Actually, this thread is all about paying respect to his life, not his death. Most who answered in this thread has respected his music and accomplishments for years, if not decades. This isn't a moron that had a shithole series like Heidi and Sphincter's "Boot Hill" (or whatever it's called) . Michael was a man whose carreer spanned 4 decades internationally.

If you question his talent or impact on music, entertainment, society, and all those charities he supported, you are seeing his world through malice-tinted glasses.

If you didn't understand or appreciate his music, doubtful you will understand the billions of people now paying tribute to his musical genius.
