Erm, but I don't like the modern pop scene...

I digress though.

I'll leave this thread for the mourners.

I'm not exactly the BIGGEST fan of his music, but you gotta appreciate his contribution to the modern pop scene. He practically created it.

I'm much more interested in this Jeff Goldblum rumour, to be honest.

It's still sad though, that he's died.  I'm not a fan of his music or him but as HP said, it's sad that he seemed to lead a sad and lonely life.

Bad day for celebrities.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I can't actually believe this. That's it, I'm putting on Thriller. His body may be dead but his soul is alive and f**king kicking in his music. RIP dude.

Looks like it's the day of the passing of the not very old celebs today - Farah Fawcett first, then Michael - and latest on the rumour mill is that Jeff Goldblum died after an on set accident in New Zealand.

I've never been sure how to feel about MJ because it's not clear from where I stand whether he was just a weird, lonely guy who got screwed by the jackass parents of the boys he befriended and his insane childhood, or if he was an actual pedophile. Either way, he had a pretty miserable life, so it's still sad. Maybe now he has found peace.

From what I could gather from various local Los Angeles news providers I googled, he had a cardiac arrest, arrived at the hospital in a deep coma and his life was beyond saving.

Just a heart attack as yet.

Ed McMahon died a couple days ago, then Farrah Fawcett today...it's just a sh*tty week I guess.
