I was just catching up on Michael a few weeks ago, when I saw this photo of what he might have looked like without all the surgery. I don't approve of the Daily Mail on general principles, but the fellow who wrote the article seemed sympathetic. I saw the photo of Michael standing there weighing about 100 lbs and thought that he was definitely on the decline. I certainly didn't expect him to die so suddenly, though. So... normally. You'd expect that if he'd died the way he lived (or was made to live), there would have been a week or two of "Wacko Jacko: Dead or Alive?"
His death affects me more than I expected it would. He was only five years older than me, so I grew up with him in a sense; I believe I owned one of the Jackson Five's first albums, and of course I watched the Saturday morning cartoon! I guess it's just that he's always been there, and I expected him to be around a while longer.
I remember that cartoon! I still have Michael in my iPod. Greatest hits and a couple Jackson 5 hits. Thinking I need Thriller, which I don't think I ever got as a CD. Time to keep my eye out for it. I don't feel that affected by it. Celebrity deaths don't usually. So far there have only been a few that really got to me.
