I haven't been around some the death of Michael Jackson but all I keep thinking is...

Posted by Mel Profit (aka Mel Profit) Jun 26 '09, 10:14

I wouldn't have wanted his life. You'd think it could have been happy or at least interesting but there seemed to be a lot of deep, soul crushing pain there.

i can't figure out if he was only overhyped or really a wasted talent - Danedukenuuk Jun 26, 10:18 15
- Wait a minute? You don't like him? nm - Jim Jun 26, 10:20 11

      - I don't want to start something, but frankly I'm more likely to believe that OJ didn't do it. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 10:29 8
        
        i'm not actually sure about this. i could believe that he was so messed up that he just had no sexual impulses at all and was much happier in the - Andie Jun 26, 10:33 6
        
        I agree with this completely. I just keep thinking that he had no idea that what he was doing was wrong. -- nm - campus wifi loves mandy lane Jun 26, 11:44
        
        I used to think he was guilty, but as I've become more cynical, I lean towards a shakedown for cash. nm - Dignan Jun 26, 10:36 4
        
        i think it's a little of both - dug Jun 26, 10:39 3
        
        I have trouble imaging him being that...calculating. nm - Dignan Jun 26, 10:41
        
        Yeah, I'm relatively sure that a couple families baited him. - Reagen Jun 26, 10:41 1
        
        delivering them naked covered in baby oil was the give away. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 10:42
        
        You always gotta be starting something. -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 10:31
- I definitely feel sorry for him, because I think his parenting was so poor, possibly criminal. I also feel strongly he had tons of talent. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 10:20 1
  - Agreed...I heard on the radio that his father used to call him "Big Nose" -- nm - amoxy Jun 26, 10:21
- Maybe someday the public will wake up and buy some of his music. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 10:19

    - ready as I'll ever be.... - znufrii Jun 26, 10:20
  - but he had plenty of pay days -- nm - zork Jun 26, 10:18 7
    - and plenty of foolish investments to fritter it away, and a lifestyle that couldn't be maintained once they stopped coming in. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:20 6
      - exactly. he was living like "Thriller" on an "Invincible" cash flow -- nm - dug Jun 26, 10:22 5
        
        I really think he got to the point where money, in particular, simply wasn't real to him. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 10:31
        
        hard to imagine that anyone could not live on the income that the beatles catalog generates, but people are foolish -- nm - zork Jun 26, 10:24 3
        
        Or the hundreds of acres of California real estate. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 10:24 2
        
        file that under "foolish investments" - znufrii Jun 26, 10:30 1
        
        bull -- nm - zork Jun 26, 10:39
