Now take a note of these names. If Lars Ulrich from Metallica, or Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, or hell if Yahtzee (god forbid for any of those) and everyone says 'oh my that's horrible!' then you can call them on that. Or I'll do it. And yes, 50 was hardly old.Susan Arendt said:
If this is true, then that's a shame, he was a credit to the music industry.
... To turn themselves from a handsome black man into an ugly white woman (with regard to looks). I mean, I'm completely straight, but the old, black Michael Jackson was one good looking dude. There must be some real issues going on with him to think the way the surgery made him look was an improvement.Susan Arendt said:
Granted...although should a major news source be wasting its time on this? Or was there not an Obama info-mercial to run? Sorry, had to get that shot it on ABC. I'm not fans of them either at the moment.xmetatr0nx said:
As for TMZ, the fact that an entity exists just to follow people with minimal public exposure around for the dumb masses is a scary indication of where our world is going.
Anyway, I feel sorry for his friends and family, but honestly, he brought himself to this point and I don't have any sympathy for him at all, or is fans that worship him despite his stupidity.
Like others, I'm of two minds here. His eccentricity and purported sexual exploits really hurt his image as well as his potential to have more of an impact than he did. But you can't deny the success he had during his career. It's too bad if he is dead, but TMZ isn't the most, well, legitimate source of news, so I'm waiting for a real news outlet to confirm it without referring to TMZ.
Clearly you underestimate the Internet.pimppeter2 said:
He was the King of Pop - The Greatest Entertainer of all time - admit before you heard the bad stories about him you liked his music.............R.I.P
Interesting, I feel sad because he has great music, but I can't feel much sympathy for a child rapist.
I guess that'll be the writing on your tombstone too then...Aznleeman said:
To me, it seems a bit sad, but also a bit vague
Your logic is undeniable!aww yea said:
... OK, not really, but most news outlets are saying he's alive and in a coma.
As someone else already said:
See?ZeroMachine said:
... wait... that person that said it already looks familiar...
