It had to be a Volvo(Vulva) or a Freightshaker....ain't no Petercar or Kwhopper driver EVER listened to Michael Jackson...no way,no how

I even wore the Michael Jackson jacket with a thousand zippers.


RIP! The King of POP!
LOL, back in 7th grade my mom told me I had a choice: I could either get the flight pants or the "Thriller" album. I went w/the timeless choice, good thing I did!

Yada yada. Boy, you certainly are getting steamed up aren't ya? And yes, he was a great performer & artist, ask most musicians & artists of this time, they will most definitely include him in that category. And no, doesn't excuse what O.J. did, however I don't believe I brought O.J. into this thread, did I?

Again, what is this doing in the Politics forum? There are other threads in both Music and Other Topics.

Oh, is he running for some office somewhere?

Considering the disagreements that seem to be going on in this thread, I'd say it definitely fits under "controversial".

Goodness gracias! Even if you aren't a fan of Michael, at least have some consideration as many on CD and the world is shocked by his death. I was never a Jackson fan but even I'm upset over his death! If you do not wish to discuss this topic, there are zillions of other threads on here dealing with other controversies. If you wish to stay, please have some considerations for those of us who are grieving. Thank you!

Regardless, it's not the appropriate venue for this topic.
What does his death have to do with Politics?

May he rest and peace and may his family find some peace.

His thriller album was the 1st cd I ever got.

50 year old men don't drop dead of heart attacks without a serious pre-existing problems with his heart. None of which has ever been mentioned, maybe they were able to keep it quiet of maybe the heart attack was brought on by something other then a heart condition, like mainlining cocaine would be my first guess.

Anyone as mentally out of it he was, would likely seek out drugs (legal or not legal) to get away from the pain, mental and physical pain. His doctors had better have their I's doted and their T's crossed because they are investigating this death.

I hope now that the mystery that was Michael Jackson comes out.

Frankly I was more touched and saddened by Farrah Fawcetts death this morning from the cancer she had been battling.
