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.

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.
