RIP Michael Jackson
My hands are kinda shaking as I type this to be honest...
http://news.sky.com/skynews/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8119951.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7753036.stm BBC got a live video streaming, but haven't confirmed it on their end just yet, but more and more news sources are stating this as official and not just some hoax it seems... Quote:
Kinda seriously freaked out atm, will pop back in here later, feel free to keep updates.... (kinda ain't believing it just yet though...)

We are just as likely to hear jokes in supremely bad taste as words of condolence. Just heard it from my mom and she's freaking out right now, came flying back home to hear the news. |

Like marmite, whether you love or hate him (or don't care) - facts remain changed that he has changed the music industry in the last 50 years and achieved some amazing things. LA Times report that he's in a coma actually.... *holds onto frail hope* I guess we still need something really official, grr........ ><;;;;;;

Assuming its confirmed... I'll just stick with the memories I have of "Jackson 1" (with the Jackson 5) and "Jackson 2" (the 80s Jackson who put out some of the slickest music videos made during the heyday of the concept).

Fuck, that's another piece of my childhood crumbling. I remember the chills down my spine the first time I saw Thriller music video back in the day. This changed the cinematography of music videos pretty much.

I read it a few minutes ago...
I never really felt sympathy for the guy (as in, never cared for his music), but this is really sad, he was still very young. R.I.P. Also, I think this is pretty much killing my whole internet. Most websites/livejournal won't open here. :S |

*still holding onto frail hope*
Major news sources are still awaiting official word from the hospital though, nothing official has been given. (Even if he's in a coma, I guess he may not survive it...)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Is that enough Os or should I add more? I just spent a whole day last week wiki'ing everything about him. I was such a huge fan when I was a kid. *sigh* That's the way of all flesh though. It comes to everybody sooner or later.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Even though this is not exact anime related...his music was a big influence to the NA culture as well as overseas (One Piece had a character designed after MJ)
So...R.I.P. Michael Jackson 1958-2009.
