Michael Jackson dead

[Big Dave]

but MJ was born a cartoon character ..

There is a certain Fung Schwung about quoting Germain Greer on Michael Jackson.

damn shame when the Eagles, Stones, Aerosmith ET AL turn a brilliant career into a cartoon

I like cartoons. Tyler's and Walsh's particularly. Mick. No, but tell me he would have lasted as long on vocal integrity alone.

Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain and had the right idea .. Go out on top before you end up in Las Vegas doing 3 shows a night and telling the crowd to tip your waitstaff... or the Ozzy Osbourne equivalent

Amy winebag is next hopefully

Not our field of interest hey Sarge but his influence on dance is the greatest of anyone who ever lived..

Apparently jacko was taught to dance by Prince (or the artist formerly known as)

And I'd dispute the "greatest influence" bit. Wouldn't that be Fred Astaire?
Watching the continual reruns of Jacko vids on C4 yesterday, he really only had a few good moves - the moonwalk, the crotch grab and a few spins and high kicks.

He is in Vegas with Elvis and Salmon Rushdie.

I'm not a Jackson fan - apart from Joe Jackson - but the weird one did make important contributions in a number of arts.

Not our field of interest hey Sarge but his influence on dance is the greatest of anyone who ever lived.

A shame he didn't retire at 25.

Yes he did have his moments. A bit like Minties realy.

Or Gene Kelley - Artistically that's an interesting debate from the innovative v scripted (I can't spell choreographed) angle. Well worth someone with an understanding of it better than mine. I like Sammy Davis' work too.

But - Numerically MJ simply because there are more people and more avenues to copy him.

Liked his music not keen on the guy but nobody deserves to die at 50 and leave 3 kids behind. RIP

cmon guys a little fucking respect eh? leave this for proper tributes... u want to take the piss? plenty of threads about that in jokes and humour section...

unbelieveable...

a man who shapes the world... and all you can do is take the fucking mickey...

he was the music of generations... he touched us all (no thats not some kiddy fucking fiddler joke)

you fuckers disgust me sometimes.

[R6_kid:Me]

a man who shapes the world...

you got it back to front. The world shaped MJ... he was a product of the publics desires. He never had a 'normal' life and because of that became an 'animal', eventually something that the public despised of unless he was the on-stage MJ that everyone respected.

He's better off without the world. And in many ways the world is better off without him. I just wish the media, and the world would get over it.

thats fucking rich...

shapes the world .. fuck me .. get a life .. he was just another douchebag celebrity that contributed sweet fuck all to the human condition other than to let us watch the fucking train wreck from every conceivable angle

hero worship should be reserved for the people who contribute to society..


NOT fucking whackjob "idols" who just happen to have a good (electronically altered) singing voice, can dance a few steps or can chase a ball around and are willing to let everyone watch their fucking every move while we sit in our lazy boys and spout " i could do that "

now we get to watch the Jackson family and the lawyers rip each other to shreds for our entertainment .. bring on the lions and Christians for fucks sake ..


guess i shouldnt be shocked by anything on KB anymore...





CASE IN POINT


by all means .. DONT LISTEN TO JESSE JACKSON

[Big Dave]

I was going to say - leave the Christians out of it and just put the Lawyers et al in the courtroom with the lions and let them rip them to shreds.

But you wouldn't want to see a lion suffer like that.

[SARGE]

I was going to say - leave the Christians out of it and just put the Lawyers et al in the courtroom with the lions.

But that would be cruel to the lions.

sheesh man ... even the vultures wouldnt eat the lawyers ...


professional courtesy ya know ..

I changed it to a better gag.

Jackson has supported more charities than any other pop singer - 39 charitable organizations either with monetary donations through sponsorships of their projects or the participation in their activities. The charities involved include AIDS Project L.A., American Cancer Society, BMI Foundation, Inc., Childhelp USA, United Negro College Fund, YMCA - 28th Street/Crenshaw, The Sickle Cell Research Fund and Volunteers of America[7].
