Just got the phone call from my boyfriend. Michael Jackson's really gone... I haven't felt this shook up since Steve Irwin passed...

Sad day.

And he was only 50, too.

It's a really sad picture of the State of the Union, if you gather my meaning. I mean... It wasn't just one person's fault. He subjected himself to the scrutiny of the media and the viewers, yes, but the world devoured him. It's happened before. People aren't meant to do this kind of thing on their own. We're too tiny and we're too vicious. So we were fed someone with remarkable talent and we helped lead him to the slaughter mill. Who's next? Brittany?

I'm sad to see the talent go, because he did have talent. Other than that...../shrug

Not only that, but his father had a lot to do with it. I hate how his abusive father - who FORCED his kids into music - is in the rock 'n roll hall of fame as the "Greatest Manager Of All Time".

Such a sad life. And he had such talent, like Tarsha said.
