5 pages in 5 hours. Fastest thread ever?
he was a wierdo but his contribution to music was unarguable
on the plus side i bet Gordon Brown is moon walking across his office, can't see MP's expenses being in the news much for the next week!
Similar to what previous poster said - I think it's just great that I will forever remember exactly what I was doing when I found out MJ died.
[b]Diana[/b] - In Edinburgh popping out to get the Sunday paper
[b]John Peel[/b] - Listening to the radio while doing PhD fieldwork on Thursley Common
[b]9/11[/b] - Installing a new fish in my aquarium
[b]MJ[/b] - Being a sad loser / noob on a geeky and fairly socially inept MTB forum.
TBH I find it actually quite a relief (for him) that he's gone. Poor guy, never really seemed all that happy, did he now..?
I'm sick to the back teeth of all the hand wringing, tributes and insights into 'his life', already, FFS! I dare say Glasto will be awash (see what I did there?) with badwagon jumpers proclaiming how wunnerful he was, from the Pyramid stage. Have a feeling a certain Mr Young might not be one of 'em, mind.
Sad news. He was my favourite nonce.
50 no age at all poor chap.
lol @ andyp
really shocked....
....by the reaction in media and the crowds of mourners seem around the world? they just can't get enough can they?, what a thriller
so when does Elton release a charity song in his honour?
Those of you defending him in relation to never actually being convicted in court of being a kiddie fiddler WAKE UP!
It was his fame that got him off the hook in court, he was without a doubt a very very strange man, admitting to having boys in his bed and countless witness statements of boys going up to his various hotel rooms when he was away from home!
In my eyes he was 100% guilty and we can do without monsters like him, his death is no loss to society and the newer generation sadly don't see that, good riddance!
No telly or radio for me today then - I can't stand the 'gushing' on these occasions.
When I read it last night I thought 'Wow', but that's about it. Liked a couple of songs but didn't like the great majority and he was just weird.
Well, I turned in the telly this morning and wasn't surprised to see the only story was dead Jackson. But imagine by shock and horror when there on the screen, invading MY home, was Uri ****ing Geller. God that thing is almost more of a freak than whacko was. Can't stand him.
Aparently he did manage to whisper a short message to the paramedics on his way to hospital....."Put me in the childrens ward"
who is this Michael Jackson chap who's died?
Is he like Usher or Justin Timberlake?
Sad but hes a 80's icon IMO.
I aways said an arrest would end his career..........
Do you think Diane, Michael and our queen of the people Jade are up there right now together?
It was only a matter of time...
Who's going to blow Bubbles now?
Pop goes the Paedo!
Well thats one way to get out of doing all those concerts..

They can finish rest of the cremation on him now.
Nah! They are going to recycle him into 10,000 Tesco carrier bags.
I shall NOT be taking a radio to the Lakes.
Anyone whose best mate is that Spoon Bending Idiot Geller cannot be a full load.
Local Manchester girl just walked in and said she has been up crying all night. 😐
so when does Elton release a charity song in his honour?
According to the radio this morning he dedicated Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me to him at a charidy ball last night.
Has the man never heard the Please Let Your Son....... gag?!
Nah! They are going to recycle him into 10,000 Tesco carrier bags.
So he'll still be bleached white and dangerous to children?
What's the difference between Michael Jackson and Alex Ferguson?
Ferguson will still be playing Giggs in August....

"that's bad"
his contribution to music was unarguable
I think it was. One stellar album that outsold the next best selling album about four times over, but everything else was average IMO.
"average IMO" - that's why the 50 shows were sold out because his music and performance was only average - DOH!!!
Its out of mild curosity that I keep coming back to this thread...to see how distasteful its going to get before its closed.
I enjoyed his earlier music and his 'best of' album is one of the few CDs in the car that the family can agree on to listen to.
i always find it bizzare that people respond in such a way that that will be these coming weeks to someone they never knew.......
Well said that post! Having lost someone very close to me this year (dad) I couldn't possibly be in the slightest bit upset at MJ's departure.
"average IMO" - that's why the 50 shows were sold out because his music and performance was only average - DOH!!!
Some people are easily fooled. He made a career out of one good album.
nuke - I agree, to me it seems like MJ wasn't the only one with issues judging by the comments on here!
Shhhhammmooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone muthafuka!
mastiles_fanylion - I also lost my Dad this year in March so please accept my condolences.
I still maintain that his music contribution meant a lot to loads of people. Maybe it's the separating of the man from the music that's the real issue.
Can't wait to see what Viz produce to commemorate this, but will it be better than the elvis/dambusters/tutankhamun clock?
Last night I was wondering if there would be any kind of drugs involved, that could have led to this, and today's Daily Mail is reporting he was addicted to painkillers and that his personal doctor was with him at the time of his cardiac arrest, having given him a huge injection. Obviously that story has to be treated with caution, but doesn't sound too good really.
As for Uri Geller, I feel sorry for him too. He too has an interesting story about his earlier years, before he became a celeb with all that spoon bending, but hey ho.
>Well thats one way to get out of doing all those concerts.
He wasn't going to do all those concerts anyway.
He said he wasn't coming to the UK when he found out the '£2000 for a 10 year old' actually referred to the car scrappage scheme......
Only in America could a poor black boy becomer a rich white woman.
mastiles_fanylion - I also lost my Dad this year in March so please accept my condolences.
Sorry to hear that 🙁 It is an indescribable feeling isn't it?
The single most destroying thing about it is seeing my poor mum flounder. We are trying our best to keep her occupied but she is hurting. 🙁
Sam, from Rio de Janeiro, said: "You were my heart. I love you sing. You make special times but now you in heaven with all the children. Try not feel them up. God can see your hands now."

