« praying to all the pug gods | Main | RIP Farrah »
When I came out of anesthesia and woke up on the gurney, the first thing I heard was one of the nurses say Michael Jackson was dead.
I wondered if I was really awake....those drugs bring on some pretty weird thoughts and dreams. I wanted to ask the recovery nurses among their chatter if it was true.... but the only words I could utter were, "ice chips".
I spent the next 24 hours in a Percocet haze of Fox news coverage and retrospective. And now the whole media frenzy is just getting carried away. I guess you can say a lot of things about MJ.....but you can never take away his talent or contributions to the music industry. From his early Motown days to Thriller, there was nobody better. So sad.... but part of me feels like he was such a tormented soul that its good he is finally at peace.
One thing is for sure, as a kid growing up in the 70's and 80's with the new MTV generation I have a lot of awesome memories to his songs. I prefer to remember him during those simpler times.
RIP MJ

it is sad that Mike was so screwed up
I am not much of a fan of anyone but I do feel a bit sad about Farrah Fawcett being upstaged in death by MJ.
What the tabaloids did to her in the end was horrible.
it must have been hard for her to document her cancer fight on film
it really showed how beautiful she really was.
RIP Farrah, Michael, and Ed

I did like his music and I agree he must have been a tortured soul. May he be at peace now. Praying that all went well with the biopsy.

I feel bad for Farrah too but I do understand it...Farrah has been publicly battling stage 4 cancer for 2 years so her passing was not unexpected. I think the media is in frenzy mode over MJ because it was totally out of the blue sensationalism. At least Fox news has been rebroadcasting her documentary story in between the MJ coverage....though I find it too sad and difficult to watch, I've tried a couple times but couldn't get through it.
Thanks for the well wishes...surgery went very well, won't have biopsy results until tuesday..... I'll have lots of distractions between now and then....I have a second foster pug coming tomorrow!!

Hope you feel better very soon Lori!!!
They were playing Michael Jackson videos all day on MTV, & My goodness the memories of watching those videos!.., Thriller, Billie Jean, etc. that we grew up with... He is this generation's Elvis Presley, & his death was so eerily similar... So sad... RIP MJ...
