The Man in the Mirror

Let us think about why I am not particularly sad about Michael Jackson's death, beyond a vague, oh isn't that a shame feeling that has not impacted significantly on my mood at all

I had this thought of 'oh, sad for the children.' But then I thought, actually they might get some freedom and normal life now...That's sad for sure.

I absolutely agree with your sentiment regarding MJ's life.

For a man so talented, he lived a life of isolation and sadness.

He tried to make friends and seemed to be arrested at the age of 8... thus only friends he made were 8 year old children, which caused him so much trouble as he reached his 30s and 40s.

Again so sad.

I think it's this that bothered me about him as a person - he had everything people want in life; yet he was unable LIVE his life and that we, for all our 'poorness' in relation to him;

are so much richer with the families we have and the wives/husbands/partners, children and friends we have.

I'm a bit sad that we're all gonna have to hear/read about him for the next million weeks. Celebrity deaths are so annoying that way
