Did Ed mention MJ at the show last night?

you know. i wasn't really a fan, but the guy was brilliant. i also think he was mentally ill and was taken advantage of by those around him because he was a cash cow. i have no opinion on the allegations, except to say that i don't think we will ever know what really happened.

i also think a lot of you are being assholes. you don't have to be clever to make a michael jackson joke, but you could be decent and save it for a more appropriate time.

Michael Jackson touched people of all ages and crossed many boundaries (musically AND physically, of course).

The only mj song I can see ed playing is billy jean. Cornell did a good cover of that from unplugged in sweden

LOL

if you didn't know, that's the acoustic version of the full band version he has been playing since he quit audioslave which you can find on Carry On.

I think he meant that since Ed is playing shows similar to the Chris Cornell acoustic show in Sweden, maybe Ed could play it too. He didn't mean that the CC acoustic is the only version, you condescending bastard.

LMFAO

Seriously though, maybe a bit uncalled for. Though funny.

just because michael jackson was a celebrity doesn't make him different from all of the other pedophiles and predators of innocent children

Let me remind you that MJ was acquitted for all seven accounts in the court of law by an independent jury. Let me also emphasise - not generally known - that a psychiatrist (who was in the first instance actually hired by the prosecutor) testified that MJ didn't show signs of pedophilia or could be profiled as such. But I guess you know better, because you have a degree in ... what? Know-it-all? Or is it the often I-can-make-uneducated-statements-cause-I-read-some-newspapers degree?

The reality is often a bit more complicated than that.

Don't get me wrong: I think MJ was troubled (there are even scientific articles out there that state that he may have suffered from Body Dysmorphic Disorder) and that he had severe identity issues. (Especially concerning his age.) But to immediately call him a pedophile tells me a) you know nothing about this (specific) sexual disorder and b) that you, like many others, believe the disinformation and often simplified world views of the popular press. And that's too bad. We're a fanbased oriented community for Christ's sake; of all people we should know how distorted the general media can be.

Now this is probably a bit of a too complicated response and the last thing I'm going to be part of is a silly debate of yes/no. Or "but he stated he slept with boys" arguments etc. (Which is btw a statement a pedophile will not make, for his purpose is sexual. A person who is confused re his age however will make this statement openly and naively.) A very talented man has passed away who has influenced the music industry, thousands of artists and crossed boundaries, artistically and geographically, that most artists can only dream off. He was a troubled genius, undoubtedly. A misunderstood man. And the least you can do is show some respect and get informed.

And yes I do have a degree.

Shit I really hope he doesn't play Billie Jean. I don't think it would ever happen anyway as Cornell's already done it and Ed wouldn't really want to copy that. I'd love it if he dug out Rats and included the 'Ben' bit

Degree or no degree...that was one of the best things I have read in a loooong time. And I may add, I couldnt agree more. :-)

Thank you Fortyshades! Thank you!!!

You know, it really sucks to hear the hate and ignorance that so many people have projected on MJ.
He was an amazing artist, a beautiful soul, and despite all the crap the media put him through, he stayed
positive and hopeful.

Thank you for sticking up for him!

exactly. the ONLY thing that came out of the decade plus long investigation of the abuse allegations was that the second accusers mom was insane. She was a documented liar. Not about frivolous stuff like lying about her job to friends, but she lied about being assaulted by a security guard at Walmart, to try and get money. And again, she said she was worried, that Michael and his handlers would kidnap her and her son via a hot air balloon. Thats looney tunes folks.

The LAPD ripped apart Neverland, They searched everything and everywhere. They found NOT A DAMN THING.

Tom Sneddon was out to get Michael.

And its odd. If michael was made out to be some pedophile, wouldnt he have shown a pattern? Michael had sleepovers and hung out with many kids. The majority never accused him of a damn thing. High profile people like Macauley Culkin, Wade Robson and Corey Feldman all had sleepovers. None of them said Michael did anything inappropriate. Maybe they said he never did anything, because, OH MY GOD...he didnt do anything ever to kids! What a shocker people!

You're a completly right. I did write the message quickly (because I was kind if fed up with the childish behaviour on this board). Another reason that I didn't spell check is because it was 4 am in the morning when I wrote the message. I was veeerrrry tired. Besides, (but this is not really that important) I'm not a native speaker. I would love to debate for once in the Dutch language

All I wanted to make clear is that things aren't as black or white (no pun intended) as some make it out to be. I agree with your statements about the mother. The information I reffered to is also out there tho, so the information about the mother is not the ONLY information, but definitly important. I think that your comments about the "pattern" hits the nail on its head.

I'm off having breakfast now and dust off an Michael Jackson album I haven't listened to in ages. I would like to thank you for your constructive responses; it can still happen on this board. And that feels good.

Thanks dimitris.

My quick two cents on the child molestation thing….
If MJ did do anything questionable, I really don’t think he knew was doing anything bad. That’s how messed up he was. Not to make excuses for him, because it’s a terrible act. But that’s my opinion.

and we have a funny expresion in greece about opinion...
"opinions is like asses....everybody has one.."!!!!!!

Wrongly Accused

Farrah Fawcet arrived at the Pearl Gates and God asked her if there was anything he could do for her, after living such an honest life? Farrah replied, yes just one thing, please just make sure the children of the world are safe. 5 minutes later Michael Jackson died.
