^Death comes in threes

I liked jacksons music just fine, but I think his death was best. He was a tortured in his own mind, and it was probably more humane this way, much like putting down a sick animal.

Sad news to hear. Especially knowing he went without first finding some sanity and enjoying life.

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.

RIP

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

370Z Purist · 06-26-2009, 01:20 AM

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

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

370Z Purist · 06-26-2009, 01:35 AM

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
