He started off normal enough, but then became a freak. My response….who gives a flying…
My reaction to Diana’s death was somewhat emotional.

Tagbagger, you are a prodigious, prolific and pugnacious poet!

Cormac, he is so many different things all at once, he will live on as a conflicted popular icon.

Allison, I recall the Mother T and Diana conflict.

Allison 2, poor farah

Cube, the kids will suffer

Homedetoxgirl, he will probably be bigger

Lisa, thnx

Racquel, I’ve written this Friday’s column on Michael’s greatest comeback of all

This is the most insensitive, yet honest comment I can make on the whole situation:

in death, Michael Jackson achieved more of a comeback than he ever could have in life.

RIP King of Pop. Truly, there will never be another. The Internet won’t allow it.

It is such a great loss that a man with great talent like Michael Jackson dies. RIP King of POP.

He was never on my radar musically, but I can’t deny the impact he had on pop culture. Gonna be hungry for some different news very soon though.

I was home wondering what armtwisting was going on in Washington to get legislators to vote in the horrid Cap & Trade bill, but couldn’t get any news other than drivel about Jackson’s drug overdose/cardiac arrest.

I’m sorry for the trail of kids who have been scarred for life.

Or to put it as I heard it:

“I bet Farrah Fawcett is having words with Michael Jackson in heaven for stealing her thunder.”

I’m not sure I’ll always remember where I was, but the one thing similar to the Diana situation, is Farrah Fawcett. Not in anyway comparing her death to Mother Theresa, but overshadowed by another icon still the same.

“we’ll probably remember where we were when we heard the news of the King of Pop’s death.”

I was asleep, just like Bon Scott, Keith Moon, John Bonham, John Lennon, and Randy Rhoades. Though with those guys I will remember fondly.

As a music fan, I only liked about five of his songs this side of The Jackson Five and I really wasn’t into them either. As a parent, I couldn’t stand Jacko and I will never give him the benefit of the doubt on what he did. As a father, I feel really bad for his kids.
