aaron Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Gutted, I saw him live back in 95 and it was unbelievable, truely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Unconfirmed. One report is saying "hospitalized," the other is saying "dead." If it is true, then that would be an incredible coincidence - one of the biggest icons of the 70's (Farrah Fawcett) and one of the biggest icons of the 80's dying on the same day. Wow.

Bill Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm not one for being swayed by his music and songwriting, this man encouraged young children to strip and play in the nude, and to sleep with him in his bed. Is he, was he a paedophile. ??? I know it was never proved but its bankrupted him paying out multi million lawsuits to keep it out of court. Any Joe Blogs would have been hounded out of the states, i think he got away with an awful lot more than just an "Ordinary Person". R.I.P yes, but thats all he gets from me.

Have to say I'm disappointed Bill . I expected at least someone to get on the pedo bandwagon , even though he was found NOT GUILTY , but I didn't expect it to be an admin that brought it up .

MikeO Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I expected at least someone to get on the pedo bandwagon , even though he was found NOT GUILTY He was found not guilty for the case that went to court (but then again so was AJ Simpson ).

The first one (Jordan Chandler) he "settled out of court" for $22m. So that made him guilty ? Get a life fella . It was a bad move on his part trying to keep crap out of the papers , but it didn't prove he was guilty . This is a topic that will have members at each others throats if it gets into a pedo debate , which is why I'm so pissed off that the admins here have as much common sense as Jacko's chimp today for some reason .

marcopaulo Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 make a new thread if you wanna slag him off! NOT GUILTY! end of story, couldnt give a fuck about the rest and if it was true which i dont think it is what kind of parents would take money instead of letting a man that did that to their children go to jail. if i had kids and i believed he had done that no amount of money would forgive him! RIP jacko best entertainer ever! better off dead cos of the shit he got off people that said shit like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 So that made him guilty ?Get a life fella .

This is a topic that will have members at each others throats if it gets into a pedo debate , which is why I'm so pissed off that the admins here have as much common sense as Jacko's chimp today for some reason . Calm down....don't shoot the messenger. Did I say it proved he was guilty? And I don't really see how you can have a Michael Jackson debate without mentioning it....it would be the "Elephant in the room." Most people seem to have managed to stay calm over it. "Get a life fella??" Strange thing to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Not going to fall out with you taxi but each to his own, If the guy lived next door to you and had your kids round for the weekend, i'm sure you might feel differently. I just dont understand all the praise and affection being shown to him, probably patto put it a bit better than i did ................. Talented yes but definitly flawed.
