Very insightful, Jeannie, hadn’t thought of it quite like that, but people do ‘mourn the loss of the good’ associated with that person. (Why you’ve never heard a truthful eulogy–relax, do what you like, they’ll edit out all the bad stuff and make you sound like a saint!)

You got it, them vultures is circlin’, for sure. Too bad for MJ it took death to make him fashionable again… celebs who wouldn’t get near him alive are grabbing the camera and pulling it their direction.

Okay, I’ll come clean–I’m no fan of Michael Jackson, and I think the publicity is overkill. The ways to analyze this, the lessons, the analogies, though? They’re endless. If you want to study how people work, it’s all here. Not much of it good, either.

Thanks for thoughts, Jeannie, well done… jef

Death is a loss, and I believe people mourn the loss of the good associated with that person. This is why many people are making a big deal out of MJ’s passing. Bigger than David Carridine, Ed McMahon, Farrah and Billy Mays, because MJ lived such a high profile life. Intrigues and all, people across the globe still benefited from the MJ’s positive contribution through his career and humanitarian efforts. I recognize that…

And then there are the publicity hungry ones and the publications and other vultures that wanna make money out of this tragedy.

Suicide or accidental overdose, who knows. What seemed to happen was he manifested what he feared most, and that’s SAD. You are right, ‘power of knowing.’
