as someone who usually enjoys reading yours posts, I have to ask you, is there any fucking need for this?
Sure the guy was troubled, manipulated, and unashamably used/drained for the purposes of money by those who were supposed to be close to him, sure he had money, and sure he wasnt your stereotypical normal, but then again when you are stripped of your childhood, given the upbringing he was said to have had, is that so unnatural?
The man did so much for the world both in his talent and charity work, and all we can muster up here is some apparent bullshit about playing with kids. Shocking it really is.
Ask yourself, this twat known as Jordy. He wanted justice right? He wanted Jacko to pay for what he 'did' to him, he wanted the world to know, and for Jacko to get a conviction? Hmmmmmm. Strange that that all stopped when he got some money. But thats the story of Micheals life or so it seems, people exploiting him for everything he was worth along the way. He was a cash cow, and I'm afraid when you are of his mindset, and you get fucked over by everyone who is supposed to be your friend, you must wonder where you can turn to find real support, trust and integrity. So I'm not saying its right, because its clearly not, but its easy to understand why he found comfort in having friendship with young people. Mainly because they are not motivated by greed, and a friendship is just that. Sure its insane, but thats the life he found himself in,. through the riguers of world stardom at a very very young age, and through the loss of his childhood, and the loss of any kind of route through those early formulative years which make us who we are.
The man was tried for these allegations, and you know what he was found innocent, thats enough for me. The blood sucking parasites got fuck all this time round. But they did finally ruin the man once and for all, so perhaps they are proud of that.
Dont get me wrong I'm not his biggest fan, but to see someone who has clearly been fucked all along the way through what can only seem a troubled life, management, advisors, bankers, labels, friends, families etc, is truely heartbreaking. Micheal was an exceptional talent, who can only be put up there with lennon and Elvis. Not only that he was probably the best performer the world will ever see. Again i stress I'm not a huge fan, but I do recognise how great he was, and the mark he has left. Its extremely sad and your comment seems very harsh in light of his death, and sits very uneasy with me
RIP MJ
Well said.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Whether you are a fan/artist of Death Metal, Gospal, Rock, Indie, Grunge, R&B, Dance, Pop, Classical or any musical genre, everyone has been touched by Michael Jackson's music somewhere down the line. Take away the weird lifestyle and we remember an outstanding musician and entertainer. Off The Wall is one of the greatest albums of all time, can't believe it's as old as I am. I really hope he is remembered for the music and not the other stuff. I listened to him as a child, and despite my musical influences moving towards Rock, Dance and Indie music, you can hear pieces of his legacy in most things. A great loss to us all.
Rock on!!!!
Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.
I'm going to admit that I haven't been a Michael Jackson fan ... not since, well (I'm going to date myself horribly here) when I was a little kid and there was a Jackson 5 Saturday morning cartoon and I thought the songs were good. In my opinion, there were better, less-hyped artists to listen to in the 80's and the fashion that came from him looked ridiculous to me. The attention he got from the media for everything else made me bored and anxious at the same time. Weren't there more interesting and important things to pay attention to? That said, I'm bracing myself for some more media saturation on the subject of his death, but I'm going to be judicious about what I read and watch. I'll start with this ... http://tinyurl.com/newsy4.

I never like Michael Jacksons music, and hearing that like molested boys doesn't help either.
What I realy feel bad for is Farrah Fawcett, who died yesterday also. But since MJ is more popular, nobody will remember that she died the same day too. But to be completely honest, I never knew anything about her either.
I’m with the people who say his whole life was a tragedy. Rather it be his parents, the media or some other factor, the kid had no sense of normalcy in his life. It breaks my heart to see pics of him as a young kid, and think of how he turned out. It reminds me of what has happened to Brittany Spears sort of. People use these young kids. Use them, and spit them out. It’s disgusting. Nobody's there to protect them, and some of them end up becoming freaks like MJ.
I’m glad he can be at rest now. he never was 'of this world'.
I consider myself a music lover. The first song I remember going gaga for was Beat It. I couldn’t have been more than 7. I'm not a fan, but i'll never forget who sang my first favorite song.
When I was like 8, I tried to teach my 5 year old brother how to moonwalk. It ended in his first set of stitches!
When you’re famous, you definitely need to have something that grounds you. He had nothing/nobody to do that for him. (Makes me glad Depp has his island! ....and Ed has surfing, his family etc.)
