Re: Report: Michael Jackson Dead at Age 50
 

[quote=skinsfanthru&thru;564758]As others have posted, people will have whatever opinion they want about his troubles despite him never actually being found guilty of anything except for being more odd than most celebrities, but as an artist he was not only one of the most talented artist's ever, he was also one of the most influential. Hopefully he can finally RIP.[/quote]

Sorry man, when you SETTLE out of court on something you supposedly didn't do...not once, but several times, you are guilty as sin. Just cause you are not found guilty in the US court system, does not make you innocent. If he were innocent, he would not have settled and he would have used the court system to clear his name.

[quote=firstdown;564769]Yesterday my post was a gut reaction to his death as a child molester. If in fact he was innocent (which I think we will never know the truth) then God rest his soul. For me its a mixed bag of emotions because I to was a fan of his until that stuff came out about him and those kids.[/quote]

Yes, good post. That's a massive "IF", but I 100% agree. If innocent, I will certainly change my tune.

As you have iterated, it does allow in the light of serious doubt to your claims of innocence when you spend ....some millions to have it....go away......

Interesting comments by Lisa Marie:
[quote]A candid Lisa Marie Presley is writing about the death of her former husband, music legend Michael Jackson, who she says once questioned her about the circumstances surrounding the death of her iconic father, Elvis Presley. Lisa Marie also defends her former marriage to Jackson, and likens his passing to that of her father's.

Lisa Marie recalls her conversation with Michael on her MySpace.com blog, writing:

"At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.' I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that." [/quote]

Does this make anyone think Jackson wanted to go out like that? Maybe this was a suicide made to look accidental? We all know Jackson was kooky enough to try seemingly anything. Think of the extra stardom...look at all the singing icons of the past that had millions of records sold after their deaths. Nirvana (Colbain), Tu Pac, Elvis, Selena...the list is huge.

DISCLAIMER!

OK here comes a tasteless joke...those with no sick sense of humor should not read beyond this point.

I got these jokes in a text and it made me laugh, so for all those that are not Michael Jackson lovers...here goes:

(this one made me laugh out loud)
"Due to the fact that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, he will be melted down into lego blocks so that little boys can play with him for a change."

Here's the other, not as funny, but still a little funny and more tasteless:
"Farrah Fawcett arrived at Heaven and God granted her 1 wish. She wished for all the children to be safe. So God killed Michael Jackson."

Some will take offense to these, I hope if you read them you have not taken offense...those that disliked MJ because of his lewd acts are probably laughing, and they were for you. RIP Farrah.

He was one of main childhood idols as with alot of you guys. Despite the allegations and what not, I'd always remember the greatest showman of our times. MJ... MJ... MJ... your music lives on.
