So Fing what. It's like he's some sort of god. The same thing with all the news about Elvis when he died. The stuff on the news will last at least another 3 weeks at least. There is a lot more important things going on in the world than what happened to Jackson. Besides he was one wacked out dude. White man wantabe and child stalker. Well he did have talent but.....

For me he had to be seen to be enjoyed. His music was good but not as good as watching him dance. I was a kid with a newly released betamax in 1983 when I recorded the Thriller special in tv and I was 10 years old I found myself looking for the strings that aided MJ to pull the moonwalk. Eventually I was able to do the moonwalk myself. And as I grew out of it, I became selective as I was going to college and today. But I find myself sad by MJ's death because he was the soundtrack of many moments in my life growing up. I loved Beat it, Thriller and Billie Jean but I loved the most is the dance, the choreography. The music is just another 80's tune with some memorable qualities but you've got to see the whole thing to really experience it. I'll never dance like I did in the 80's and I don't think there will be another generation as lucky as mine to witness moments like this in pop culture. I never bought an album of Michael Jackson.

Yes, those are different entities J5 = Motown years Jacksons = Post Motown but still with his brothers Michael Jackson = Off The Wall Forward Let's not forget this family also gave us Ms Jackson if you're nasty. I'll miss the excitement I felt as a child and an adult when, for better or worse, he made an appearance. When I heard of him leaving this world, I felt like I lost a life long friend. If there's an afterworld, I hope he's found the peace in death he never had in life. I know the above sentiment will be mocked by some here but they can kiss my bountiful Black ass.

Yes, those are different entities

J5 = Motown years
Jacksons = Post Motown but still with his brothers
Michael Jackson = Off The Wall Forward

Let’s not forget this family also gave us Ms Jackson if you’re nasty.
