Michael has kicked it, at least according to TMZ.

Now that's one I honestly didn't see coming.

Not a good week.

This is one of those shockers like Heath Ledger.  Feel sorry for his kids hopefully his family will take good care of them.

WTF      This came from left field.  Sad to admit - but he was super cool when I was like 6 or 7.  Always wanted one of those orange/red leather jackets back in the day.

CNN:  He's in a coma

LATimes:  He's dead

I'm lookin' at you, Mark Sanford....

Definitely didn't see that last one coming.  RIP Michael Jackson.  RIP Farah Faucett.

Sad about MJ, even though he freaked out in recent years.  Most of us that grew up in the 80's have to admit he had some good jams and we probably have to admit to having a couple of his tunes on our Ipods today.  I know I do.

The Web Collapses Under The Weight Of Michael Jackson's Death

Contributing to the problem yay!

Well there goes another trilogy.  Weird how these things come in threes.  I wasnt surprised by Jackson.  I had heard he had a pretty bad addiction to prescription pills over the last few years, which in turn would result in his heart stopping like it did. At least kids will be safe in his neighborhood again.  Yeah I know he was found innocent, but so was OJ.

He might have been weird, but he was a great singer / performer.  I can't imagine growing up in the 80's without the King of Pop's music and music videos.  R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

To be clear, no one ever said he nabbed a random kid from the mall or lured them off of the schoolground.  Some mother allowed her child to spend the night unsupervised at a pop star's home.  Kids will not be safe in MJ's neighborhood as long as there are dip**** stupid parents like that living down the block.

Regardless of his problems outside of his career, he had some of the best music ever.

I'm making today a tribute day to him and listening to only his music.

RIP Michael, you'll be missed and long remembered.

I was never a fan of his in the 80's.  I've never owned one of his albums.  I don't have a single MP3 of his music (bootleg or paid for) and depending on the song, I usually don't listen to his stuff when it comes on the radio.

I understand what he did for POP music, but I've never been a fan.  It was a surprise that he died yesterday but honestly, I can't seem to care.

   E...
