When 'Off the Wall' came out, it was ahead of its time. I remember having the album stuck to my wall. Then Thriller came out and it was the beginning of a new era. Those who were old enough to have been there remember the impact of it was beyond anything that had come before - or since.

Remember the time..........

This is unconfirmed, but there are reports that actor Jeff Goldblum has also died while filming in New Zealand :shock:

I hope it's not true :huh:

He didn't die -- just turned into a fly...

 

[holo88]

does it really matter? since 5:00 est, im guessing over 1000 people have died.
celebrities lives, are in no way shape, or form, more important than anyone else.
and I dont understand why people seem to think so.

:roflmao:

No one said they were more important than another. Of course they aren't, people die all over the place all the time. Just sometimes some may have had positive influences/memories from watching/seeing/hearing widely known celebrities growing up that they may have some sort of connections to, and when they're gone, they're missed.

Or something like that. But yeah, everyone's important, and when anyone dies abruptly, it's sad all the same, IMO.

Great news

He may have been able to escape justice, but he couldn't escape the reaper.

LOL, I will get you all in the end.

I just got done discussing something very similar. The only reason that celebrities get spoken about so much after death is because they are popular and well known, and as you said some had positive influences.

LOL, I will get you all in the end.

Lol... If you ever show up at my door, don't expect a warm welcome.

Though if you spare me I'm sure you'll get a cookie (or two! )

One thing I'm sure won't be missed was his face.

Goodbye Michael

You will always be N.1,THE LEGEND

I've received three different text messages with jokes related to his death today. They were pretty funny, but you could at least wait a day after someone dies to start making jokes about them dieing.


Edit:

Interesting...
Bing reports not one hit on "Jeff Goldblum dies in New Zealand"
Google reports lots!
If indeed it turns out to be false, I'd say +1 for Bing.
On the other hand.....

I'd say that's a +1 for Google since it found the pages soon after their creation. I seriously doubt Bing managed to tell that he didn't die and blocked the pages from appearing in the search results, nor would I want to use a search engine that blocks things I don't tell it to.

HAHA, was wondering when you'll take credit

R.I.P Michael Jackson Cant belive it.

 

[XGUNTHERC]

i think its sad and terrible.. the fact that there is thousands of people trashing him and saying crude jokes. yes he might have made some bad desisions. but common. can you imagine the life he had. being on the stage since he was 4. and everything else.. just crazy.

yes he was funny looking, but those pictures are all photoshopped to look worse. they all are.

MJ had a accident while on stage and burned his hair and part of his face once.. and MJ also had a disease that was rotting parts of his skin in patches.. so he had other problems. and yes he shouldnt of done so much plastic surgery. but still. be nice people.

I wonder if drugs were involved, they had to be in some way.. we will see when the examiner releases info.

RIP MJ.

 

[Orbital Shark]

I think a lot of people are WAY too sensitive, and they weren't even related to him LOL.

I'll be honest, if people make sick/funny jokes about me when i go, i'lll be happy i'm still entertaining the masses in my own little way

 

[Captain Zero]

I'll predict this now and say that there were no drugs involved. Certainly nothing illicit, he was a consummate professional and wouldn't abuse his body in such a way.

You call all be certain of one thing; he was taking this upcoming tour extremely seriously. At 50, he wanted to be at his peak performance and it's very likely that he was pushing himself too rigorously with regiment and routines. This was a very unexpected passing but the conspiracies will, no doubt, start flying. I can only imagine the aftermath and court battles over cash and assets will be even worse.

His entire life was bittersweet and dying so young and suddenly is a real tragedy.

This has been a very bad day for Generation X. First Farrah, now Michael. These people were on our lunch boxes!

Eyes are hurting. Cried a river today.
