Listening to the retrospectives has been sad. I heard this morning that they were looking for the doctor who lived with Jackson. They suspect that the doctor might have given him a shot of demerol or morphine that triggered his heart attack. In my mind, that makes it so much worse.

I have a question. Yesterday the news reports were going back and forth between heart attack and cardiac arrest, and even today I've seen reports where they say "heart attack" and then some that say "cardiac arrest." Has there been any conclusive results as to which one it is?
Cardiac Arrest =/= heart attack, the two are not synonymous. So I was just wondering which one it was.
ETA: Nevermind, apparently I didn't pay attention to this article on yahoo.

The world certainly lost a decent dancer, and an even worse person. Rest in peace, sweet prince.

I posted this in the other thread, but does anyone else get thrown off by the use of "MJ?" I always link MJ to Michael Jordan, not Michael Jackson. When people were mentioning that "MJ" died, my first thought was "Seriously, Jordan?"

I've seen Spiderman too recently to associate MJ with anyone other than Mary Jane (Watson, is it?).  Which reminds me, I need to post in the least favorite actors thread.
Anyway, back on topic... RIP, Michael.

Most folks that we admire and celebrate have all kinds of skeletons in their closets. Michael Jackson is no different.
The man was a global cultural icon (ETA) not just a decent dancer.

Rest in peace.
ETA: Note that this post is different than saying "decent dancer and even worse human being...the world lost a good one...." I suspect that MJ was involved in some things that could've contributed to his passing. But, that doesn't make him a bad person to me nor does it minimize the impact of his career and his passing for those who feel impacted.
