Jackson suffered cardiac arrest, and wasn't breathing when paramedics reached him.

Personally, even though I am only mostly a fan of his songs, not him, it is very shocking and saddening to me. He leaves his young children behind.

RIP

1958 - 2009

.... Holy crap. I didn't see that coming. Captain EO will go sailing no more, it seems! I didn't believe Kris when she sent me that text message, but... wow!

Yeah, in recent years Michael Jackson has become a laughing stock, and the subject of many child predator jokes (shucks, where's the fun now? Now we can't tell Michael Jackson jokes without being awkward). But regardless of his trials and infamous situations, he made some classic tunes. Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Another Part of Me, and even music from the Jackson 5. His music will live on forever. It's really surreal that the once unstoppable King of Pop has passed away. I think it's still sinking in.

Dom DeLuise, Wayne Allwine, Michael Jackson. Childhood landmarks are falling, and it's taxing.

I -AM- a big fan of Michael Jackson, albiet...70s to 80s Michael. Heck I even made Captain Eo here at one point (I kind of regret taking Eo out to be bluntly honest...HOWEVER...he MAY again see the light of day soon...I'm heavily debating it. But I'm going to wait a while.) I'm not good for words, so here's a video:



Thanks Michael, for indeed changing the world. Your music will live on forever.

Oh, man. Captain EO/Eo/Whatever The Official Spelling Is was incredibly cheesy and silly, but it's a sentimental favorite. I miss watching it in Disneyland.

HOO!!
