He deserves respect though. And George Carlin is right: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uC8LSV-j2g" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uC8LSV-j2g</a> Yeah he was a little fucked up because his daddy fucked him up and not easy either to deal with all that fame and money especially when you got fucked up childhood.

How anyone could watch this and not get completely creeped out by Jackson is beyond me. He (MJ) actually vehemently denied having any plastic surgery except on his nose, which he explained, "so I could breathe better and hit my high notes."

Isn't it obvious that Deepak is a shallow social climber, not the kind of friend that anyone would want? Isn't it also pretty clear that when anyone becomes rich, famous or powerful that they both solicit and attract those who tell them what they want to hear rather than what is good for them.

I like Michael Jackson in the same way I like car manufacturers - i.e. I like nothing he made after the 70s. I always though that Thriller was an overwrought piece of tasteless crap. Give me the Jackson 5 any day. "I was hoping that here at least, on Smashing Telly, there would be at least place that was MJ free"

Very sad. How come Deepak didn't say anything to him instead of listening for hours to his animal fantasies? I thought Deepak was deeper than that with all his PBS guru shows.

Stevie Wonder is going to sound out of this world. I was hoping that here at least, on Smashing Telly, there would be at least place that was MJ free :)

He stole the moonwalk from Fred Astaire, the Beatles rights from Paul McCartney, and a day of mourning/tribute from Farrah Fawcett. and not Fred or Sir Paul or Ms. Fawcett could "beat it."

With everything going on in the world yesterday, Cable News' switching to full time coverage of this singular story was both astonishing and sickening.

No other artist came to close to his mainstream popularity while also being almost universally recognised as a genius by musos. He proved that amazing music and commercial success are not necessarily mutually exclusive. He was also a more or less peerless performer. When he comes to be laid to rest I think it would be a beautiful touch if the pallbearers carry Michael to his final resting place while doing the the moonwalk.
