HAMSTERS & HEROIN: Not all junkies are purse-snatching grandmother-killing psychos. I'm keeping this blog to bear witness to that fact.

Here was a very sad and tortured figure for all his talent and wealth. I, too, hope he is at peace now.
When I first heard I actually assumed it was suicide...
I am also thinking drugs. Maybe he overdosed on purpose. Sometimes the pressure about a tour is just too much. Very sad whatever the cause.
Another thing I considered saying, but held back on (for sake of brevity) was something that does annoy me about Michael Jackson. For all his sposedly saintly qualities he seems a dishonest man and this exemplifies it ~ recently, after cancelling the first precious 3 or 4 of those 50 shows, that people must have felt so privileged to get tickets for ~ he claimed management had duped him and that he'd "thought he was signing up only for a couple of weeks" ~ I mean what poppycock.
Another example of his lying was when he got arrested the 2nd time over alleged child abuse he claimed police had roughed him up on the way. Only they were able to produce an in-car recording of him calmly confirming he was "fine"...
... I don't know why that irritates me so much, but it does. Maybe, as I say it's the Jesus-posturing/etc. Like the Wizard of Oz, the human man behind it all is always going to be slightly disappointing...
I have the MAJOR SADS today over this, Gleddy.
Love to you,

Those poor kids he left behind! I felt sorry for them while he was alive, now even more so. Will they have ANY money at all to inherit? If not I really pity them ~ brought up in a bubble, suddenly to have to fend for themselves in the real world. Who will look after them?
As sad as it is to say, I think he's more at peace now than he's ever been.
I also suspected drugs when I first heard something happened to him, and I never even heard about the drug abuse. Just figured it likely, given his life. You can't live and experience all he did without drugs, can you?
It's really sad...
He was a talent that is for sure. It's must be tough living your life under intense public scrutiny and his parents pushed him there. The thing that strikes me as odd here is that this is a man that was accused not once but two times of child molestation and still we deify him. Whether he is guilty of it or not isn't the point. Point being, if your next door neighbour was accused of it and then he or she passed away, how would you react?
Intersting. Pop culture always is.
I'm interested in seeing what the toxicology reports say.. He had a ton of talent. Just not the mentality (maybe thats the wrong word) to back it up..
I heard about his dead from my son who called me we are in Italy at the Garda lake on holidays.
I can help you with German when I am back, here my internet time is very limited !
It's so sad that he died so young ! I have seen him life in 1988
Jaleesa: the painkiller addiction was said to have all started with the terrible burns he suffered filming that Pepsi advert in 1983
Reeny: "all is forgiven"... last night on a retrospective they played the Black or White video which starts off with Macauley Culkin... something that never would have got played last week for the paedophilia "connexions" viewers might have drawn...
Aimee: they say that report could be 6 weeks coming! Talk about drawing something out!!
Gattina: thanks very much! I could do with as much help as I can get with my German!
