Michael Jackson Dies

[DoubleEagle]

he's still behind the beatles and elvis (for now), not anything to complain about by any means.

as an aside, at the time of his death he still owned half the beatles catalog (he sold the other half to sony in '95 when their publishing businesses merged). jackson has supposedly left his half to paul in his will.

Like Paul needs it ! Wonder who Paul will leave it to .

My dad was trying to score tix for Fenway ... Until he realized that the infield (read: non slapback echo half to death) seats were like $500 to see Sir Paul

Yeow!

I think I feel the same about MJ's death as Nixon felt about John Lennon's passing.

next thing you guys will tell me that elvis is dead.......

regardless of what anyone on the dml thinks, the guy was a LEGEND and his music was the soundtrack of my younger years and the reason why I love music to the extent that I do. regardless of his fame this was a man that died very young and left behind 3 children. such a sad sad day... I wont be able to sleep tonight. MTV is playing all of his videos thru the night. cheers to a true genius and a legend of our time, thank you and may you rip.

I'm at the opposite spectrum. I always hated his music and think he severely damaged music as an art through the successful commercialization of music videos. Before MJ, MTV was a novelty. He legitimized a medium that panders to the lowest common denominator far more than even commercial radio had. He certainly revolutionized the industry, but I don't think that was a good thing.

He's severely socially damaged and (if I actually cared about this sort of stuff) I'd worry about his ability to parent children with long standing patterns of accusations of sexual abuse of children. He was a man-child himself having built an amusement park on his compound named after the place in the Peter Pan books where boys never grow up.

I'm only sad the news media is acting like a real king died.

For all the people out there that think he was such a musical genius I hate to break it to you, but like most musicians he didn't write that much of his music. He only wrote four of the songs on Thriller according to wiki. He could sing, I'll give you that.  But it takes an army to make music and he sure didn't do it himself.
