He was a sick individual; self mutilating, drug and child abuser, ego maniac with low self esteem.
It shows the sickness of American idol worship society that this guy got another 15 minutes of fame in self inflicted death.
Very classy response by McCartney to the little twerps' passing, but I dont have to be as politically correct.
This dudette may have had talent, but he blew it (pun intended).
He may have had money but, again, he blew it. Michael Milken at least has a well funded and helpful foundation.
Our World puts too much value on celebrity and opinions that are expressed in a herd mentality, ignoring the obvious. We are all headed off a cliff and the fact that this guy got the primetime coverage he got is just another indicator of our stick our heads in the sand mentality. We want to be sold a heart of gold bill of goods. Michael Jackson is the current peversion diversion. He will be forgotten. Quickly. Hopefully.
I downloaded this Thriller Video from youtube. I did like much of is music. The man was talented, albeit, a little different. I did not get caught up in the frenzy that seemed to have overtaken many, but then I am a little order than a lot of those who listen to pop music today.
