BigStewMan Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Money does not provide a get out of jail card up there. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Endorsed by a saint. Can't beat that! As for Michael, we'll all be there in our turn. Hopefully not for quite a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 unopened copies of original Thriller LP are fetching $500 to $800 right this hour. The amount of MJ memorabilia is staggering, this could be interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Amazing talent. My personal faves were pre Thriller, though that was great. Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground) and Blame it on the Boogie. I was wearing out those two DJing for HS dances. It's been sad, strange and scary to see him in a downward spiral the last couple of decades. Haven't known what to make of what has been going on with him. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Not a fan as well but most of his recordings that I have heard sound fantastic . Peace at last MJ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me Loves Khorns Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Interesting paradox indeed. When he was alive, I really gave him flack about being a pervert so to speak. Now, as I watch news reports about his deaths, I seem to miss him. Or, at least his talent. Interesting indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted June 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted June 26, 2009 Michael Jackson was a master at his craft, whether we liked his style or not. Thriller was one of the most, if not the most popular album of all time. Most of you that know me at all are aware that I have issues with his personal lifestyle. That being said, we cannot know a person's heart. I pray the demons that tormented Michael Jackson during his life on earth, will not follow him in death.

m00n Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 The man was an amazing tallent. Loved thriller back in high school. Didn't care for what he became, nor the scandals. Regardless of his personall issues, I find it very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 "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.

RT FAN Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 You have all heard the term "Suicide by Cop", I am afraid this is a case of "Suicide by Doctor." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 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).

sputnik Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 ...........................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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 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….

winchester21 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 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.

jdm56 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester21 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
