I totally agree! I will only be sad once ever: When I die myself. I am the person I care most about, and so, no matter who dies they will never be on the top ladder rung, there's always going to be a step up, y'know?

what i mean is, i'm sure most of the people on this board weren't all rocking out to Michael Jackson circa 1980-whatever the fuck. it sucks that somebody died, but frankly, people die every waking moment and it's unfair to just assume that since this dude was a 'popular idol' he deserves that much more attention.
i have no emotional attachment to MJ as it seems very few of the raving people going 'omigod mj is dead a blooh blooh blah blooh blah' had. before this shit, in the minds of most people the guy was a South Park joke; now there's facebook groups dedicated to blubbering about his death.
it's not that i have no feelings and feel 'who gives a shit that he died', it always sucks when a guy dies.
that said, i will be more upset when my dog dies.
all of this topped with the fact that there's a pretty good chance he did naughty shit with little kids makes me not really care.
cry from your heart people- not because that other guy is crying
Reed:
Here is the thing: most people who die every day did not play a major role in shaping popular music. Even if you didn't like his music, you should still be able to appreciate his impact both in music as well as being one of the very first black musicians to get their music videos on MTV.

Oh, this is just going to go absolutely swimmingly, I bet.

Word, considering that MJ's dad is half the reason he's as fucked up as he is...
nobo:
half? you're being awfully nice. i'd say closer to 100%
Reed:
I think (hope) that Jackson's parents are divorced and the children are going to the mother.
