    This was one of the less tasteless ones...

    Authorities are claiming that the cause of death was probably The Boogie. Sunshine, moonlight and good-times are currently not being blamed.

    The really good jokes are way too tasteless to repeat here.

    Anyway, as de mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est, I'm going to refrain from any further comment.

    Hmmm, are you quoting Catullus' poetry? Some of it might have applied to Mickey J...

    Yes, Catullus definitely had an wicked satiric eye for human foibles especially of a sexual nature.

    Diogenes Laërtius in Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers attributes de nisi ... as a saying Chilon of Sparta (and, yes, I cogged that from Wikipedia), though it's a common enough Latin tag so might well of cropped up in Catullus. I confess to not knowing Diogenes Laërtius or Catullus well enough in the Latin to say, though both are well worth reading.

    In his hayday he was the greatest living performer. I was bought up listening to his music.

    What an amazing, but tragic life he had. He was an inspiration to millions, but due to his upbringing, carried the demons with him for years.

    Yeah you know the jokes are gonna come out ! Like ya say, some of 'em can't be written here...

    So CJC you into philosophy ?
    Recommend any decent books ?

    Strangely enough, the tickets are going for shedloads on eBay as souvenirs!

    MJ truly was the unluckiest man. Dying days before he sells more records than any time in the last six years, unbelievable.

    Most people are never famous before they die; Jacko was obvioulsy lucky that he managed to make a fortune before he died.

    Although doesn't he die leaving millions of dollars of debt?

    Don't you rather mean the difference between being merely famous in life and becoming immortal in death Adam? Marilyn Monroe. Jimi Hendrix. Kurt Cobain. Robbie Williams. Can't think of too many unknowns who've become famous in death other than a few mass murderers or serial killers...

    Artists and Musicians/Composers tend to get "found" after they've died..
