  • Michael Jackson Dead: 10 Random Thoughts About the Passing of The King of Pop

    1. You know what I've always hated? Hearing MJ described as "the self-proclaimed King of Pop." First, I don't think it's appropriately respectful of the man who wrote Thriller; second, as far as I know, it's totally inaccurate, as I've never heard Jackson refer to himself as the "King of Pop" and, even if he did, he was only using an honorific given to him by Liz Taylor. Look, folks, if Jackson was dubbed "The King" by Cleopatra herself, who are we to question it?2. Oh, The Onion, you're al

    Those crazy kids at The Christian Science Monitor have unearthed a real gem: an interesting piece of excremental journalism from 1984, imagining how the Michael Jackson phenomenon would be viewed 25 years in to the future:The Michael Jackson phenomenon cannot be explained simply by talent or personal charm. Clearly, in certain mystical ways, Jackson expressed the '80s as few others did. How? The '80s, we see now, was a decade in search of lost innocence. After the awful disillusion of the '70s -

    ​The Los Angeles County coroner's ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide, according to the Associated Press. Officials say a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died at his rented mansion; he was apparently poisoned by an interaction between the powerful anesthetic propofol and two sedatives. Dr. Conrad Murray, a cardiologist who attended to Jacko in the weeks before his death, is the target of an LAPD investigation, authorities say. Can Phoenix New Times get some
