PrintableJackson Family Doesn't Trust Michael's Doc
http://www.tmz.com/2009/0...or-murray/ Michael Jackson's family has its suspicions about Dr. Conrad Murray and what went down on the day Jackson died.
A source close to the family tells TMZ they feel Dr. Murray should not be cleared of any wrongdoing just yet. The family requested a second autopsy to find out what the last drug Jackson took was. We're told the family feels once those results are known, a criminal investigation will take place. We're also told the family is questioning Dr. Murray's abilities as a doctor. In the 911 call, first published by TMZ, the caller says Dr. Murray was performing CPR on Jackson on a bed; CPR is routinely performed on a hard surface. As our source put it, "If you're a doctor, how can you not know how to do CPR?" | |

Obama Sends Condolence Letter To Jackson Family June 28 President Barack Obama, who was faulted in some quarters for his slow and informal acknowledgement of singer Michael Jackson's death, has sent written condolences to Jackson's family, an Obama adviser said Sunday. "The president has written the family and has shared his feelings with the family," Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said on NBC's "Meet the Press." Axelrod suggested Obama was prepared to recognize Jackson at a press availability Friday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, but the aide said no reporter raised Jackson's death. The White House rebuffed reporters' requests for comment from soon after Jackson's death Thursday through Friday afternoon, when White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs offered brief comments at a daily briefing. "The president obviously believe that he was an important and magnificent performer," Axelrod said on NBC. "Obviously, he led a sad life in many ways as well but his impact is undeniable | |

bboy I don't drink either, only 2 or 3 times in my life for experimentation like 10 years ago, but I seriously did want to have a few drinks to just numb it all out even more, but everyone says that if I drank, I would be the depressive drunk and very angry, cause I don't feel like that outwardly enough. | |

I saw the lyrics to "Morphine" before he died. Some of his lyrics in the last 15 years haunts me. | |

I WANTED TO START ANOTHER THREAD CALLED "WHAT MAGAZINE COVERS DO YOU THINK MJ WILL BE MEMORIALIZED ON NEXT MONTH" For sure it will be on the weekly ones that all seem to run the same cover story - US Weekly, People, OK! But who else might do a story? Wax Poetics? Rolling Stone (as if they're still relevant... but they had a nice article for James Brown)? | |

Cinnamon234 said: Chic35 said: Hell to the naw I haven't heard that! I hope that is NOT true! SUICIDE is NEVER the answer!!!  It is. I just saw the video of a reporter stating that 7 fans have in fact killed themselves over at CNN. Absolute madness! That is not going to bring him back. What were they thinking?! My god I know they are hurting, so many of us MJ fans are, but that is not going to bring him back. I'm not surprised at all. The Michael Jackson fans on this board seem to be pretty sane but Michael Jackson has some of the most looniest fans in the world. Passing out at concerts and having their body picked up and passed from fan to fan through the endless sea of people. And that last trial was an absolute circus. Fans quitting their jobs and traveling to California so they can hang outside the courthouse. They practically lived outside the courthouse. It might as well have been their residence. I wouldn't be surprised if they had their mail forwarded there. And then that crazy ass dove lady. Absolute loony toons! Michael Jackson had become a joke for the last decade or so. Some of it had to do with him but a lot of it had to do with those loony toon fans he had. A lot of people can overlook some of his weirdness and still be a fan because stars have always been outrageous. That's just part of being a star. But when people see all these loony toon fans that have given up their jobs and personal lives just so they can follow a celebrity's every move and practically worship him like the loony toons that worshipped Jim Jones, a lot of people that may still like him but disassociate themselves from him because they don't want to be perceived as one of those loony toon fanatics. . . .

My guess is all of them. I can't imagine a magazine that has anything remotely to do with music and/or pop culture not doing a cover story. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

My homeboy and I were listening to HIStory disc 1 and drank some grey goose with some Shasta lemon lime soda mixed. Shit was nasty, I couldn't even drink half We're going to club this Friday to dance the feeling of sadness away. I think that is what Michael would've wanted. I started dancing because of him, and I'm gonna dance in his memory   Grey Goose is not for mixing!  Not trying to encourage you to drink but ghat dayum Vodka is wonderful, Absolut & Skyy aren't completely gutter but decent enough to mix. Try plain old vodka & cranberry next time... & I didn't even know they still MAKE Shasta, good Lord keep that shit away from yo lips! 
I don't drink Crown Royal, but any liquor w/ Dr. Pepper seems vile. 
. [Edited 6/28/09 3:17am] I like Vodka with tonic water with a little touch of lime juice. If mixed just right, it tastes kinda like a marguarita. But Shasta? I didn't know they still made it. I haven't seen one of those since the late 70s.

