Michael Jackson dead

[ChilDawg]

Why is it that when Elvis died EVERYONE mourned his death and when someone whos contributions to the worlds of humanitarianism, music and pop culture dies people just want to say "OH WELL"?

Because Elvis didn't have the same allegations against him...and he didn't do many of the psychotic things that Jackson did as his health and career deteriorated. It's hard to eulogize Jackson the way people eulogized Elvis because they don't know how they feel about the man.

You are right Elvis did not have the same allegations as Michael Jackson did everyone just looked the other way when a 24 year old Elvis started dating a 14 year old Priscilla.

I didn't grow up with Elvis, but I did with MJ. I'll tell you this much, the media with the advent of the Internet today, is much different than yesterday's.

MJ won't go down in history as the best person that walked this earth, but he certainly will be the King of Pop, that can't be denied.

The way I see it. People make way to big a deal about celebrities and all that they do. Yeah, they die, the are human. I would rather morn the death of someone who changed the world for the better, not someone who made movies, music and got rich.

they really didn't look the other way.
older guys marrying young women/girls was not really that uncommon in certain areas in the US..back in the day...so to speak.

he met Priscilla in the late 50's and were married in late 60's.


often these marriages were with the approval of the parents ,who probably married early in age.
cultures change, so did life expectancy.
you were considered over the hill at 30 then..

Parents approval or not culture or not it is still IMO child endangerement at its least, but I digress. I wold like to know just how much urging the coroner had from the Police officials in this case.
