Michael Jackson Dead

I always thought of Jackson as immortal, in a way. Or at least the type of guy that'd be banging boys well into his 90s.

Well, good night, MJ. May you find peace at last.

But of course, he's going to be hanging out with Elvis and Jim Morrison somewhere in Africa. Princess Di will come down for tea once in a blue moon.

Elvis isn't in Africa! He's working at a gas station in Tennessee. My cousin saw him just last week. :D

Also, lol! Jackson news at 'Oh No They Didn't' apparently broke LJ.

I heard this on the radio earlier today and it really shocked me. Man, dead at 50. That's so young. Then again, he's lived a long life in his career.

Mainly we're surprised because he looks like a plastic doll now.

He was the sort of celebrity I could never imagine would die. So it goes, I guess.

On a selfish note, I'm sort of mad that he broke LJ by dying; I wants me my ontd_startrek back.

I'm having Heath Ledger syndrome with this death. I checked like, 3290753290750 different ews sites, AND stations on TV, and it still seems fake, like a joke.

My facebook status: He's not dead, you guys! He'll just come back as Michael the White! He was halfway there already.

We'll know at least the preliminary COD tomorrow - LA County Coroner expects to have the autopsy done and results out by sometime Friday afternoon.

My parents always leave the tv on when they go in the mornings. Nice way to wake up - to news Michael Jackson suddenly died.

That's PRICELESS.

I was listening to Bad and Thriller just last week. Some of my favorite albums.
RIP Michael.

Ahem

And he also carved up his body in so many ways. I'm really surprised he lasted as long as he did.

Oh God this is awful but I can't stop laughing

Well shit, he's the same age as me. One of the first pop groups I liked was The Jackson Five (which meant I got a lot of flack from Osmond fangirls). He was just so much better of a singer than Donny. Plus, he was cute.

I feel for his family. No parent should ever have to bury a child.

I don't get it...

Could this be a suicide? I think there might be drugs that can cause heart failure. Also, I wonder how long it will be before his kids start writing their tell-alls.
Rabid Badger, you're 50? I thought you were younger.

That's Pedobear. But I thought Pedobear just liked girls..?

I agree with Ceres; I always thought of MJ as immortal.

The same way I thought Pavarotti was immortal.

It's not fair.

You're both wrong! He's hanging out with JFK in Texas!

Oh, you're right.

Fixed.

I prefer this one myself.

I have no need to fear my second childhood because I never grew out of my first. :whisper:

Link doesn't work.

For nostalgia's sake.

All of this reminds me of my Japanese friend trying to teach me the thriller dance, and her utter confusion as to why he's not popular in America any more.
