My dad had James Brown tickets when he passed, and I'm pretty sure he got a refund. So I think this may be the same thing? I'm not positive though.

Yea I saw that. I just gave about $20 to iTunes myself.

^^^ 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...

I feel for his kids. They've already had such a screwed up life. Hopefully they'll have more of a shot of normalcy.

It's still not sinking in for me. It just takes me back to the way I felt when Princess Diana passed. It's like I want to wake up from a bad dream.

Crazy. First Farrah and now Michael. He had such a difficult life. I really feel for him. I was hoping that he'd make a comeback. I was also hoping that he'd do a US tour if his European tour was successful. I am so sad that I'll never get to see him in concert. He is truly a legend.

Apparently he was planning on a US tour for next year.
It was originally planned for this year, but he had some health problems and had to push it back.
I honestly do feel for him, he had alot going on.

It is really sad what he's been through, and where he came from (i.e. screwed up family). I'm sure his dad is already figuring out how to make money out of this.

I'm so glad that one of his lawyers is calling all these enablers out. This is some really messed up stuff. All of those hard hours of working, plus injuries, plus surgeries/procedures to deal with the injuries, plus stress over money, plus working out, plus all these bottom feeders looking for a free ride, plus so much depending on you AND all that unecessary plastic surgery! That is enough to do any man in.
I'm so sad right now. When I was 17, I was at Hard Rock's headquarters doing a special program and we were allowed to try on tons of the stuff that had been turned in to them. One of the things was the red jacket from THRILLER. That was one of the greatest days of my life. 
I keep talking about it. I know it. But I don't like to hear anyone say it.

I still can't believe it. Part of the reason is because out of anyone in the world that my mother could have told me that died today Michael Jackson is not a name that I would have EVER thought that I would hear. What a sad day.

E! is all MJ right now. I kind of feel bad that Farrah's hype has been completely killed now b/c of MJ's death.
...not saying death is a popularity contest or anything... but hell, I'm not seeing any Charlie's Angels playbacks right now.
I cannot believe he was only 50, though. They just keep getting younger.

Keep in mind that she had a media bonanza for like 3 weeks about a month ago. Also, while her death is no less important, she had been suffering for years and we all expected her to die sometime soon. She is in a far better place now. How long does someone who has acknowledged that they are incurable want to continue dealing with the pain that they've dealt with for YEARS? I hope she went peacefully.
