MJ

Michael Jackson died last Thursday.

It sounds like he went peacefully and anti-climatically, but the by the amount of media coverage and drama, you'd never know it.

I find it fascinating how varied the reports are of his health before he died. One report will say he was incredibly healthy with so much energy, and another will say he was a walking corpse. One will insist he inhaled a few bottles of pills a day, and a fourth says he never took a drug in his life.

The truth is probably somewhere in between, given that he passed a four-hour physical earlier in the year, but clearly had to have some sort of powerful drug injected that would cause death.

I'm not sure how all this will play out, but I think it would have been fun to grow up when he really hit it big. We'll probably never see another celebrity break down barriers and dominate the world the way he did, and it would have been interesting to live that experience.
