i wanted to make a thread too but i was at the gym, i went to work out and play basketball and right when i walk in the news was just like Michael Jackson has just passed away...
I was like holy sh*t, i liked his music and f all the people who called him a kid-rapist/pedophile

Steve Jobs (Apple) has been very sick lately & just received a liver transplant.

Rip

I guess we'll see about Steve Jobs. I personally dislike Apple, but for the guy to achieve his kind of success and just be plagued by health issues is just a damn shame.

Agreed on the latter part.

Thinking back to MJ, it's interesting to think what current music would be like had he not been popular. I can't think of an artist in my lifetime who's had a bigger influence on rock/rap/everything else. He created modern pop music.

The King of Pop. Hard to say he doesn't deserve it.

Maybe not dying, but jon & kate gosselin are divorcing :(

Yeah, that's some crap right there. I thought it was funny though, if you heard more about it, they had agreed to separate... and then Kate filed for divorce hours before the episode aired on the 22nd. Then she goes ahead and says, "oh I'm not ready to accept it yet, I'm going to wear my ring, love my kids, etc." If I've really heard a better example of ******** in my life, I don't remember. If you're gonna go ahead and basically do that, try to hide it from your kids (that already know), and then go ahead and just jump ahead and do whatever the hell you want... some parent. Maybe you are going in different directions, but this is bad.
She says it would have happened even if they weren't famous; I disagree. Constantly being spied upon, every small thing blown out of proportion... stardom will ruin your life. I feel bad for the kids.

I believe that McCartney already bought it back about a year ago for a fairly cheap behind-the-scene buy-back as MJ was in dire need of money about a year ago.

The king of pop...
RIP

On a side note, I bet most people here don't know the meaning of "RIP" without looking it up.

sucks someone died, RIP, but people die. I don't get the hype over it.

:iagree:
RIP- May he/she rest in peace (translated of course)
-SCORE

although i dont remember the real latin stuff anymore but IP in RIP is like IN PACE

Hahaha, you actually know the real meaning exists, at least.

If I remember correctly it's like: requiescat in pace...
which is basically the EXACT same thing. Whatever, lol.

+ 1 rep just for knowing the Latin term, hahaha

Oh good. Because "Revolution" really needed to be in a Nike commercial....
