I feel bad for them as individuals... their lives are very sad, even though what they produce is brilliant and delights many future generations. <br /><br />FS -- You don't care about it, and that's your choice. But many people do care. Many people grew up on this man's music, and he meant something to them. It's very easy for you to say that the news should cover other things and forget about him, but you don't understand what he means to millions of fans around the world. <br /><br />"how can one compare the shock of hearing about a terrorist attack of planes hitting the WTC, and the "shock" of a pop-star dying?" -- Let's see... The Twin Towers fell when I was in 4th grade and had no idea what they even were. The first time I even heard of them was when they fell. I was too young to know much or care about something that seemed like it had no personal impact on my life. Michael Jackson was someone whose music I listened to and whose career I followed for a while when I was younger. It meant something to me, even though you might argue that it shouldn't have. <br /><br />And this is one post where I just won't stand for any negativity in the comments section. So unless this stops, I will either start deleting comments or I'll just disable them for this one post. <br /><br />I have said what I want to say and expressed what I felt, and that's it.inkstainedhandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981049559995351307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-20677677834287800542009-07-06T23:16:34.501-04:002009-07-06T23:16:34.501-04:00how can one compare the shock of hearing about a t...how can one compare the shock of hearing about a terrorist attack of planes hitting the WTC, and the "shock" of a pop-star dying?frumskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-40922115563642086502009-07-06T23:12:03.571-04:002009-07-06T23:12:03.571-04:00When I found out he died, it was because I subscri...When I found out he died, it was because I subscribe to daily news texts.<br /><br />I received a "news" txt that Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest. I told everyone around me, and moved on with my life.<br /><br />Its not news. Its pathetic journalists even waste time on this. WE have a war in Iraq and afghanistan. A crazy KOrean threatening to throw missiles at Hawaii, the Taliban trying to take over Pakistan (which has nukes), and our journalists are wasting valuable time talking about a guy whose lifestyle killed him; nevermind that his lifestyle hurt numerous little children.<br /><br />Now, its one thing to be a fan. I understand that. But over a week after the guy's death... really now? Shouldn't our journalists cover actual news!?<br /><br />In the meantime, they're giving the guy a public funeral, which will cost the city of Los Angelos $2 million for security.<br /><br />California is bankrupt. Governator is paying with IOU's. And this perverts funeral is gonna cost how much!?<br /><br />now THOSE are questions journalists should be asking "Why is the mayor of LA allowing this?"<br />"why can't the jackson family pay for it on their own?"<br /><br />not focus on "OMG ...JACKSON IS STILL DEAD !"frumskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990363895869876238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-70546386468523303352009-07-06T22:10:30.561-04:002009-07-06T22:10:30.561-04:00What bothers me when pop-stars die is that most of...What bothers me when pop-stars die is that most of them don't die normally. Don't get me wrong on this, I mean they don't die getting old as like 80-90. They die young. And although we aren't always told why, the usual reason is drugs. Drugs could come from different sides - could be stress relievers, painkillers (MJ; vocalist of Pantera used to take heroin for his back pain), sleeping pills (Eminem) or real drug addiction; but all of these always bring to the same result - early death.<br /><br />But I really don't care much about their personal life and how they use/waste it. I care about music and songs they write where best stuff is always made under drugs....<br /><br />And if they don't die but catch the rehabilitation on time they can't keep on the same level anymore - most always their stuff made on clean blood sucks.Dude with hat (aka BTS)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09732331063242686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-82769592343951367972009-07-06T20:58:28.605-04:002009-07-06T20:58:28.605-04:00It eludes me how certain people can be so judgment...It eludes me how certain people can be so judgmental and negative when all they know is what is fed to them by the tabloids and they don't bother to even try to understand. <br /><br />I am not ashamed, but you should be ashamed of yourself for leaving that comment and for insinuating that a person cannot be a fan because you are prejudiced against the artist. <br /><br />Michael Jackson was working hard just before his death, rehearsing for a 50-show comeback. He was just about to get back into the music scene and prove that his talent as a performer is not gone yet. He had grand plans for the future.... And then he died. He was only 50. So yes, I would say it was untimely.inkstainedhandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981049559995351307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912972352838230838.post-28410257335236686612009-07-06T18:41:46.901-04:002009-07-06T18:41:46.901-04:00Hannah, I'm shocked. A Michael Jackson fan? Yo...Hannah, I'm shocked. A Michael Jackson fan? You should be ashamed of yourself! Besides the fact that his music has been passe even to pop fans since 1985, that guy was known to be the most perverted/messed-up guy on earth since 1985! <br /><br />Also: How was his death "untimely"? He's been (literally) falling apart for years..<br /><br />About 9/11: ..I also thought it was relatively insignificant in the beginning...הצעיר שלמה בן רפאל לבית שריקי ס"טhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835340110056405173noreply@blogger.com
