Michael Jackson R.I.P.

[yvanleterrible]

MJ was entertaining in everything he did or did not do, right down to gossip.
He will be missed...

@Laz116: I have read your posts and didn't realise English was not your first language - now that means either you are really good - or I (as a born and breed Englishman) am really cr*p at my own language.

I prefer the former

Hmm .... Danish not being a Latin based language, I'm not certain that would work. However, there is always the grand old American fall back position ... if you SHOUT loudly enough, they'll understand you better.

I just got a call from my sister. It turns out that some photos from Michael last music video shoot were posted on TMZ and I'm in one of them. The video was never completed because Neverland was raided on the second day of the shoot. I'm behind the man in the baseball cap.

Wierd guy. Great musician; I'm very sorry to hear of his death. It's going to cost someone an absolute fortune to sort out the mess with the 50 sell-out concerts at the O2 Arena in London that he was due to start next month.

He will be missed . R.I.P.

I heard it this morning, when I woke up at 6.

He was a great artist. Though he had some problems the last few years, it looked like he was getting his life back on the rails.

He will be missed and I wish his family a lot of strength and mostly, peace.

The BBC are reporting that, in the hour following the initial reports of Mr. Jackson's death, Google received so many search requests for his name that their servers diagnosed a "denial of service" attack and gave users an error page rather than search results.

It's a telling shot: He doesn't look good there at all. But then, he's been in frail shape for so long, I guess everyone was beginning to think he'd just stay sickly-looking forever.

This morning there are reports, none yet verified, that his multiple medications may have brought on the heart attack. They will be doing the autopsy today, but it may still be awhile before more definitive (and accurate) news is available.

Kind of reminds me of the whole Anna Nicole Smith thing. I don't know what it is with people and taking so many different meds. These celebrities have so many different people taking care of them that it seems way too easy for something like prescription interactions to go awry. It's all so sad, really.

Well that picture was from 2003 and he was in great dancing shape. He was jumping on chairs, from table to table and on bar tops dancing for multiple takes. He was strong.

You do realize that there are more than one of the men in that photo wearing baseball caps .... right?? That means you are either (1) what looks like a white guy with a mustache (?), or (2) a pretty black lady with glasses. I'm voting for #2.

Oh yeah, there are 2 hats. Yes, I'm the second one.

Hooray, finally a picture to go with the name.

Nice to meet you, Daffy!

Well, I must take between 15-20 pills every damn night, and now the doctor wants me to start taking 2 more. Drugs react differently with each person and depend a lot on personal habits and other physical conditions. I've been on the same meds now for close to 20 years, with nary a side effect. Even when they added Vicodin, Darvocet and Skelaxin to the mix, nothing. Nothing when they added the blood pressure meds (except the little heart attack when I was off the bp meds for a few days).

So, it's not always the person taking the drugs, or even their doctor or pharmacist who's at fault, because no one may be at fault. I've been warned of so many potential drug interactions and side effects, none of which has ever happened (to me anyway), that after a while, I find I just shrug most of them off.

oh well. let him rest in peace.
