As the report that I have seen is not offical, I will wait to book my pilgramage to the Never Never Land Ranch (I still haven't made it to Graceland) it does seem as though he has passed away.

I was not so much a fan of his music or his bizarre behavior, I was in awe of his mental abilities - he had the amazingly talented Quincy Jones produce one of his best selling albums - "Billie Jean" had that signature "Q-sound" so did the next album, but Jackson produced that one himself - just one time working with Quincy and he had it down - that was his true talent.

Love ya,

Sally

Even if there were some things about his personal life I wasn't crazy about, his preforming and voice were legendary and incredible. And from such an early age, too!!

When I found out we had the same first and middle name (Michael Joseph) I was stunned too, I had no idea.

RIP to the King of Pop, hats off to you. I hope he is able to rest in peace, maybe there really is a Never-Neverland out there somewhere.

I remember when I was a kid (and so was Michael) having my AM transistor radio tuned to WLS Chicago and always waited to hear the Jackson Five with Michael Jackson belting the best songs an 10 year old could hear and identify with.

A B C, 1 2 3, Do re mi, baby you and me...

Gosh those were the days

I think that for our community losing the King of Pop is something that we will feel deeply.

While he never did anything to say that he was a part of our community, he certainly did have to put up with all of the same kind of treatment that we do.

He was an outcast even at the height of his musical career and popularity.

I always saw him as a tortured soul rather than a freak or a wierdo.

I hope that you now can truly Rest in Peace.

Good Bye Michael, I hope that you have finally found happiness and understaning.

Love ya,

Sally

I actually cried when I heard the official report.

I don't care what people say about him, and even if he did what they say he did, I'll always see him as a legend.

May he rest in peace, and may his legendary music and style live on.

while there may have been some .. er... questionable things to do with his personal life, there is no denying that he was a legend, a musical genius, a hell of a dancer and a human being just like the rest of us.

maybe now he's got some well deserved peace after all those years in the spotlight.

rip michael.

I remember beig a little kid and watching a michael jackson concert on tape during class. Everyone wanted to be like him. Then the stuff hit the thing and all my friends decided he was a freak and a bad musician. I was always a supporter, his music was great and he was a hero to me for his ability to stand through all the bad stuff in his childhood, through all the accusations and still perform. When I found out this morning I was at the store in a free period from school. I saw the headline and pretty much left wimpering. My friends couldn't care less which hurt me.

I hope right now he's somewhere with Jesus and Ghandi, re-enacting "Thriller". He'll be missed.

I don't know much about MJ. The main thing I remember about him is on one of the "Scary movies" number 4 I think? MJ randomly runs across the screen and steals a child.

Although I'm sure he was a good guy, and I hope he rests in peace.

I can't say I was a huge fan but I know that this has really upset a lot of people. This is my attempt at a tribute:

Michael Jackson knew a lot about "Human Nature". Some of his behavior could seem "Off The Wall" and at times he seemed to be a "Smooth Criminal" and made you want to "Scream". Take into account he didn't have the choice to live "In The Closet" and grew up with no "Privacy". He started at a young age "Working Day and Night". Maybe his excuse "I Can't Help It" got old but at least he didn't "Blame It On The Boogie". Some might consider his antics "Dangerous" and grew tired of giving him "One More Chance".

"Whatever Happens", you can't dispute his title as the King of Pop is "Unbreakable". He was a "Dancing Machine" who was always willing to "Rock With You".

"One Day In Your Life" you realize that you are not "Invincible". He comforted us by letting us know that "You Are Not Alone" and "I'll Be There" for you. He asked "Will You Be There"?, "Why You Wanna Trip On Me"?, and do you really "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"? He let us know that Billie Jean" was not his lover but a "Pretty Young Thing". He told fans "You Rock My World" because of "The Way You Make Me Feel".

He taught us some important lessons like it doesn't matter if you're "Black Or White", "We Are The World", and we have the power to "Heal The World". He encouraged us "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough". He taught us to "Never Say Goodbye". Years from now, people will ask "Remember The Time" when Michael Jackson died. Most will be able to say that he was an icon that was "Gone Too Soon". A lot of fans will be able to identify with saying "I Just Can't Stop Loving You".

A christian may believe that he is now able to "Ease Down The Road" to the Pearly Gates and be welcomed by angels doing his "Thriller" routine. Now he can rest in peace!

I know that this is a really "Bad" tribute! :P

That last post by me was a bit harsh. Sorry Joe Cool.

It really is impressive that you were able to incorperate all those song titles into a tribute. I will need to raise my game with the word play now.

Hah, Joe, that was pretty cool, actually.

I was definitely floored when my cousin's girlfriend got a text from my aunt saying Michael had died. We didn't believe it for the longest time until we finally had acces to a computer or a TV. So sudden, and young, too...

No matter what Michael may or may not have done in his life, the facts will never be known for sure after all, he was an influence to so many. He encouraged so many people into dancing, into music, and even if you just liked listening, he gave everyone a song to smile and belt along to if needed. From the very beginning he had a pretty rough and crazy ride of a life, and like everyone else has said, I'm hoping he's finally getting a chance to rest now. You kind of take people like Michael being alive for granted, and it's definitely a shock when they leave so suddenly. I really give his children my best, his family and friends too. RIP, man.

I enjoyed all the tribute music on the radio. My little sister has been watching him on youtube since last night, "Woah, he's a good dancer!" She's watching Thriller now. Great singer, amazing dancer.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?
