I am beginning to feel like my blog is reading like the celebrity obituaries. Three icons in three days, they say everything comes in sets of three and now, once again, the old wives tale rings true. First, a great entertainer, Ed McMahon passes away, then a great movie star, Farrah Fawcett, and now a great musician, Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson, at the young age of 50, died today at 2:26 pm after being rushed to the UCLA medical center after suffering cardiac arrest. Michael arrived at the hospital unresponsive, never to regain conscious again prior to passing. Although there is no indication of any foul play and family members stated that Michael had collapsed earlier in the day requiring the call to 911, due to Jackson’s high profile lifestyle, investigators still plan on interviewing family members and friends just to cover all bases as well as a full autopsy has been ordered.
Regardless of Michael Jackson's eccentric lifestyle (e.g. Neverland, extensive plastic surgeries, etc.), sordid stories of his life (e.g. child molestation accusations)that one will never really know what was actually true or not, Michael Jackson was the king of Pop Music. One may not have cared for the man, however everyone has to admit the man had talent and a lot of it! Michael Jackson brought a lot to the music industry. Regardless of your feelings towards him, he will not be forgotten. You can about bet though there will be many rumors and speculations, and all kinds of scandals regarding Michael Jackson's demise and his life. Nonetheless, I wish you peace Michael.
Rest in peace Michael, Farrah and Ed.

My Mom always told me that if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all. I have nothing to say.
ReplyDeleteI've been following all the hype on TV about Michael Jackson's kids. I wonder where they will end up. What kid in his right mind would ever want to leave Neverland? It's a sad state of affairs.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if any one knows how many plastic surgery procedure Michael had. I also have to wonder if he was ever reached the point where he was satisfied with the way he looked. It's a shame, he was such a cute kid/teen.
ReplyDeleteI just saw a rag at the grocery store today and there was a picture of Michael on the cover looking pretty bad. I don't know why people have to get off on other people's trouble.
