michael sold the rights to ab out 26% of the beatles back catalogue a decade ago to pay off debts.
I am sure his estate will be sold and paul or ringo can buy up the rights if they can afford them.
it wil liekly cost over abillion dollars.

ringo is cool, he kept EVERYTHING from all the years in the beatles, costumes, instruments, promotional items, everything.

I heard a pretty fucked up joke about it. It went something like this:

"What were michael jackson's last words?



Take me to the children's hospital."

no one at glasto will be bovvered much unless thom yorke throws some moonwalk into his ian curtis moves, or blur busts out a sloppy cover of "thriller."

I haven't made any jokes yet (besides the Simpsons one) because I don't really care about this, honestly... and I can't believe other people do! I mean, I just love how a musician gets made fun of ENDLESSLY and people just flat-out don't give a shit about him for years and then he dies and suddenly it's the tragedy of the fucking year. Give me a break. Not directing that towards anyone on this board, but come on, the guy had been completely disgraced and torn apart for the last decade PLUS. And now all of a sudden, OH NOOOOOOOO WE LOST A HERO.

shit man:

News of Jackson's death spread quickly online, causing many websites to experience technical difficulties under the unanticipated swell of users. Google announced technical difficulties after a sudden swell in searches for "Michael Jackson" led the company to believe it was under attack from hackers, while social networking site Twitter reported a crash after record numbers of users used the site to spread the news of Jackson's death.[174] Wikipedia had temporarily experienced technical difficulties and crashed at 3:15 PDT reportedly due to excessive edits and user overload.[167]

i just hope the fucker finishes dying already so he quits taking up so much space in the news.

move along, nothing to see here, etc.

fucking corpses!

Necrophiliac.

yeah go ahead and revel your inner thoughts, carcass-lover.

Sorry, he only like twelve year old boys.

but you like your meat ripe. yeah you. confess. tomb-stalker.

I like my meat well done.

the people who denigrated michael are not the ones who are now sad. there are different kinds of people you know.
just because all anyone heard about MJ was a punchline and prurient for the past 20 years does not mean that a ton of people did not have much love for him and his music, going back to when he was 10 years old.

OH NOOOOOOOO WE LOST A HERO.

SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS.

I ONLY TOOK THIS PICTURE JUST NOW CUZ YOU ALL ASKED ME TO! MY $2,000 Sergio Rossi Thigh High Boots! Hot or not??