If I EVER attempt to drink again, I'll go with that Bartles and Jaymes wine cooler shit that my mom and her friends used to drink on while listening to Will Downing and Howard Hewitt...at least that shit SOUNDS like soda! Honey, you'll be lucky to even get a buzz off of wine coolers. That's like drinking kool-aid. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I'm a loony fan too, but even I know my limits about acting crazy like the dove lady, though I understand her love for him. I guess that's what love does, it makes you do things you wouldn't normally do. I channel it through music and art instead of making a big show like that. | |

[Edited 6/28/09 9:53am] If true, thank God. Yes, this is good news. Janet will handle things well. And, I think Michael trusted her much more than the rest of the family. Their relationship was strong. [Edited 6/28/09 10:14am] | |

Condolences for Michael Jackson
"I must confess I am not surprised by today's tragic news. Michael has been on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. His talent was unquestionable but so too was his discomfort with the norms of the world. A human simply cannot withstand this level of prolonged stress." -- Michael Levine, a publicist who represented Jackson when the singer was accused of molesting a child in 1993.
----- "I knew Michael as a child and watched him grow over the years. Of all the thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most outstanding. Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will never be matched." -- Dick Clark, host of the old "American Bandstand." ----- "Michael Jackson was my generation's most iconic cultural hero. Courageous, unique and incredibly talented. He'll be missed greatly." -- Russell Simmons, hip-hop entrepreneur and founder of Def-Jam Records. ----- "We have lost an icon in our industry and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family and children in this hour of sorrow that they are now going through. He will live on in my memory and most definitely through the music he shared with so many." -- Dionne Warwick, singer and Jackson's friend. ----- "Michael was a pop phenomenon who never stopped pushing the envelope of creativity. Though there were serious questions about his personal life, Michael was undoubtedly a great entertainer and his popularity spanned generations and the globe." -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. ----- "He was a true musical icon whose identifiable voice, innovative dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and sheer star power carried him from childhood to worldwide acclaim. A 13-time Grammy recipient, Michael's career transcends musical and cultural genres and his contributions will always keep him in our hearts and memories." -- Neil Portnow, National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences president. ----- "Michael Jackson was my musical God. He made me believe that all things are possible, and through real and positive music. He can live forever! I love Michael Jackson. God Bless him." -- Wyclef Jean, rapper and former member of the Fugees. ----- "Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, and our hearts are heavy, heavy here. Michael Jackson was the world's greatest entertainer but more than he was great humanitarian and a great, humble individual. The people of Gary, our hearts are full of tears because of the loss of Michael Jackson." -- Gary, Ind., Mayor Rudy Clay. ----- "I can't stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever. My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless." -- Madonna, pop star. ----- "Peace to the King. ... He was one of my childhood idols. I salute you King of Pop. You made the whole world moonwalk together." -- LL Cool J, rapper-actor. ----- "I am very sad. No one will be able to replace him. But I know that the light that he emanated from the stage will live on with all of us who saw him for what he was and always will be -- a great teacher, pure musical inspiration." -- Ricky Martin, pop star. ----- "Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life! He made me believe in magic." -- Sean "Diddy" Combs, rapper, record producer and entrepreneur. ----- "Michael Jackson will live forever through the thing that he put all of his life energy into: his music. ... Long live Michael Jackson." -- Ne-Yo, R&B singer. ----- "Michael's example of musical artistry was rooted in the proud tradition of black American music. His career trajectory -- from the working-class streets of industrial Gary, Ind., during the post-World War II boom, to the heights of the entertainment industry -- is a classic example of black American achievement, and of the American Dream." -- Benjamin Todd Jealous, NAACP president. "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children who I know were everything to him and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me." -- Lisa Marie Presley, former wife of Michael Jackson and daughter of Elvis Presley.
