There once was a singer light black
Who felt that some lightness did lack
He went to a doc
He’d buff and he’d chop
And the media gave him some flack

His memorial is a benchmark of opulent decadence and the cheapest of maudlin sentimentalism completely natural in the American idol business. Try as you might you cannot find a more meaningless mistaken and misplaced event for your tears. Everyday one hundred thousand more worthy souls depart the orb shrouded in deafining silence.
DB, his legacy will live on long after you and I are turned to dust. No amount of trumped up charges will detract from his contributions to the world. I shed no tears for him. I celebrate his genius. I do, however, shed a tear for our sorry lives that we find comfort in tearing someone to shreds because they don't fit our pre-conceived notions of how a human should look or behave.
There is the possibility it will mt_pockets but having admited as much what will it do for those who follow? Perhaps a bit of perspective is wise, I can safely say that most people on earth do not know or care about Micheal Jacksons life or his work. Now that may seem cruel and untrue to you but I assure you that it is the truth. There is nothing at all new in the way he looked or behaved, both of those extensions of his torment were attempts to define himself for himself. Like many celebrities he could not fill his own shoes. You can if you like belittle your own legacy but it would be unwise to cast mine in the same light. I fully expect to eclipse Micheals fame and fortune or would you deny me that possibility which as a free man is my due? Others will follow, the music isn't dead, just the insturment.
Mine and your legacies will be what it is within the sphere of our influence. Jackson's sphere was worldwide. Mine is limited to my family, co-workers and and a handful of friends. Unless you or me come up with some unbelievable discovery or devote our lives to eradicating world hunger (ala Mother Teresa) I'm afraid we'll be forever sentenced to a life of humble mediocrity. At best all we can do is shout from our soapbox here at CC. But if you do come up with a scheme to find fame and fortune I will trumpet your accomplishments with gusto.:smile:
You obviously don't know what you are talking about, so it would be best if you quit now....
Magnitude of his contributions? Aspire to his heights?? Give me a break....
ROTFLMAO.....what untruths have you uncovered Risus? The ones you formulate in your mind don't count.
Toilet paper has a wide sphere alright DB but you can easily substitute a page out of a Sears catalogue and it'll still do the trick. By the same analogy you can't replace Jackson. You can present a reasonable facsimile but it's just not the same.
Here's some fresh meat for you fellas. Give these guys 20 years and we'll be having this same discussion then. Have at 'er.

Ah, so you are an expert? Please explain why you are of the expert opinion he didn't have vitilago.
I didn't say it did. I said I found out he had vitilago and lupus. Vitilago, according to the Mayo Clinic (I believe they would know), cause skin blothiness. I just thought what I would do if I had it, and suggest that I would make all my skin look the same. You would wander around looking like a patchwork quilt, perhaps?
