The throne sits empty

well he will be melted down into lego blocks so that little kids can start playing with him for a change.

I cant get over ppl calling in on the radio station lifting him up so much. Sure, some of the music was good and he has been real successful but on the ther hand he plays with little boys private parts and takes bubble baths with him. Even farther than that the parents continued to let their children go over to his house. Some ppl love money more than they love their children i guess.

AMEN TO THAT!

MJ was at best eccentric and at worst troubled later in his life; that being said, he was an incredible artist who was obviously troubled internally. I have so many happy memories with his music as the soundtrack and I still can't help but watch his music videos and performances and be amazed by him. We do have to remember him completely - not just the good, but the odd and the bad, but as for me, I'll just say, thanks Michael, for great music for dancing around a childhood bedroom and even now, for dancing around a grown-up house with my friends.

you stop hating on me for hating on him for being a pedifile. If you see nothing wrong with it you might mess with children too. MJ is no different than the queers on Thomaston st that got caught with the child porn stuff. Come on with it.... we can talk about these issues till Odom closes this piece down.

It makes me sick to see people morning for this child molester. Maybe he was great, I don’t know I never listened to any of his music, but he was still a child molester. I don’t listen to Elvis either, but you are right “cake daddy” no one says these things about Elvis because he never molested any little children. In a perfect world MJ would have died in prison but when your rich and famous the laws don’t always apply (OJ taught us that much). Maybe MJ really is in a better place right know, I don’t know because I don’t get to determine his eternal fate, but I don’t think our god welcomes child molesters with open arms. You people who are on here taking up for MJ are probably the same ones who hate HB so much for soliciting oral sex from another ADULT. What makes MJ so much better? Is it because he could sing and dance? If that’s the case then I say we should free Henry because he was a good judge and according to “Sandra” a great horse trainer. Hell, let’s go ahead and free all criminals who have any talent at all. There is no excuse for a grown man to take bubble baths and sleep in the same bed ( both of which he admitted to) with little children. I’m sorry that MJ died ( I’d rather just see him in prison where he cant get to anymore children) and I do hope he made it to heaven but, I’m not going to sit around and cry over a dead child molester..

"they" say that johnny cochran said on his death bed something to the tune of " with the evidence brought forth about my client, he is innocent". He never denied it or snitched him out. The state messed that whole case up not to mention that everyone was scared the dumb masses would act idiots even moreso than they already do if he would have been found guilty like they did about the Rodney King case. This happend not too long after the rodney king pandemoneum if you recall.

doubt? does a innocent person payoff the family of the victims? If you didnt do the crime you dont pay a dime! He was a sicko playing with them kids like that. He grew tired of messing around with the elephant mans bones and that chimp, he wanted something else to play with.

I liked the black Michael jackson.

He just goes to show you how unusual America has become, where someone can grow up to be a black man, and later die a white woman.

Comments and opinions are one thing, and I have no problem with people expressing both side of the argument, but it bothers me that the moderator is allowing such foul jokes to be posted to this site. I don't see how they contribute to the flow of ideas. Not just to this article, but to any on this site.

Billy Mayes died.. the oxiclean pitch man.. dang that sucks.

If he was a poor alcoholic sitting around getting drunk or stoned every day and hanging around with other social freaks and misfits sober people wouldn't excuse his sickness. He wouldn't be a hero no matter what childhood excuse is blamed for the sick behavior.

Feel empathy for the sickness he had, but don't embrace it or excuse it. Try to reach out and help a fellow community member who has problems like this. There are a lot of functioning addicts and prescription drug users around. Let's all try to help them become clean and sober.

why dont you await hooked on phonics to arrive in the mail....damn!
