MY MICHAEL JACKSON RANT

This is my official "rant" on Michael Jackson because all the crap in the media and on the internets is just getting mean, vicious and frustrating. So I'm gonna say this all at once and get it outta my system and I won't have to go onto forums and start vicious word wars with other posters. God knows we don't want that to happen!

Okay here I go. Michael Jackson was arguably, the best entertainer we have ever known. I doubt there is anyone out there that doesn't at least like ONE of MJs songs or videos. The man is dead. It is a sad and a very painful thing for a lot of people, me included, because he was a part of our whole LIFE! He was the soundtrack of a generation. Michael died too young and needlessly. The man had an ADDICTION. Yes, he chose to take drugs but he was addicted. The facts are he had MANY MANY MDs who were enabling him by giving him these very powerful drugs. He had a doctor LIVING with him and yet, he still died. If the reports are to be believed and I have no doubt they do, MJ was emaciated, he was full of needle marks, he was taking alot of meds, not eating and rehearsing for a very grueling tour that would be difficult for a 20 year old. MJ was 50. What in the Holy CHRIST were his handlers (managers, agents etc) thinking? Before MJ died I knew he couldn't get through those concerts, and guess what? He didn't! He's DEAD!!! Nobody talked him out of or tried to deter him from these concerts?! They had to have known he couldn't do it!! Obviously MJ was too high to make the proper decisions and the sychophants and hangers on only saw dollar signs.

I am not blaming his family. Well not totally. I won't go into Joe Jackson because that would take this rant way beyond the pale. MJs family TRIED to do an intervention. He did not let them on his property and he cut them out. He cut out people who spoke up to him. He was living in a drug fueled haze apparently and yet no one not even the many MD's oh I don't know, didn't think, Geez, there is no way in hell MJ can tour when he is a freaking skeleton, not eating and taking potent narcotics, sedatives and some damn ANETSTHETIC that is only used in HOSPITALS!!! Is it any surprise the guys heart stopped? And don't get me started on the fact that the CARDIOLOGIST he had living with him did not have a DEFIBLIRATOR on site. I bet you dollars to donuts MJ would probably be alive now if he had a shock to his heart right away.

Someone should have done something. Called CPS and perhaps the threat of taking his children away would have caused him to finally get the help he needed. In fact, I'm' sure if anything would have done it, THAT would have.

So now what are we left with? We've got the family ARGUING over where he is to be buried since it seems they want to make money off this thing. MJ doesn't want to be at NEVERLAND he said so. He stated in interviews it was tainted and he wasn't going back. Why in the hell would he want to be buried there? Put the man in Forest Lawn where his fans can see him. They way he talked about his love of fans, he would want somewhere they could go to pay their respects. Then, if the Jackson family wants to/needs to do some Memorial Theme park or whatever...go for it. Hell, Jermaine sounded damn good at the Memorial singing SMILE. Get him back on a label, reunite the remaining brothers; but stop the fighting over the money. MJ is gone and he ain't coming back and that's the cold reality. The family needs to take good care of his precious kids and bring them up in a loving, caring and as NORMAL an environment as they can. When the kids turn 18 then they can decide what, if any, public life they want to lead.

And as for the molestation crap; I am so sick of reading on TEH INTERNETS how MJ is a pedophile and a child molestor and good riddance. If you don't like the man, then just shut up. This will die down in a while. All he wanted to do was love and be loved and gave us some great music. Chill out, listen to some of his songs and believe me, you'll be feeling fine. MJ paid out a kid $20 million because he wanted the whole thing to go away. He made the wrong decision cause it made him look guility, however, that kid HAS NOW ADMITTED that his own father made him make the accusations for MONEY! The second accusation led to a court trial and MJ was found INNOCENT! It seems the motives of that child's family had a lot to do with seeing $$$ signs too. I believed for a while that maybe the charges were true and I lamented at the heartbreaking reality of what MJ had become in appearance. I don't think he was guilty. Perhaps some questionable things did take place, we'll never really know. That is between MJ and GOD or whatever LOVE FORCE we enter in the next realm.

I am gonna miss MJ alot. It's true, you really don't know what you got til it's gone. MJs gone too soon. Elvis gone too soon. Anna Nicole, Marilyn Monroe, Heath Ledger gone too soon. River Phoenix, gone too soon. Why? Drugs. To quote Southparks Mr. Mackey, "Drugs are bad, Mmmmkay!" Now I am gonna go listen to my Thriller CD and enjoy some damn good tunes that will NEVER DIE!!!


.......and thus ends my MJ rant. I feel so much better now. The internets are now safe from my wrath!!!!!

