I LOVE Michael Jackson, and don't need to buy any albums as I own them already!

It is still surreal, and I am hoping to wake up from this wicked nightmare. I was waiting for the comeback tour so I could see him live

BUT!!

Please remember... The largest tax increase in U.S. history is being voted on today!! Call your congressional representative NOW and ask him/her to vote NO on HR 2454. The number is 1-800-833-6354. While you're at it, be sure to call a Democratic rep in a district near you as well. Tell them to vote NO!

An Email I sent to the man who forced me to create an account...Dan Ackerman

"You and I both know what I'm talking about.That article of Michael Jackson, http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10273229-1.html?tag=rtcol;relnews (hours after his passing) had about as much substance as a Sarah Palin speech at a Cocktail Party. So lets just skip the diagnoses of your ill-informed, unintelligent, demonizing article that you unsympathetically SMACKED together and get to the part where you clean off your desk of Rogaine, hair plugs and family photos of those who are to be embarrassed of any connection to you what-so-ever, (be it blood, sperm or sheer friend-of-the-moron) and turn in your resignation... Watch out for the MJ Fan barrage awaiting you near the exit sign of your building sir."

Idiot - A person of subnormal intelligence... Better put "Dan Ackerman"

This is a rough one to get over. I just heard his song playing on the opening of a radio show and I immediately burst into tears. Even though I never met this man, its like I met him through his music and performances.

Driving home last night with multiple radio stations playing MJ back-to-back, all night, made it pretty surreal ... and disturbing, being only 9yrs younger than he was.

MJ's Dangerous Tour was the first concert I went to. No matter what people say about MJ, he was a Legend and today we have Music Videos and MTV (technically it's MTV2 now for music only), thanks to MJ.

I just lit a candle to join with fans from all around the world to paying their respects to Michael. He's gone, but not forgotten.
