"There are reports ... Michael Jackson may have died after getting a Demerol injection.

The Sun is reporting shortly after the injection, Jackson's breathing got "slower and slower until it stopped.""

 

Most 50 year old men don't have 'personal physicians' who regularly shoot them up with pain killers. Hope this guy serves time if it turns out that enabled Mike for years and administered an injection that stopped his heart. Shades of the other King here. Fame takes it's price once again.

You have all heard the term "Suicide by Cop", I am afraid this is a case of "Suicide by Doctor."

In the early 80's I worked at a local stereo (among other depts) store. There was this guy in his early 20's that took 3 city busses from across town just to come to my store to listen to "Billie Jean" play through some 901's and a Carver M1.5t amp (lord knows they needed it).

...........................but for the man, he will be meeting his maker, and he better be prepared. Money does not provide a get out of jail card up there.

I hope they locked up all of the cherubs before he got there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.....sorry

Suicide by doctor – that’s good, includes Elvis Rich people are surrounded by those who pander to them, with too much medical attention and drugs

I was hoping one more awesome meg-hit album would redeem the sick f**K 

The bass on his awesome Thriller album moved me from Fulton bookshelf speakers to Cornwalls, then solid-state, then tubes and Khorns….

No questing the talent factor. I - like everyone else- bought Thriller and played it many times- great Party album. Then when the awful stories began to surface I got rid all my MJ music. Did not want it around anymore.  Another case of having money giving one the right to do anything they wish above the law. In this case- pretty creepy.

Looks now like I should have kept the vinyl.

Definitely not a fan here..... but I will try real hard  to be nice..............

 

FAILED

 

Guys, please read the title of this thread prior to posting. There are other places for moral posturing.

 Islander and Old Enough - thank you for your mature points of view.

 

And before anyone lets go a salvo in my direction, I try to stay clear of moral judgement on threads like this. I'm not defending any actions MJ may or may not have taken during his lifetime. 

BigStewMan:

That is presupposing that he hadn't made peace with God before his death. The physical condition of his heart we can know; but, the spiritual condition of his heart was only known by he & God.

You speak the truth, BigStewMan.  Thank you and amen.

My wife was a huge MJ fan in her younger days, and remained faithful until the evidence of his misconduct and "weirdness" became overwhelming.  Still, the day after he died it kind of hit her.  She was very blue all day yesterday. 

I feel bad for him and his family though I was never a huge fan.  Having said that, I will confess to thinking he was one really cool and good-looking dude back in the "Off The Wall" days. Wouldn't we all have liked to be that good lookin' and have those moves and that voice, and all that attention of the ladies? 

After the news of his passing at such a relatively young age set in, I felt older and more vulnerable than I did before.

 

FAILED- guilty as charged- I think that this one goes way beyond moral posturing. Having a discussion about MJ without these issues coming up is like having a discussion abut Michael Vick strictly as a football player forgetting that he was a dog killer. Challenging at best. I thought all of the the posts here were prety tame in the grand scheme of events.  In any case -I apologize to anyone who was offended by my posts. I am leaving this thread to those who think otherwise. Bad monkey- Off to time out(with a cold beer)

Thanks for taking this in the spirit intended. Yes I agree it is a challenge.

Enjoy the cold one!

Why? I find it very easy to discuss aspects of a person's life without needing to discuss everything that they've ever said, done, or thought. A flawed man, just like the rest of us, had his life tragically ended at a relatively young age--what value is being added by reminding people of the negative aspects of his life? i sure hope that at my funeral, people don't feel the need to remind everyone that i wasted years of my life deeply involved in drugs, to a point that i permanently damaged my body, or that after 26 years of marriage i still couldn't get my wife to love me and the marriage ended, or any of the other failures of my life. what really isn't fair--i never got a cold beer when i was sent to timeout--good thing or i would have spent a lot more time there.

The jokes have started:

Seen a lot here.

All have opinions and that my friends is what this forum is about and why we meet here. Sometimes it's actually about Klipsch speakers.

Reference vs. Heritage etc, etc

And so to opine regardless of "Topic Title"

I own and listen occasionally to this artist's LPs but the fact of the matter is this is one individual my world can do without.

What pisses me off is, a) the cost to the tax payer for this human body to be flown via helicopter for an autopsy. Excuse me, he AIN"T the president, next time you guys find a drug overdosed, child molester (MY personal opinion) dead, fly the body on over to be checked out. b) the amount of media coverage. Good God people get a life, he is an entertainer and as reported from our wonderful media in debt up to his glove. I pay my bills.

Anyone want my "Thiller" album for the $1200 I've seen on the auction block? Well, it's good but I'll sell it for a hundred or trade for a sample of speaker wire.

IF the charges brought against this man were false then the accusers should rue the day they were born.

IF the charges against this man are true then I know by all things Holy he does NOT R.I.P.

To the innocent children brought into this world by abnormal means by this man, I pray that you somehow get thru this circus of tradegy!
