he was just on Faux News and said his source said pills were involved.

but it lookls like MJ is dead.

I told my new roommate about the dream this AM over coffee:
(am living with an old HS chum in Tucson now...moved here last Thursday)

I was in a funeral home. The place was huge, many large rooms, much like a big house with high walls, ornate moldings, but open with caskets of dead people on showing lined against the walls so people could walk through and view all. As I was walking through and looking at all the different casket settings (some had draperies around them, almost a gypsy like effect), I heard Michael Jackson singing a new song with a Samba beat. I saw him singing, and there were four black men singing back up, and dressed in black dress pants with double rowed red piping down the outside legs and short, almost bolero/waiter type jackets, also in black with double rowed red piping around the edges. There was a huge carpeted area in front of them all, and a snack bar for visitors behind them. I was drawn to the room to listen to the music and watch Micheal sing. When he saw me, he started the music over again so I could dance to it. Suddenly, I had on a colorful patterned full circle skirt with lots of petticoats, and an off shoulder matching blouse. When Michael started the song over, I began to dance. About halfway through, some man came through a door, grabbed me by the waist and danced with me, spins and Samba dance moves, ending with the dip.

The dream ended there. After waking, I sang the tune to the song to my friend after telling her the dream. It was a lively and fun dream, especially having Michael singing his new song just for me. I still hear the tune, and as soon as my jammed thumb (jammed during the move...) is healed, I had already decided I would bring that tune to life through my guitar.

RIP, Micheal.
Your music has been a part of my life since I was young.
Your music was a big part of my dance career and jazz dance teaching classes.
Your music will continue.
The dance moves on

:cry:

before he had WAAAAAYYYYY too much bad plastic surgery.

Thank you. Will remember it.

I remember seeing him on Ed Sullivan when he was a little boy. He was fabulously talented and somehow I have always thought he seemed so sad. Must've been hard growing up in a fishbowl and having such an abusive father to boot. RIP Michael. RIP.
