Michael Jackson
So, a very talented and disturbed man dies at 50. The radio has been saturated with his songs (makes a change from Girls Aloud and other similar dirge) and people are acting as if their best friend has passed away. All very royal family, apart from when a member of the royal family dies, you have to put up with a week of non stop funeral type music everywhere, and it's dull, dull, dull.
I don't think even the most fanatical Michael Jackson fan can say that he's blameless for this, he had the talent, the money and the personal doctor and yet never realised a way to stay alive was to possibly not follow the example of Judy Garland and Elvis Presley and mess around with yourself through pills and in Jackson's case, extreme surgery.
The last time I was in the US, the TV and radio was full of commercials for pills and medication drugs. "Got heartburn, feel aching sensation in your arms, then buy these". No, those symptoms say you need a doctor, yet because all health in America has to be instantly paid for or you need massive personal insurance, I suspect many people choose to patch up any signs of injury with pills. Despite the UK's faults, thank god for the national health service.
This wasn't the case as far as Michael was concerned, it was just that nobody told him it wasn't a good idea to do those things to himself and his face. Look at how handsome he was at the time of Thriller compared to recent pictures. These "friends" and family should question their actions. "We love you Michael", they now say. Obviously not enough to stop him killing himself.
