I say screw Jackson, he was an idiot. If you have that much talent how could you be that stupid? I submit that, while a victim of poor handlers, he was a moron. I'm sorry, but this guy was a total jerk. Look at the history of these uneducated hillbillies who were exploited by the industry types; Elvis Presely, Rick James, Chuck Berry, this chick Spears, James Brown...I could go on and on if I thought about it long enough. And that's just musicians....forget about actors and stuff.....I have no sympathy for that kind of lunacy...you have everything at your door step and you are so ****ed up that you can't see it? I wish I were that screwed up I reckon.
The only thing I can think is the ego that drives you to be that kind of talent also allows you feel that you can't (or don't) need to deal with the day to day issues that the rest of us do...it always catches up with these
clowns....always. How come Mick Jagger or Sting or Paul McCartney or
Don Henely or whatever don't experience these pitfalls? hmmmmm

I doubt he was a pedophile, he was just a lost soul and misunderstood. Not to mention his endless fight with numerous health problems. It is sad that he had to die so young, and right before his 50 concert return in London....nearly a million people bought tickets to those concerts that were supposed to begin next month or something. He was a musical genius and forever changed the face of music.

Another person died recently too, Ed Mcmahon. He died yesterday at age 86....I didn't even see a news article about it....kinda sad....for someone that famous his death just got passed right over by the media.

I suppose, well, he's locked up now isn't he? Yeah, both a tragic figure and an *******/jerkoff at the same time....a clear case of; money doesn't buy happiness. Funny how some of those old cliches turn true...maybe that's why they exist....it's not by accident these phrases were coined.....

In his case his money bought him out of prison time. Genius or not, playing with little boys is SICK.

no, Mikey Jackson was so completly screwed up (as cited above) that this is the best thing for him personally. I can't believe the undoing of these concerts in Europe that now is. The refunds, the lawsuits, the retrieval of up front money, the insurance premiums that will called in...unbelievable..this guy was a jerk on so many levels that it's almost
incomprehensible to me....forget about the kids, the properties, the possesions...this will go on for years....it's Old Country Buffet for the bloodsucking lawyers...they shall feast for 10 years upon this one.....

Since he was pretty much broke, there's not really much money to be sued for or had....is there??

And nobody cares that poor Ed McMahon died?
