RIP Michael Jackson

[Talos]

Agreed, Off the wall in particular.

Off the wall was co-written and Produced by Jackson with Quincy Jones, Paul Mcartney and Stevie Wonder amongst others.
What a lineup, with people like George Duke and wah wah Watson, just proves how talented he was at that time.

RIP Michael Jackson you sweet, strange, misunderstood and very talented man.

Hey Hollowcell your previous comment to this pissed me off too,
Why are you in a thread titled "Rest in peace Michael Jackson when you clearly hate the man?

Why are you trolling a dead man, in a thread intended to honour him?
You are as bad if not worse than the paparazzi who hounded him.
At least they lay off when he's dead.

If you believe what you read in the tabloids about him you're an idiot.
It's well known when he "showed his new baby to the world" he was in the middle of an extreme crisis likes of which you will never know.

I'm not defending MJ, he did silly things like any human.
No need to reply or quote me again, I know where the Daily Mail is if I need it thanks.

RIP Michael.

Yes it seems as there is.

It's not that I hate the man, I just hate the things he did. I don't read tabloids, nor watch commercial TV; my judgment of the man is purely based on that picture of him hanging the baby from the window - if he could do that to his own, what's stopping him doing bad things to other kids?

I don't give a fuck what he went through, as all of us have seen bad times and I could bet some of the things I have seen would equal or surpass his "extreme crisis". Nothing justifies a person risking the life of a child - although you seem to think the opposite.

This is more like the time to speak out as the majority of the population are mourning him like he was some great person. Wankers.

HC on form in this thread.

Jacko certainly did not invent pop music ffs and this oupouring of grief for a bloke who loved children a bit too much is bizarre.

And as morbidly fascinating as his life was, let's watch as his relatives all get litigious.

But.. I can remember him when he was 13. What a voice. Thriller was a fucking awesome record. Man. I met my first wife on a dancefloor with that on.

With all the world at his command he then disappeared up his own arsehole. Happened to my favourite Motowner Marvin too.

RIP Michael. I'll remember you for the great things.

My feeling is that he was a supremely talented lunatic. Do I lament at his passing? Not for a second. I see a photo of demented, white African-American, holding a white baby from a hotel window (Point = Baby, his or not?) that remained in his care after the event!! Too much benefit of the doubt, for my liking! (>_<)

His music is classic, and yet when I hear it, I do not consider the man who sang the songs, as they have transcended him. Should I be hearing those songs more often now that he is dead? Nope. Should we honour his influence on the music industry? We already had, years ago, with the purchase of LP after LP when we found his material worthy.

The news: Please, replace the Wacko Jacko focus with some study on the demographics of western troops serving in foreign wars zones, I would be interested in that. Perhaps a report describing the differences between the mentality of cultures of those that follow monotheistic religious doctrine and those that follow polytheistic religious doctrine, and the affect on solidarity? LOLZ! (^_^)
