And what more was he than a "pop" star?
If your priority is Michael Jackson at a time when we're our soldiers are involved in a war on 2 fronts, and North Korea is trying to instigate a 3rd front, all while we're attempting to claw our way out of a recession/depression...then thats actually pretty freakin sad!~
Well said. So yet another celebrity whose last big hit was 20 years ago dies of a drug overdose. Exactly how is this "news"? If his private life wasn't so bizarre, I doubt he'd get this type of attention.
