller came out. I vividly remember the video's, the music, my classmates wearing the parachute pants and the mania of all of it!

Country is my main genre, but MJ will always hold a special place for me. He was an amazing artist.