Noone think it could possibly be the most extravagent publicitiy stunt, and he'll be "reincarnated" for his tour? Its the sort of the thing MJ would like...but perhaps to far out there.
mastiles_fanylion - I have exactly the same with my mum. If I don't pop round and see her every day she starts falling apart. Because I was made redundant at the same time at least I can do this but when as and when she's coping better I'll make sure that there's not been a dependency created.
Exposure to sunshine, moonlight and good times ruled out: now coroners say cause of death was 'boogie'.
I'll make sure that there's not been a dependency created.
Yes it is difficult - fortunately the three of us (her three adult offspring) all live closeby (my kid bro' still lives with her when not working away) and we have just had two beautiful twins which are helping take her mind off things, but you can just see her mind wander off and find dad again every so often 🙁
The single most destroying thing about it is seeing my poor mum flounder
I lost my dad very suddenly two years ago and mum is still getting to grips with it. That first summer I tried to do all the little jobs I could for her which turned out to be a bad thing as she wanted to do loads of stuff herself otherwise she felt useless.
They say time's a great healer but I'm not sure you can fix losing the person you've been married to for 52 years.
Life really sucks sometimes - you try and spend your life with one person but someone is always left alone at the end of it.
Keep an eye on her and try and get her doing stuff (anything really) to help the days pass. We've got three girls under 9 (inc twins) and they mean the world to mum - your kids will be great medicine.
It will get better for you all but it never really goes away.
Thanks sharkbait
Agree with the people who are planning to stay away from the radio and the telly for the next few days. Although I might be interested if they interview Jarvis Cocker. 😆
Apparently, as he was 99% plastic, they are going to melt him down and make Lego bricks so that the children can play with his bits instead!
Wipeout, thats really funny !
What will they do with Glitter when he dies ?
1st Paramedic "His having a heart attack what shall we do?"
2nd Paramedic "Beat it!"
Mods - can we close this now. Not 'cos I'm offended, not cos anything's in bad taste, but cos the jokes are just being recycled.
WTF ......
MTV now has 9 channels doing a ****in MJ tribute.....
How many times can they play Thriller ? as ( imho ) that's the only half decent album he did
I quite like the jokes. Certainly better than listening to people say how great he was, or worse, listening to people say he was not proved to be a kiddy fiddler.
I wonder whether the people who told him to 50 concerts were possibly to blame, 50 acts of an already ill artist would cause a lot off stress leading to a heart attack.
the coraner doesn't know what to put on the jackson death certificate
blame it on the sunshine , blame it on the monlight , blame it on the boogie ...

BEEN DONE ALREADY.
Likewise Sharkbait - thank you for your words.

Erm no! The first album he released was Off The Wall when I was a youthfull 16 years of age. There's not a bad note on that album. An album that never become tiring and is packed with hits.
Quincy Jones made Jackson's productions flawless - QJ THE most successful record producer of all time (check out the facts online).
MJ was a genius writer and performer. I saw him live at Wembley and frankly, the showmanship was dazzling. Highly charismatic! He deserved to be the success that he was due to his talent!
A troubled soul and much maligned in recent years, an emotionally damaged shy person off the stage, very eccentric and stupidly naive in many respects.
I guess if you are too young to have experienced the development of this legend and his music, or just don't like the style of music, or believe everything you read in a news paper, you might not think this is a big deal.
I do agree that the news channels are overdoing it though. BBC News 24 always get "stuck" and exclude all other news. I've complained to them a few times about this. I recommend you do the same. They might then listen.
ok Pook try this one..
mickel jackson has died , to commemorate his musical achievments mcdonalds have released the "mcjackson burger" its a 50 year old piece of aged albino meat shoved between two 8 year old buns..
<sighs> The good 'ole human sick sense of humour!
the mobile phone networks must be rubbing their hand with glee , with the amount of texted beening sent this morning
quincy jones produced blue monday for new order
Come on, everyone knows he's bought a house in the middle of nowhere in Wales and is retiring, this is just a stunt to put the paparazi off the scent so he can open a care centre from abused monkeys without being hounded when he tends to their every need.
cheezy - that's better.

Not sure about O2.
we saw him at wembley in 1986 with kim wylde as support, good , but i thought prince was amazing with Sheila E on drums mmmmm
The real Michael Jackson died a year or so ago. His books and tv programs on beer are brillant.
From a good piece in the Guardian...
Michael Jackson was a hugely talented individual – even more, dare one say it, than Diana. He also led an unquestionably sad and damaged life. But his death shows up, even more clearly than (Jade) Goody's did, that the desire for collective emotion leads only to false emotion.
Prince? I want to **** him when he plays live and Im straight!!
you dont have to read the thread if you dont like the recycled jokes Pook 🙄
[i]Pop star Justin Timberlake, who has been compared to Jackson, [/i]
WTF?
hora - MemberPrince? I want to **** him when he plays live and Im straight!!
Did you mean to type that out loud?
someone should of killed d pedo years ago
Just heard this quote on the radio (paraphrasing)...
As far as events go, it's up there with the assassination of JFK
Errrr, no it is not. Moron.
Errrr, no it is not. Moron.
If your honest with yourself though it is up there in fact probably more important. Everyone knew of michael jackson.
people are mentioning it in the same sentence as 9/11 which whilst being quite insulting to those people, this will receive as much if not more news coverage than that disaster.
