I remember we all gathered at a friend's house to watch the world premiere of the video.

And never having a childhood to grow up doesn't help either...ask any former child TV star...

I guess growing up famous or poor in Gary would not have made a difference. MJ was doomed.

He died 500 million in the whole, sad after making all that money just to lose it all and more.

I've never been 'thrilled' w/ any of his music but it's tough to be sure of any truths in the media and Bruce's account has to be the closest any of us will probably ever come to a report we can trust so considering that, I feel more sorry than I ever would have previously..

The 500 million in the hole thing is hard to believe too...has his ownership of Beatles music etc and other holdings been considered or is that actually his debt before reconciliation/value of his assets?.
And what would he have pissed away his dough and this much added debt on?.

People tend to always make personalities "bigger than life". After all...he was a person just like everyone else.
I've heard people say that everything he did...he did for publicity. Too many generalities...there was no publicity with what he did for Holly and the boy dying at Loma Linda

I will get the stuff out that he sent her. It was very nice of him to do what he did.


Oh, BTW, it wasn't the "We are the world foundation" it was called the HEAL the World Foundation...sorry for the misstep.

Having read his financial problems in regards to his Never Land Ranch Estate, and after learning last night on the evening news that he had a "Last World Tour", it is no wonder he had a tour planned. He needed the $.

I remember when in 1980 me and my oldest brother bought tickets to see the Rolling Stones. Ir was their "last" world tour. YA, RIGHT, lol. If you look at some of these bands they are getting to be in their late 60's. Not sure if Michael would have pulled it off, a come back, I guess we will never know.

Liked his music and dancing but he was one strange duck, and perhaps a child molester. He had paid over 20 million to boys parents in a Civil case that did not go to trial. That young boys testament did not change after several years and many interigations.

RIP Michael Jackson.

He was born a black boy and died an old white woman. Strange man fer sure. Legend in the music biz but the alledged pedophile thing creeps me out. He spent plenty keeping people paid off to stay out of court . In Any case RIP

Funny thing the man was never convicted of anything, but either was O.J. We know for sure he did alot of good, but maybe, just maybe, he did some bad.

Do you think he spent all that money paying people off and buying all of those little special drinks for all his quests??????? I don't know.
What is this country coming to when the House of representatives holds a moment of silence for him.
Remember we still have soildiers dying overseas everyday fighting for this country. Is there a moment of silence every time one of soldiers die??
