looks like it's one of those days -- nm - 'lia Jun 25, 14:49 1
- yep, one of those days when two icons, not terribly old both die... -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 14:50
are people shocked by this? he's 50 and has been having health problems for many years, no? -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 14:48 23
- I'm 50 -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 14:52 1
  - my father is 57, but he (and hopefully you) werent addicted to various painkillers for over a decade -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 15:03
- Yeah, the guy hasn't been in the news often recently, is young really and is a superstar on par with very few others in the history of our culture. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 14:50 8
  - Maybe it's because I'm not old enough, but what about MJ made him the star nobody else could be? Why him? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 14:51 7
    - He was Justin Timberlake x 20 in his day. nm - Dignan Jun 25, 14:55
    - he was pop music long before JT and Britney and NKOTB, et al - Guy Jun 25, 14:54
    - He had a great voice, could write catchy pop lyrics, and could dance like noone else. - TWuG Jun 25, 14:53
    - Also, Quincy Jones, his producer and collaborator, helped immensely during key years -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 14:53
    - Amazingly talented; a fact that's been overshadowed significantly by his behaviors. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 14:52
    - he was insanely talented. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 14:52 1
      - When Thriller came out, he was on top and NOBODY was anywhere near to him - amoxy Jun 25, 14:56
- There are about a million people in this country who are 50 with health problems, Guy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 14:50
- Sure, it's unexpected. Although Elvis was only 42, which always surprises me. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 14:50
- It's always shocking when an icon dies. nm - Dignan Jun 25, 14:49 9
  - why shocking? sad, i understand, but the surprise i dont - Guy Jun 25, 14:51 8
    - I feel nothing for the guy, but it is without a doubt shocking. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 14:54
    - Oh, Christ. nm - Dignan Jun 25, 14:52 1
      - yeah, that one was a shock. -- nm - Max Jun 25, 14:53
    - you aren't shocked when a 50 year old dies suddenly of a heart attack? -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 14:52 4
      - my stepdad had his transplant in his late 30's and died of a heart attack 53 - 'lia Jun 25, 15:00
      - again, not when he started having some serious health problems as far back as the early 90s -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 14:55 1
        
        a decade of drug addictions, weight fluctuations and multiple plastic surgeries can take toll on a person -- nm - Guy Jun 25, 14:59
      - that used to be common but not for a couple of generations -- nm - zork Jun 25, 14:55
holy shit -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 14:48
motherfucker. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 25, 14:47 2
- Whoa. mara's just the messenger. (nm) - musubi Jun 25, 14:48 1
  - Heh! -- nm - mara Jun 25, 14:50
I should add that BNO sometimes publishes unsubstantiated news. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 14:47 1
- TMZ is reporting same. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 14:49
I'm sad. - CovingtonCat Jun 25, 14:47
tmz is reporting it too. he was 50 -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 25, 14:47 1

Wow. -- nm - pmb Jun 25, 14:45

  - That read ST?!?! - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 14:49 2
    - Your personal mileage will of course vary. - Reagen Jun 25, 14:51 1
      - Fair enough. - Dr.Vermin Jun 25, 14:55
  - Yeah, I'm going to stop trying to make jokes about it. Blerg. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 14:47
  - i was just thinking that. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 14:47
- ... that was in extremely poor taste. I apologize. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 14:45 2
  - That is sad, and I wish I could take back my post down below -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 14:46 1
