I was pretty sick of home many years before he died.

as well, go figure. I didn't think I could get more sick of hearing about him, but I've found new depths, scary enough.

He did some good stuff. So did a lot of other people. Then again, I'm not much of a pop fan, so most of it was lost on me.

I don't do other fads, either.

where Farrah and Billy Mays are in all of this hype? I know Billy is one thing...but Farrah was an icon herself.

Icon? Oh, just like, say, Katherine Hepburn? No offense.

yes

in the same boat, KDFrawg. I'm not that into pop, either, so I didn't get most of it. He wasn't an icon in my eyes.

Icon of the 70s. I was just referring to the folks that passed within a few days of Michael.

Billy Mays was a nice, fairly normal guy in his own right.

I really don't understand the mania, and I was once upon a time MJ fan. Have the Thriller LP in the stairwell closet.

You can probably sell it now - if it's an original - on Ebay or something for a decent sum.

I've been watching Nick and Disney with the kids most of the time, so I've skipped most of the Jackson coverage.

Now, if you want the scoop on Hannah Montana, or iCarly - I can probably help you out.

I hate that 150,000 people a day die and all we ever hear about are pop stars and politiciams.

That my only beef. And hell, what do I know?

I've been sick of him for years.

it's insane. All of it. And that's coming from someone who's certifiable, albeit just for Bipolar Disorder.
