Michael Jackson heart attack?
 
This just broke on the news one minute ago. CNN is reporting that Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest.

Despite all of his craziness and wierdness, I wish all the best to him. Hope he's ok.
I am a huge fan of his music (from the 80s anyways).

On one hand, I hate to see anybody have problems. On the other, I can't feel much sympathy for him personally - the guy/gal/alien was probably a pederast who skated out of trouble for years on money and fame. Now he supposedly has little of the first, and more infamy than fame. Does he deserve a heart attack? I'm not God, so it's not for me to say. Does he deserve my concern? Well, the Christian thing to do would be say yes, but I can't bring myself to do it. JMHO.

Yep- wife just told me it's on the news: he is dead. Again, awfully young to die!

I'm sorry for his family and children. I'm sorry for his loyal fans. Otherwise, I will stick with what I've already said. :2

FOX is not reporting a death yet. Despite his habits, it pains me to hear that he may be dead.

Detroit radio has said they confirmed his death. RIP

I have a friend who works in the medical center and he told me Michael Jackson is dead, but they are keeping it quiet for now while they inform the family.

His agent probably called him with a job offer...

Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in 1 day???

Say what you will, but for those of use who grew up in the 80's, that's 2 major icons.

MSNBC and FOX is reporting that he is dead.
Thoughts and prayers for his family.

I think I'll take his advice and pass on this one.

Re: Michael Jackson heart attack?
 
I'm amazed at the amount of slack that the general public has cut for Michael Jackson with all of his transgressions over the years. Lesser public figures would have been crucified for some of the stunts he has pulled. He has been nothing but wierdness and questionable behavior for almost 2 decades and yet he endeared himself in our hearts indelibly with those first few albums such that he is still beloved. That said, he was entirely too young to die and I am sorry for his children and family. Michael, you were a wierd a$$ individual, but it doesn't get any cooler than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En-cHBv7UpA
RIP Thriller!

That was my first thought too Al, but I decided someone should say what many were thinking, so I bit the bullet.

Not posting, and posting that you are "not posting", are redically different things. ;)

I think he's dead...I loved his music growing up...Yeah he had his strange moments but I'm still a fan..

R.I.P.

I believe that's the 3rd celebrity..within the past few days..:(

First Farrah Fawcett, now Michael Jackson, can we get someone to check on Fidel Castro's vitals.

I heard on the radio about a hour ago that Walter Cronkite was in bad shape too, but yet to see anything online concerning him.

The Poet 06-25-2009 04:57 PM

Re: Michael Jackson heart attack?
 
Two in one day? How about three - February 2, 1959, the day the music died. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper, all in the same plane crash.

floydpink 06-25-2009 05:03 PM

Re: Michael Jackson heart attack?
 
Or Oct 20, 1977 when most of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in the plane crash and Artemis Pile ran through the woods?

boonedoggle 06-25-2009 05:06 PM

Re: Michael Jackson heart attack?
 
RIP. Although he was an oddball, still had some songs that would get stuck in my head for days at a time. Here's an oldy but goodie in remembrance:banger

Yup, I just saw MJ died...crazy...only 50! Hopefully one of the less crazy ones will get his kids (not sure which is less crazy). I remember Thriller coming out as a kid...seeing the jackets at GoldCircle...never got one though. Maybe now since I can swing the funds i will get one! Think they sell them in fat man sizes? :rolleyes:

bigloo 06-25-2009 05:14 PM

Re: Michael Jackson heart attack?
 
Yup, instead of letting him go peacefully, this is the start of a media storm. And yes, they will find large amounts of prescription drugs in him... maybe some others. He was a messed up dude but was immensely talented.

RIP King of Pop. Michael was one of my favorite musicians and performers growing up. It is a sad day to see him go, only 50 years old. I always thought it was a shame the way things turned out. May he find peace.

What a sad month for entertainment. David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson. My prayers go out to all their families.
Like I said with Mr. McMahon, this is not the time or place for criticism. Give the family, friends and fans a chance to grieve, before attacking their lifestyles. I can't stand when news organizations report on someone's death and immediately start attacking them posthumous.
Wait until they're buried...I'm just sayin' :tu
