I was just thinking that, but at the same time Michael Jackson jokes kind of got old a while ago.

I just posted this in the Pop/Michael Jackson thread...didn't realize there was this thread about his death.

RIP Michael Jackson. You may have turned into a weirdo and put out some less-than-listenable material at some point, but you were undoubtedly a pop icon and put out some true classics in your prime. Your music was among the first I remember liking as a child.

As mentioned by someone else, I also witnessed the world premiere of the BAD video on MTV, as well as Black & White and probably some others. This was already past his prime, but it was still a big deal. I was alive for some of the better ones like Billie Jean and Thriller but don't remember the premieres.

Anyway, this is quite shocking news.

Sick minded jokes are always the best but I dont think he deserves to be mocked after his death, he deserves a lot of respect in the music industry. Just wait till Noel Gallagher dies or something, then we can mock him even more

.

Also age 50 is pretty young in terms of dying.

i really cannot believe this. It's one of those things that you just in no way, expect to happen. WOW, and all these people are making jokes, you are pathetic. Grow the fck up.

Mirrorball95 · 06-25-2009, 05:15 PM

Yeah thats the way I felt when I saw it on the tv. Totally shocked, just totally out of the blue. Also I wasnt making jokes about his death, I have made it clear that I respect him as an artist.

It is pretty weird knowing MJ is gone. I felt less weird when both my grandfathers died.
Heart attack? Weird.

I would have been less surprised if he died of listening to his own music.
(That one's for you, Darkest Hour.)
