No matter what we thought of him in his last years...he was still the pop culture icon of the 1980s and early 1990s.

At one point I've had Thriller on LP, cassette x2 and CD. I still remember being a sophomore in high school gathering in the current events teacher's classroom because he was letting everyone watch the Thriller video premier on MTV (back when they showed videos)

Today it's virtually impossible to think about Michael Jackson without thinking about him being a potential pedophile. Despite that, I can't help but feel a sadness upon hearing of his passing.

Michael Jackson defined pop culture and music for an entire generation.

As one right-leaning commentator has written on her website, "he was a musical genius in his early days before he succumbed to Hollyweird and that's what I'll choose to remember."

May he finally rest in peace.

He was a victim of the self-hating crap our white society forced upon him.
Or he was just a talented nut.
Take your pick.

To me, he died after deciding to make himself 'whiter'.

Ed Mcmahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in less than 3 days. Three icons from my youth.

I enjoyed Thrilla zombies back in 84. Does that make me gay?

Icons come. Icons go. IMHO- Michael Jackson had become a joke. One fucked-up dude who hated himself for being black and male (looks like he was aiming at being a Diana Ross impersonator) and couldn't quite get himself to admit he was a gay pedophile. I never really could get into his music either.

----------------------
We should have strapped him into a glider, filled it nose heavy w/ explosives, and dropped his Allah lovin' ass into a large, empty field. After which, release wild boars into the area so they could make good use of his remains. Now THAT's justice.- rappy

Yeah, that's what Sheikh Issa said. Seems you both have a lot in common.- signy

Personally, I don't wish death on anybody and I have condolences for those close to him. He was a great musician of his day, but let's face it, the guy stayed outta jail coz he paid people off. Even during his trial he was playing up like it was a game. He was a freaky nut who shoulda been in jail when he karked it.I feel very little sympathy for him. When the coroner opens him up they might even find a black man!!!
