Crazy.. Despite the shit storm surrounding Jacko he was the best of the best for a long time. Now does this mean Paul Mcarteny gets the rights to The Beatles back?
Remember the Jackson Five?
MJ was still normal back then. Fame and fortune turned him into a freak, too bad.
metalman.
Farrah Fawcett put up one hell of a fight.
Very sad indeed.
Micheal Jackson was so handicapped by his own devils that he never really had much of a real life outside of his head.
A great talent lost at a very young age.
Betcha MJ wants his body mummified or cryogenically frozen. Ya heard it here first!
Farrah Fawcett. Ed McMahon and now Mike Jackson. Who says most things come in threes? I do.
Wow, famous people die and we're supposed to care.
He is now getting judged by God Almighty. I believe he made most of his decisions based on the world and what we might think..Trying to entertain us, But now its him who is affected and being judged on those decisions.Not us..The world lives on... He should have taken a different path in life, for his own good, and focused less on entertaining the world. His money and riches and clothing and valuables, all stays behind, the only thing he takes with him is his soul...his heart, who he was as a person. He should have spent less time trying to please the world, and more time trying to please GOD.. Then again thats something that most of us should realize. We are all going to die, we all have an eternal destination. we all have an invisable number. His number was called today.. Every body lives on like its never going to happen to them..But you, yes even YOU have a number, and everyday is closer to that number than every before.. Its time we stop trying to please the world and start trying to please God. while you still can. RIP Michael Jackson xo
"Every body lives on like its never going to happen to them"

..... and that is probably one of the key characteristics of humans, that even though we KNOW we will die, we do not dwell on that and continue on as if it will never happen ...



Am a huge fan. Now this is a man that will be well missed by me. R.I.P Mike
Mike was a loser.

Farrah was a total babe I had the hots for... lol.

I read about a 16-year old the other day that hasn't aged since she was born... still a baby 16-years later with no signs of aging and scientists figure she may be the key to death and life... figure if they can find the gene that causes her strange condition then maybe they can turn off the aging process.....
Betcha Mikey's bros are gonna have their hearts given the once over by their doctors now. It might run in the family. But then again, whacha gonna do about it, eh? Dying at 50 sucks! No matter who you are!

She is aging. I relate very much to the third comment below that linked page:

"THIS STORY IS MISLEADING AT BEST. This child IS aging, but in a discordinated manner. She is an abnormality or a group of abnormalities which doctors are at a loss to explain; this doesn't and should translate into a freak show that then allows the media to proclaim the "Girl Who Does Not Age". Is this actual reporting or gossip junk like we see on TMZ and other sites?"
The consensus seems to be: MJ was a freak and Farrah was a babe. Works for me but I really don't give a hoot.
It's "Michael".
Like MJ or not like MJ, it really does not matter to me. That is personal preference.

However, the ignorance of some, for some reason or other does matter to me. Make your decisions on information not prejudices. For those of you who invoke the name of God here to put MJ down, think what your God would say to you about prejudice.

MJ had a skin disorder called Vitiligo - depigmentation of skin. he was also diagnosed with Lupus. Normally it occurs in patches wherever it takes hold. When you look at older candid pictures of MJ, you can see the patches. Eventually he decided to get get the rest of his skin depigmented. The site below explains the disorder and the various treatment options.

Also, notice that someone with the disorder should be staying out of the sun or covering up.

It also sounds like it is not exactly a comfortable living situation with a lot of itching, etc. That would explain pain killer drugs and possible eventual addiction to them.

Oh, Thank you, I did not know that. i take back my comments.

I knew he went through a process of depigmentation. But did not know the rest of the story behind it.

Knew he was having problems with having to take too many prscription drugs, i suppose his body just said no more.