MICHAEL JACKSON MEMORIAL

John Mayer's spot on performance of "human nature" was incredible. Michael Jackson, your presence on this planet, in this plane of existence will be sorely missed and the world will never be quite the same. Thank you for your music. I will miss you more than I can say.

Looking Out
Across The Night-Time
The City Winks A Sleepless Eye
Hear Her Voice
Shake My Window
Sweet Seducing Sighs

Get Me Out
Into The Night-Time
Four Walls Won't Hold Me Tonight
If This Town
Is Just An Apple
Then Let Me Take A Bite....

LOST SCOOP!!!!

From Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files comes this info: May's series finale is going to be a real downer, predicts Michael Emerson (Ben). "I don't think Lost will have a happy ending," he confessed to us at the Saturn Awards. "It's the end and I think we are going to start seeing more casualties. I would put money on major characters being killed. I believe it will be a sad ending to the show -- or at least bittersweet. I think it will definitely be a series finale for grownups." Emerson, meanwhile, is still trying to make sense of the season 5 finale. (Join the club!) "I killed Jacob... maybe... probably," he hedged. "It isn't like we haven't seen plenty of other people be killed and somehow come back. And what does it mean if I did kill him? I Who the hell was he anyway? Obviously, Ben wanted a father. So much of our show is about bad fathers. It is one of our biggest themes. And Jacob disappointed in those final moments. And maybe Jacob made it easy for him. Maybe that was all meant to happen. Is it all ordained? Maybe. And for that matter, can Jacob even be killed?"

My thoughts........

I wouldn't want LOST to be a syrupy, sickly sweet totally happy ending anyway. It's Science Fiction and that can never end happily ever after. I mean, can you picture Ben all happy and chipper without a care in the world? Yuck! Ben must get smacked down at LEAST once each episode. By now, this is both necessary and de rigeur. Can Jacob be killed? Damn I hope not. I want to see some more of that sexy God's favorite-barbecued-finger-food. Yummy. Jacob on a stick! Oh my, see what happens to my mind when I don't have my weekly LOST fix? Scary!!! And if a major character is going to get killed, Oh my Jacob, please kill off Kate! Thank you!

LADY GAGA

Okay, I really like the song Love Game by the aptly named Lady Gaga. I have seen her of course, as she's all over the mags, but I hadn't heard her doing her thang. The song is really good and reminds me of Madonna (when she was at her peak). Take a listen and let the music soothe your soul--or any part of your body that happens to be burning/tingling at this particular moment!!

Love Game - LAdy Gaga ft. Kanye West & Lil Wayne



MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD, ANYONE HEARD ABOUT THAT?!?

Ha ha ha. I'm kidding of course. You'd have to be dead or in a brain dead coma not to have heard this story for the past almost week, and even then you'd probably still know. So, it seems our late buddy Jacko had some drug at his house that is an anesthetic given by IV before surgeries and the like. Obviously MJ had some sleep issues and decided that seriously potent anesthesia meds was the way to go. The good news is it worked! The bad news is it worked too well. Honestly, couldn't Jacko have downed a few Ambiens? Those things make me go seriously into another dimension. Seriously. It is very sad that the Zombie played by Jacko in the Thriller video became what he actually looked like later in real life. If only we knew what he thought when he looked into the mirror. I doubt he was asking who the fairest in the land was, that is for sure!!

HAVE A GOOD TRIP TO NJ MS. PAULA!!!!

Drive safely and all that other jazz. Feel free to you know, get me any number of different Louis Vuittons while you're in NYC!!!!! Or Gucci, Prada, Juicy Couture etc., HA HA HA. When you return the great "LOST REWATCH 2009" will commence with a crap load of Chinese food to accompany it. Yum Yum. Me want some duck sauce!!! Nothing is better than watching LOST, seeing a shirtless Desmond as I munch hungrily on a a beef terriyaki stick. Oh get your mind outta the gutter. Yeah, yeah--what you're thinking IS what I meant!!!

RAIN RAIN RAIN

What in the the name of holy hell is it with all this damn precipitation? Is the summer gonna be a washout? Should I start building an ark??? Come on sun dammit, SHINE already!!!! If I have to be out of work at least let me be out of work with the appearance of tranquility via the sun. Summer goes by way too fast so let's have some decent summer weather NOW. And I mean RIGHT NOW!!

ANOTHER DEAD CELEB!

Karl Malden has joined the dead celebs of 2009 club. Apparently the club has become VERY relaxed on its member approval process. And Patrick Swayze is still hanging on. Also, I thought Karl Malden had died eons ago. My bad.
