can't believe he was gone

I believe it, I'm not stunned or distressed about it in the same way that I would be if, say, Paul McCartney suddenly died. Or even Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Jane Seymour, or Sean Connery, or Tiger Woods, or Cadel Evans, or George Lucas, or Cate Blanchett, ... I was more affected by the deaths of Gregory Peck, Payne Stewart and particularly Don Bradman and George Harrison. Michael Jackson just never did it for me.

Speaking of deaths, the most under-reported death of 2008? Michael Crichton. He gave more to the world than Michael Jackson and without the insanity.

A year ago everyone called him a freak and a child molester. Now that he's dead we all like him again.. funny that.

Well I still utterly detest the damned freak...

We? We????

Of course this means that the Twitter-led Iranian Counter-Revolution will drop down the news schedule a couple of dozen places while the "Famous Person Has Died, Everyone Dies, I'm Going to Die, Oh Noes! I'm Devastated by the Death of Famous Person" & "It's a Shame But Wasn't He a Just a Bit Weird" compete to dominate the cultural Zeitgeist for the next fortnight.

Yesterday was the day of deaths...

I'm actually more upset that Farah Fawcett died. Michael Jackson died sometime around '95, this thing that lived on was just some sort of demon spawn inhabiting a similar body.

Celebrities always die in threes. I'm waiting for the third body...

IT'S GONNA BE ARNOLD!

In Belgium died a celebrity...

Is he/she as famous as farrah fawcett and Michael Jackson?

Nah... only in Belgium. And it was suicide.

Hm... I don't think that counts.

ARNOLD!

He'll be back, though...

Gman Russell wrote:Hm... I don't think that counts.

But she was young. 38 years.

In Belgium... does 38 years old count as being young?

Actually there was a third. Ed McMahon died June 23rd. That was only 2 days before M.J. and Farrah Fawcett.

I mourn for a screwed-up human being.

Only in the second case. I recall he paid $20 million on an out of court settlement with the first.

Oh, wow, well there we go. ZThree famous deaths in a row.

JACKSON - via text SMS, a nation mourns

Out of Respect McDonalds has released the McJackson Burger: Fifty year old meat between ten year old buns

"Jackson worked with the 'make a wish foundation' for years waiting for the one kid that wished not to die a virgin"

Rumour has it Michael Jackson has had a heart attack, but don't believe it - He was down in the children's ward having a stroke

Jane Seymour? Did she heal you through the power of TV?
