Bad things happen in threes. Some people may count Ed, but Ed died earlier this week. I'm hoping Patrick Swayze is hangin' in there! =(

That just said that multiple places have reported it...even in the article it says that CNN hasn't confirmed it yet.

I'm not saying that its not true...i believe that when all these places confirm it, it's true. But i'm waiting for CNN to confirm it before i'll let it sink it (if it ever does...i wasn't a fan of his).

My words exactly, this is too much. I feel like the whole world is on pause right now :(

That's what my Dad said when I told him. He said, "There's number three.... and what a number three!"

RIP MJ

I get CNN's news alerts and they e-mailed at 5:32 reporting him dead. (although they did say according to multiple sources.)

Ya, there are several right by the med center. The closest would be Theta Chi, SAE, Delta Tau Delta, Theta Xi, and Phi Psi

The radio stations are rotating his hits right now. I was doing fine until they started playing "Man In The Mirror" -- Had to turn it off.

Sigh.

Local Top 40 station is playing Michael, then a song from today, then Michael, and so on. Station is telling the kids texting in that they should listen to his music, then listen to the next song and appreciate how much he contributed to the music community.

Smooth Criminal is on now. Love this song.

So sad..MJ was an amazing performer :( RIP

The station I just turned on is doing the same thing.

I'm glad that I was able to experience his talent, and I hope younger audiences realize how much he's contributed.

You know...I would have just assumed that Walter Cronkite would have been the one passing....

I am not joking CG..when you think of all the stuff out there that is by him....ebay sellers will have a field day.

^^^ Who wasn't, though? ;)

ETA: MTV is playing a cycle of his videos. Check it out.

They're playing "Bad" right now -- so many memories...
