Yes, it’s apparently true. At age 50, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has passed away. My readers don’t typically come here for entertainment news, so that’s why I’m leaving it up to the others to report.

A strange man, but even so, I grew up dancing to the “Jackson 5″ music. I’ll always like his music, but still he grew up to be a peculiar person. No disrespect intended, but I hope it won’t be MJ’s death news 24/7 on TV. I’m sorry, but he was only a titular King – that of a musical genre, not a nation.

Now this makes three: Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and now Michael Jackson.
