[b]9/11[/b] The day before, I had just taken my dad to his first game at PBS and was trying to sleep a long day off. My wife (GF at time) woke me up and said a plane had hit the twin towers. I went back to sleep thinking it was a small plane and not a big deal. Then she came in and said that a 2nd plane hit the other tower. So I finally get out of bed and just about shit my self when a F-16 breaks the sound barrier over my house!! Get outside and everyone on my street is outside thinking a plane went down and my wife in the house crying and holding my 8 month old little girl. [b]Michael Jackson[/b] Its kind of strange but I was watching the weather channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His personal life and now between him and God.....[/quote] You know, when I first read the news that he died I thought to myself "Wow, this is going to be as big as when Elvis died." I'm seeing now that it's not even close. It's a big deal all over the place but not at the magnitude that Elvis was so I'm going to put Elvis as the greatest entertainer in history. MULLY there has only been snippets about MJ on the news here in Japan. My Japanese friends tell me that when Elvis died it was "all Elvis all day" Elvis wins!..........but I'm guessing there will be more Michael on TV here later on tonight and tomorrow. The news hit here about 7:00am so they didn't have time to work things up. We'll see tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalBacker Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 He is (was) a few months older than me, so this stuff was my first exposure to him. These are versions where just his voice (and his brother a little) is isolated. He was an amazing prodigy. Then, nigga lost his damn mind. (if that offended you, lighten up or fuck off...It's ok, I'm one third Indian) It would be impossible to be MJ and be normal. However, he made no attempt to be normal. He relished being abnormal, any way you look at it. Who's to say how any of us would react if we were in his situation though. I feel sorry for big celebrities who can't go out in public, but in reality, they have the power to end it, at least most of it. They become addicted to the fame though. Of course John Lennon wrote this: [quote][i][size=1]People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry I'm just sitting here doing time I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go I just had to let it go I just had to let it go [/size][/i][/quote] and he still got shot. :quiver: That's why I decided not to become rich and famous. You become a prisoner in a sense. I don't know. This won't be one of those "days that I remember" for me. He just got too weird, even if you're one of the few who doesn't think he probably molested children. Take all of those allegations away as if they'd never happened. [b]He still turned himself into a white woman !!![/b] Fucker was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I can't make myself care. I thought the dude was a weirdo pedophile a long time ago and wrote him off then. It didn't help his cause that he hadn't had a hit record in over a decade. I've always remembered him as the "Off The Wall" Michael, right when he was breaking out and I was a kid. After Thriller, the rest was, well, pretty crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randle P McMurphy Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 [quote name='Fulcher_33' post='782356' date='Jun 25 2009, 09:30 PM']I think this is going to be one of those "Do you remember where you were when you heard....." moments in our lives. Every generation has at least one moment when people can remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. I think for our parents (over 60) the Kennedy assassination is one. Then we have the day Elvis died and the Space Shuttle exploding. I honestly believe the Michael Jackson news will be right up there with them. For me, I was at my grandma's house laying on the floor with a coloring book. My aunt and uncle came rushing into the house from the car screaming "Turn on the TV, Elvis died". I can see that as plain as if it happened yesterday. As for the space shuttle, I was at school in shop class. Oddly enough our music teacher was on the short list as one of the teachers to go up in the shuttle so we had the TV going in all the classrooms. I don't think I'll forget that I came into work this morning and saw "Jacko Dead" on this forum. When I first saw it I was like "Who's Jacko?" and immediately thought of Nicholson. My jaw hit the fucking floor when I saw it was Michael. Like I said, I was never a really big fan of his but damn, this is a shocker. MULLY[/quote] I think I was riding in the car with my dad and they had said something about Elvis dying on the radio. The Challenger blowing up, my brother and I were standing in my parents front yard watching it happen right before our eyes. We lived in Indian Harbor Beach at the time which is about 30 miles south of the Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|kennethmw| Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 For those of us who loved Michael the entertainer, yesterday was a bad day. For those of us that loved Michael the humanitarian, yesterday was a bad day. I will admit, Michael became very eccentric in his later years, but I think a lot of people that get into the spotlight do, and Michael's spotlight may have been the brightest in history. Many of you will think of "Beat It" or "Thriller", but I remember "ABC", and the Superbowl halftime performance that had a higher rating than the game itself. I also remember "We Are The World". This is the guy I wanted to be as a performer, the kid I imitated until I realized I would never scale those heights. So thank you, Michael, and may you be on the stage for the Lord from now on!!

The day John Lennon was shot will stick in my head a lot longer than MJ passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
