And that’s fine. There’s really no argument here, because it’s my opinion against yours. You can see through his faults because you loved his music, and I can’t.
Like I said, I’m usually really sympathetic whenever I hear about unexpected death, but just not this one :gotme:
then if it doesn’t effect you, go on and live your daily life and don’t bother reading about it. to me, this is like elvis or james brown passing. just a big influence to my work and a lot of my peers…that’s all.
He was a pedophile. If he didn’t have a music career, it would not have made the news other than a 50 year old pedophile died. I lost all respect for him when you heard news of that as I would any pedophile. I feel bad for his family, etc, but had no respect left for him.
It sounds like he took his own life. He had more than tons of opportunities to make things right. Instead he lived as a lowlife molesting kids. Oh but wait, he had a huge music career, we’ll let him pass.
Funny here how people are defending him in this thread, but are makign fun of Farrah and her dying of cancer.
So if I died of cancer, would you make fun of me? Maybe some of the people making fun of cancer should go to the Ride for Roswell Saturday at UB and point and laugh. BTW, us riding wearing the orange shirts are the survivors.
They never proved he was a pedophile, but a 20 million dollar payoff to one of the boys who was an overnight guess and shared Michael’s bed, and 2 million to another raise more than a few red flags.
Bottom line, for me anyway, I don’t care if he cured cancer, brought peace to the middle east and sold a billion records… the discretions in his personal life carry more weight.
The only thing I disagree with is the part about curing cancer. I’d cut a little more slack for anyone who cures cancer, solely based on the number of lives that person would save.
MJ didn’t cure anything with his music; he was just an entertainer.
