    No more Cobra II and white glove jokes ever again.

    Very sad about the MJ. I just got my 3yr old into the Jackson 5.


    Heaven has no media coverage. Godspeed!

    Unhappy troubled soul

    I remember seeing this live and after all this time it still gives me chills.

    With the CD in the rolling 1000 watt sound in my White car, it's a friggin' religious experience when the chorus comes in. It's got to be played at high volume!!

    The music lives.
    The lawsuits died.
    The courtside circus died.
    The Surgical mask and glove sales died.

    This guy went from child prodigy, to superstar, to pedophile, to freak, to pariah, to Sainthood. Quite a life.
    The autopsy report should be very interesting.

    Very sad story. He lived a troubled life no doubt. Never really had the chance to grow up and develop mentally as a mature adult.

    Thumbs up

    Yup, brillant talent. "Billy Jean" live just blew me away. So good!

    The drug addiction, the predatory child molesting, the self-mutilation, the "crazy to be white" transformation, none of that is excused by his incredible creative genius.

    But, I'll always play his music and watch his performances. I love that sheeeit!
