Just hearing on the news that Michael Jackson has passed away from a heart attack. How sad about all of these recent celebrity deaths!

Yeah, I just saw that also.  Crazy!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Sad to see such a great talent let himself spiral out of control until his death.  Fame is not everything it's cracked up to be.
How is that Hopey / Changey thing working for you?

As a child born in the 80's, Michael Jackson was one hell of a musician, greatest of my generation. and one of the greats of all time. I still love watching his Thriller music video.

WOW... unbelievable.  i didn't c that one coming.  50 is way too young.  as a child of the 80's... he was definitely one of the greatest entertainers of all time.  i still remember that "thriller" music video.  he definitely set the trend on music videos.  may he rest in peace.

Yeah.  He was a talented individual who, like his father-in-law Elvis, could not handle fame.

That is exactly what we were talking about at work, I got home, and read of his death. 

He was a great talent, but a little too strange for me. If he had remained his original color, I would have more respect for him.

 It's very sad to see a person with  so much talent go so soon, in a world where actual talent is sorely lacking  this guy truely was the KING of his generation. I hope he finds peace.   GOD BLESS.
