He saved me and showed why I have to be a good person, why I have to love children

It seems to me that Obama doesn't really love MJ.


Back in 1997, it was the public’s anger, felt through the web, through the media and the newspapers that made the Queen revise her stance and get out and address the nation’s feelings about Diana's death.
We must do the same with our president now.
It’s up to us

The first thing that went through my mind was the episode of It's Always Sunny ("Charlie Gets Molested") where Mac tries to figure out why his middle school gym teacher didn't molest him.

I think the rift was that MJ forgot Corey existed and Corey was upset about it.

James Howard Kunstler mauls the corpse. And the metaphor:

Like the USA, Michael Jackson was a has-been. He hadn't recorded a song worth listening to in over two decades. He had done almost nothing but spin his wheels, hop around the globe from one place to another at enormous expense, and make himself available for award ceremonies to stoke his ego (and give advertisers a reason to promote some televised award show). He existed strictly on image, an anorectic figure nourished by moonbeams of attention, famous for saying that he loved his worshippers when the truth was he merely sucked the life out of them. In his last years, he even looked a bit like Nosferatu, the personification of the un-dead, and his fascination with ghouls was the basis for his biggest hit way back in the last century. A zombie nation deserves a zombie mascot.

He was a poseur, vamping in weird military outfits as though he were a five-star general in the Honduran army, or a character from a melodrama by the reprobate Jean Genet. He once materialized during halftime at the Superbowl in a shower of sparks, thrilling the multitudes while grabbing and stroking his sex organs, as though that was a heroic activity -- and indeed the nation seemed to emulate him as its culture became dedicated more and more to acting out masturbation fantasies. America was a fat man jerking off on the sofa watching a vampire of no particular sex vogue deliriously on the boob tube.
...
When he dropped dead last week, the nation's morbidly maudlin response suggested a cover story for the relief of being rid of him and all the embarrassment he provoked. One CNN reporter called him a genius the equal of Mozart. That's a little like calling Rachel Maddow the reincarnation of Eleanor Roosevelt. A nation addicted to lying to itself tells itself fairy tales instead of facing a pathology report. Yet, like Michael Jackson, the undertone of horror story still pulses darkly in the background. The little boy who grew up to be the simulation of a girl was really a werewolf. The nation that defeated manifest evil in World War Two woke up one day years later to find itself stripped of its manhood, mentally enslaved to cheap entertainments, and hostage to its own grandiosity. Maybe in grieving so exorbitantly over this freak America is grieving for itself. All the loose talk about "love" from the media and the fans gives off the odor of self-love. America is "the man in the mirror," the gigantic, floundering Narcissus, sailing into the stormy seas of history.

Did anyone else catch the short little interview at a red carpet event with Michael's father, Joe Jackson? I'm paraphrasing here, but it went something like this:

A CNN reporter: So how are you and the family holding up right now?
Joe: I'm great! The family is doing fine.
Reporter: It must be a real tough time for you all right now.
Joe: Yeah, and?..... [long awkward pause] Yeah, it's real tough, we lost our biggest superstar

Yeah, Joe, and you lost your son. It went on like this, like they were interviewing a person on the street about it who wasn't even really a fan. It was truly bizarre.
How dare you interrupt my Lime Rickey!

More fun from the mjjcommunity board:

king of pop have fun dancing for the King of Kings in heaven, and I pray that when you look down from your cloud and see us enjoying your gifts, we all make you smile. I hope your desire to have the world be healed will come true one day and I love you.


Man, I'm obviously a religious guy, but I really hope that when I die, I don't open my eyes to the image of Michael Jackson dancing in front of a clapping-along Jesus.

I have horrible images of myself hurting the doctor. It scares me

I don't think that'll be heaven... but which of Dante's rings, not quite sure.

Warren Zevon's "Porcelain Monkey" came on my shuffle this morning. It's about Elvis but it's eerie how with a few changes it could be about Michael Jackson.

lots of thread deletions going on at that site

they wont even allow a discussion that Michael is not the biological father of the kids.
