Life is pretty Ironic huh?

5. I doubt it, people that hate child molesters in that jail would have killed him.

The thing I find confusing is that people are surprised the guy died fairly young.

His downward spiral has been decades long.

The other thing I find surprising is that people are surprised when they find out some celebrity or famous person of means is abusing drugs.

The surprising thing would be finding a wealthy person that doesn't.

10. He'd have been placed apart from the general population, like Martha Stewart

The rich and famous often have different jails from the rest of us.

16. Martha Stewart was part of the general population in a woman's prison.

She wasn't in a special place.

2. ...or if he listened to his friend Deepak Chopra...

...who tried to get him off the drugs, according to his interview w/ KO last night.

3. Don't think he would have survived jail as a child molester.

Probably the only thing that could have saved him was not burning through all of his money.

6. Unhappiness = Drugs + Shopping + giving it away

Many people that make a lot of money don't feel they "deserve" it. So they unload it on whatever vice is handy.

He was running out of money... so had to go back to what made him the money... train for concert tour... drugs to ease the pain from performing (he did have legitimate pain from dancing)... old age and out of shape... heart attack.

14. Yeah, to go out and do a dance and singing performance

for 2 or 3 hours, especially one as athletic as MJs... 50 is old.

I just turned 53. And I know I can't do things that I could even 10 years ago.

50 is old for performers. MJ wasn't the type of performer to go out and sit on a stool and sing for a few numbers.

I think she's over 60 and can still perform well.

19. But not like she used to... and she kept performing, whereas MJ

has been in virtual retirement for nearly at least 6 or 8 years.

And MJ had always been a bit frail.

Anyway, let's just say he was feeling his age.

7. Yeah 'cause like nobody dies in jail.

Through accident, disease, suicide, negligence, brutality, or just normal wear and tear. For sure, nobody (if this was even related to Michael's death) has medical complications from drug abuse that result in death. Never happens. Well hardly ever. Well not as often as outside jail. Well....

Yeah never mind. Exactly.
