Well, that's number three.

Ed McMahan then Farah Fawcett. Sorry to hear about them, couldn't care less about Jackson. Sorry guys, that's just the way I feel.

He was a major creep and criminally insane esp. in his last two decades, but in his prime he was also one of the most talented performers and pop musicians ever.

A local station just played a few of his older songs ------ great music . Too bad he turned into such a weird, seemingly deranged sickie.

He probably should have been in a strait jacket years ago, but some of the pre-1990-1991 music he put out was very good

The cop in me says one less pervert in the world and it was too bad he didn't suffer the way Farrah Fawcett suffered, but then another side of me (the side that the wife has been working on) says how sad... something about "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?" comes to mind. Way above my paygrade to judge this man. Hopefully he had a chance to get right with God in the waning moments of his life....

I agree with Hillbilly -Farrah Fawcett will always be the hot blonde in the red swimsuit! :-)
It's a real shame she went the way she did.

Ed McMahon was generally harmless and vanilla-flavored. He got a little weird when he
got old, but most of us will do that! :o

Michael Jackson?! The Brits don't call him "Wacko Jacko" for nothing!! The world is better
without another freak job child molester in it. What's sad is that he had such a HUGE talent.
If he didn't waste his time and money on trying to be a white woman and playing with
little boys, it's hard saying where he might have gone......

Never did one piece of music that interested me, I think the "evidence" indicates he was a child molester. In my opinion he was a perversion to society. I am sure many good people died today - I don't think he was one.

I was wondering when he would finally stop moving. I got to thinking about it and I think he's been (un)dead for years...

When I first heard they had found him not breathing, at first I just thought it was a side effect of all the oxygen treatments. Figure he could probably go a week before he needed to inhale.

But then I rememberd he hasn't had to breathe since he was zombified for Thriller. Then the embalming fluid fire fiasco began his perpetual trips to the plastic surgeon to keep the pallid rotting flesh from dripping off... the ever present sunglasses covering the glowing red eyes and the bad wig should have tipped me off earlier...

I am already sick of the incessant news of Michael Jackson on the television. I wonder when it will go away.

Ed McMahon was a different story. If you look at his life he was a real American hero in many ways. He served this nation as a US Marine during WW2 and Korea.I took this from the net regarding his military career.

During World War II, McMahon was a fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps serving as a flight instructor and test pilot. He was a decorated pilot (six Air Medals) and was discharged in 1946, remaining in the reserves.[5]

After college, McMahon returned to active duty. He met his first girlfriend, Jenifer P Smith, on his first tour. He claims that she was the one to motivate him to become a better person. He was sent to Korea in February 1952. He flew unarmed OE-1 Bird Dogs on 85 tactical air control and artillery spotting missions. He remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, retiring with the rank of Colonel in 1966 and was then commissioned as a Brigadier General in the California Air National Guard.

What did Michael Jackson ever do? He was a disturbed individual in many ways.

His death caught my attention because I'm a week older than he is. I've always remembered that since I read it in some magazine.

I didn't hear the autopsy results, but it sounds like he was getting painkillers prescribed by a personal physician. So, in code, that means he was doped up nearly all the time, probably to forget his troubles. I seriously doubt he really needed painkillers for a broken leg from years ago. Probably needed them from looking at "the man in the mirror".

Anyway, that kind of thing is bad for your heart and liver, so it's not unusual to have a failure.

I think it's a shame he let his life go the way he did, he was really on top at one time and could have moved on with dignity, instead of trying to remain a teeny-bopper forever. He was exploited by his parents at a young age and it screwed up his head. The thing with boys was unfortunate, but he had a lot of opportunity with stage mothers shoving their kids at him just to get close to his fame. He should have known better but people like that get isolated and have so many "yes men" around them they think they can do whatever they want and never have to suffer any consequences. But, no matter who you are, if you ruin your heart, it stops.

Not to change the topic, but remember Heath Ledger, the young actor from "The Patriot"? He did the same thing, downing prescription drugs for no particular reason, and OD'd one morning in his $20,000 a month loft. Twenty-eight years old, rich, successful, everything to live for. How stupid. Anna Nicole Smith was another one.

hate to be a downer... but this MJ death story will be around until at least Christmas... Geraldo and others will work this into a "foul play" story... and we will be beat to death with it for years.

I am waiting to see how the EPA wants to dispose of MJ's body. I know you cant burn it... and it should last in a landfill longer than a disposable diaper.
