stooka Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I read today MJ had some Diprivan - the stuff I see used daily for general anesthesia on our surgery patients. WOW! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yeah - he allegedly had an anesthesiologist, who lives in Woodstock, travel with him on his last tour to knock him out every night and wake him up every morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
standenup Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 and apparently he begged his personal rn to find an anesthesiologist to come to his house and give him diprivan like a week before he died. she didn't do it. or claims she didn't... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mastershake Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 man i still can't believe he's dead. i've been watching old michael jackson videos on youtube the last couple days - such an inventive entertainer. The whole skinny tie, black suit, black hat persona - his style is what made it so irresistible to watch, but his kind of fame will never be achieved again. he could easily sell out a venue that holds 10 million people. and his fan devotion is unbelievable - you'd think he was jesus or something to these people. the countless videos of girls crying and collapsing after hugging him... he met so much to so many people, but led such a tortured existence. the press never stopped hounding him and demonizing him - and he was the type of person who wouldn't hurt a fly. poor guy, on the eve of his comeback he dies.

tugmoose Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 why is it that every time i go to the yahoo page for my email, i see a photo of MJ in full bizarro mode accompanying the latest funeral news? Why can't they use a mug from the "Off The Wall" days, where he looks like a regular guy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why can't they use a mug from the "Off The Wall" days, where he looks like a regular guy? What fun is that? But the New Yorker did publish a pic from about this time in their tribute to him. The latter day Michael was such a freak it is frankly painful to look at those pictures. He looks so sad and fucked up. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 That's some crazy lyrics. I wonder how that album sounds now. It is becoming the summer of Michael. The tune 'Rock With You' has been on an endless loop in my head. And, I hear MJ blaring from cars, pubs or homes every single time I venture outside. Sad he's dead and all, but it's kind of cool that the music is rising to the top. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I knew it was only a matter of time before my five-year-old daughter learned what a "zombie" is. I just didn't think she would learn it this week from a Michael Jackson video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parisisstale Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Who knew that Michael Jackson made Magic Johnson a better point guard? I must have missed that playoff game when he moonwalked down the lane while going behind-the-back to Worthy. I just hope the madness will finally subdue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Good thing they paraded that little girl out there. I don't think the whole family wanted her out there. I think they were divided. If it were my funeral or my wifes and my kid wanted to speak, I believe the surviving spouse would allow the kid to speak. However I'm not Michael jackson and my funeral will not be held in a basketball arena with thousands in attendance and all those stars perfoming. My initial reaction was that the family did nto want her out there because it was a show, now I think the one's who did nto want her out there were trying to protect her. Though both thoughts are purely speculative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Before she spoke, the other brother did say "Janet wants to say something"...then it was the little girl.And regardless of whether or not she was being exploited, you'd really have to be dead inside not to feel the love and sadness of that moment.

Guest Jules Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 And regardless of whether or not she was being exploited, you'd really have to be dead inside not to feel the love and sadness of that moment.I agree. I just hope she did it on her own, that's all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't know, I'm going to look like a cold-hearted ass right now, but the clips I saw from that memorial seemed so fake, almost scripted, in an attempt to maximize the emotional impact. It didn't feel like a real family mourning a lost son. It felt like a bunch of celebrities putting on sad faces for the cameras. Even Paris' little speech didn't seem honest to me. I would wager a large amount that that was not her idea. And the idea of all these people singing, while the dude's coffin is ten feet away is just very strange to me.

Sir Stewart Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I agree. I just hope she did it on her own, that's all.I know what you mean. I was thinking about just that after the show, and I think it comes down to how good a bullshit detector TV is. Saddam Hussein wrapping his arm around the British boy he was holding hostage, Michael Jackson making out with Lisa Marie Presley onstage on MTV - those two stick out as examples of how easy it is to discern a lack of sincerity (sometimes) on TV. And I saw nothing but sincerity from the little girl yesterday - she didn't look up at the family, didn't back off or seem ill at ease. I really think she was there on her own terms.

From the clips I saw, I thought the same thing. It was almost like watching a fake funeral on professional wrestling. I was waiting for Michael to jump out of the casket and clock an unwitting Stevie Wonder over the head with a steel chair. However, how could you not be self aware of how you are acting when you know billions of people are watching. That is, unless you are truly distraught and feeling the loss, then you wouldn't care how you looked on TV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I agree. I just hope she did it on her own, that's all. Regardless, she's getting a pretty late start on stage, being a Jackson and all. She has half a chance of turning out sane, if they continue to try to keep her out of the spotlight.

It just seemed meticulously put together, and having his daughter speak, to me, seemed like a blatant attempt at humanizing Michael. Especially with all the "is he the father" controversy. And Al Sharpton just pisses me off, so his involvement didn't help. All told, I just want this MJ shit to be done with. The media attention this has gotten is disturbing, if you ask me.
