The circle of life continues having experienced it first hand this morning: my son is now 14hours old.

Congratulations Largo, may you have many happy times

Peace to Michael and your Family.

Re: Michael Jackson is dead

The poor man did not have a normal childhood and the rest of his life was a circus. Great music but at a huge personal cost.

The same ol' story of Fame and Money does not guarantee happiness.

PS: Elvis was another famous sad example of a guy who seemed to be on top of the world and exiting in the most miserable way.

Rest In Peace Michael !!!!

Re: Michael Jackson is dead

He was a one-man freak show for the past 10 years or so. Sad.

A friend just told me that the "King of Pop" moniker was self-bestowed. It was part of the contract that anyone interviewing him (Baba Wawa, for example) must refer to him as the "King of Pop."

The saying, " Be careful what you wish for" comes to mind. Fame ain't always what its cracked up to be apparently.

The doctor is hiding as perhaps what he was giving bordered on providing drugs to an addict. Or he fears for his life.

The good doctor injected MJ with some "medicine".

The doctor is now missing.

The doctors car which might contain stuff related to the "medicine" is missing.

The doctors lawyers wife is planning a vacation in an expensive resort.

Paul is dead

"Paul is dead" is an urban legend alleging that Paul McCartney of The Beatles died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike and sound-alike.

The legend hinges on supposed hints among the Beatles' many recordings and presumed to be deliberately placed by The Beatles or others. Hundreds have been cited at various times; they include statements heard when a song is played backwards, symbolic interpretations of obscure lyrics, and ambiguous imagery on album covers. Some of these have become well known, such as the fact that on the cover of Abbey Road, McCartney is the only barefooted Beatle and is out of step with the others.

It is often unclear how many proponents of this story spread it as a joke, as opposed to a real conspiracy theory. The rumour has been the subject of much sociological examination, since its development, growth, and rebuttal took place very publicly.

A claim that a hoax was perpetrated by The Beatles themselves, either as a joke or to stimulate record sales, has been denied by the band members...

...The first known printing of this urban legend was in the Drake University paper, the Times-Delphic, on September 17, 1969. The rumours surrounding McCartney began in earnest on October 12, 1969, when someone telephoned Russ Gibb (a radio DJ on WKNR-FM in Dearborn, Michigan serving the Detroit market). Identifying himself as "Tom", the caller announced that McCartney was dead. He also asked Gibb to play "Revolution 9" backwards. Gibb thought he heard "Turn me on, dead man."^[2] Gibb also produced (with John Small and Dan Carlisle) The Beatle Plot, an hour-long radio show on the rumour. The show aired on WKNR-FM in late 1969 and has been repeated in the years since on Detroit radio...

...The advent of the Internet gave "Paul is dead" rumours new life, with some websites claiming that photographic and video evidence proves that the McCartney before and after late 1966 could not be the same man...
