I refer you back to my last post, which again you chose not to read. Keep up Bob FFS.

Yes, I read that post. You're prepared to forget that, under normal circumstances, you want those kids taken off him - on the grounds that you like Thriller.


I understand completely.


You're not alone. Many millions agree with you.


In many ways Wacko has become THE template for the baby-buying, selfish celebs of today - all overlooked on account of them being famous. God go with him, as you say.

Calm your skin down Bob, you'll give yourself a heart attack if you keep up the self righteous Mr. Angry impersonation. You know I'm only messin' with ya.

Anyway, if I see another clip of either Thriller, Billie Jean or Beat It, I might have to dangle my own baby out of the window (don't worry - I'm quite well know in television circles, I'm sure I can get away with it).


What we need is a three-hour special where they play Earth Song back-to-back, plus the other two decades-worth of mediocre pap - so that people can come to a balanced conclusion about his musical genius.

Not really.


Dead or alive, Wacko means very little to me beyond filling tabloid inches in a thorougly entertaining fashion - and providing some solid choices for a wedding reception playlist.


But as an example of what those blessed with cash and an army of fans can get away with, when excused from the parameters that everyone else is suppose to function within, MJ excels.

Look no further than some of the posters on EDF for more examples, if you know what I'm saying

What I dont understand about people is how they expect a man with a crazy life to become a well rounded sane individual. I dont think he was horrible or perverted but eccentric is an understatement. Its like raising a spanish child with a chinese family and expecting him to still speak spanish...it wont work. I hope he s in a better place- he had the best/ worst life depending on what way you look at it

Quick update on 200M dollar loser Randy - as expected he now wants to turn the 50 night run into a tribute concert as "its the best thing to do for the family and the fans".


Randy. Wake up. It's over.

    • Many thanks to the woman who looked after our old deaf Miniature Schnauzer who got separated from us in the park this morning. And thank you to the man who alerted us . My husband is very relieved and grateful. If any one knows who these people are please say thank you as he didn't get their names.
