    He's a legend and a pioneer, unfortunately he will fall under the category of another icon with a questionable past. I feel for the family so if true may both he and Charlie's Angel RIP.

      Not strange at all, I am a huge Howard Stern fan, listened to him for more then 20 years.... I am sure I will feel like I lost a very close family member when he passes.

        Michael was such a freak for so long that it kind of seemed like he (or at least the Michael I want to remember) died a long time ago. Still, it's sad to hear he's truly gone.

        The freakish behavior made it easy to minimize Michael, but he was awesome at one time. That's the Michael I want to remember.

            No matter what we thought of his freakish behavior , Ye really is legend in the music industry and big loss to pop culture. He may have been a toon, but he will be missed.

              It's weird thinking of the entire Jackson 6, Michael died before any of the others including the parents.

                    For nostalgia, i'll always remember him most from the J5 cartoon.

                    I know he did a lot after that, but if the J5 were the Beatles, the J5 cartoon was the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

                      it's tragic for his family and children. 50 is far to young to leave the world. Now over the next few months and years all the garbage will start coming out.

                        If you could throw me in a DeLorean with a Flux Capacitor and send me to any era it would be the 80s...Michael Jackson was HUGE when I was a teenager and I was just reminiscing/giving a history lesson to my kids.

                        When I heard the news I immediately turned to MTV to see if they were covering it and was glad to see that they're showing Michael Jackson videos. It would have been terrible if they didn't acknowledge one of the premiere artists who put them on the map, even though they no longer show videos with any frequency anymore.

                        Tuned in just in time to see Thriller...Remember when, back in the day, when this would be show at the every hour on the hour? Classic classic stuff.

                        This day has really rocked my world...an icon from my childhood, one of my first pre-teen crushes, Farrah, died today and then an icon from my adolescence, a musical phenomenon also dies on the same day. My head is spinning....un-freakin'-believable.

                          I never saw this grief with Michael coming... but Gene is a big influence on
                          my life/art...I don't know HOW I'll react when Gene passes.

                          Right now I'm listening to a Michael mix I just made----R.I.P. "Thriller"

                            Not to speculate, but he was always really skinny ... like anorexic skinny.

                            If he was anorexic, that's probably what made his heart give out after all these years like Karen Carpenter.

                              I was a Michael freak as a little kid, I use to have the glove and jacket and would always practice the moonwalk, now I know what folks felt like when Elvis died.

                              despite his weird behavior,I've always been a fan and always will. Now I just feel terrible for all the times I laughed at the jokes about him on TV and crap like that.

                                It's tragic because once upon a time, Michael Jackson was handsome and talented. Then, the bizarre stuff started to happen and physically, he was always looking frail and his face artificial.

                                It's so weird that being, not a star, not a superstar, but a certified cultural phenom like Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, etc almost insures an early exit from this world.

                                I think it drains you, emotionally and physically.
