R.I.P. Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009

<< < (4/9) > >>

Mauzy:
Its truly sad to see a man go from absolute stardom to a punchline through his actions in the late 80s and 90s. I hope he can be remembered more for his music than the scandals. My generation is ruined. We weren't around to see superstar MJ. All we saw was a possible pedophile white man without a nose. All we ever heard was comedians rip the man apart.

I for one am a HUGE fan (along with anyone else alive when it came out) of Thriller. My LP of it gets regular play and will continue to do so.

Thenasty:
It's to abd for Some/all of us.
When we GO, we won't get this much publicity.
Maybe only BYOAC if the spouse will post that I've/We've gone to Arcade Heaven :)

OH! Boy, can't wait to see Arcade Heaven  :P



Just remember, "If it's your Turn, it's your Turn" period.



So.... Who's next ?   Jack Lalane ?     :dunno

I was just talking to my daughter about MJ's death. I didn't think she would care but she seemed to already know how significant the man was and had an understanding of how out-of-the-blue this is. I explained to her how blown away I am by it because of when I was her age Thriller had just come out.

I'm just trying to figure out how the hell she knows about Michael Jackson when I lost all my vinyl records 20 years ago and we don't own any of his music.

One of the best things I read on this forum is the posts of the widow of the late psik0tik. An ambitious fellow BYOAC'er who built an arcade in a travel trailer and sawed a taxi in half to make a sit-down MAME driving cab. He died in an oil industry accident of some sort (goddam NDAs). If my wife comes back here and posts news of my death to you shlubs and everyone posted accounts of how cool I was, I guess that wouldn't be so bad.

I heard that in honor of his death, daycares across America are going to fly their flags at half-mast today.
