I can't believe Michael Jackson is dead. It seems so unreal...he was just part of our lives, folks my age. It used to be cool to like Michael. Everyone liked him, white folks, black folks, he was cute, omg, so cute until he lost his damn mind and started fucking up his face. That was a damn shame. Those first two resculpting made him look fine, and then after that, it was the Twilight Zone. I used to feel sorry for him though. Man, how could you hate yourself so much that you didn't want to look like yourself anymore? I used to think he was trying to look like Janet--that's her real face. Maybe a tiny bit of work on the nose. But he kept on going and going until finally, instead of talking about his music, and the probably eternal influence he'll have on the music world, lots of us are talking about his face. That's a shame. That's just wrong.



michael, from when he was so very hot and sweet.

His was a unique talent, one which I know has influenced a generation of musicians, and will continue to have an impact long after his death today. The last years of his life I found pitiful and sad, and the Michael you have posted is the one that I'll always remember.

Michael survived the curse of the ultra famous (think Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monrow, James Dean) for longer than most, but his dying today was still an extreme shock. He was too young and there was no hint that anything was physically wrong with him. They was no way for anyone to be prepared for what happened. I too am surprised at how sad his dying has made me, but I think he'll finally have the peace he's so deserately needed for so long.
