To the I-dont-care-he-is-dead brigade, why bother even posting if it doesn't affect you ? Will you say the same if one of your close friend died ? Like "Yeah thousands of people die everyday, so this isn't something to make a big deal of". Gimme a ******* break.
If a close friend died I'd be devastated. Of course! Actually, that is our point, and judging by your first sentence you missed it.
Want to know why I posted?
a) Because I can and this is an internet forum.
b) I hate that everybody suddenly forgot how he was a pedophile, how disrespectful and offensive he used to be, etc. [Come on, he spent millions on lawyers and still had to settle for expensive out of court agreements. Is that the best you can do to prove your innocence when you have the best lawyers in the world?]
c) How hypocritical is it that the same media (and people in general) that made his life a living hell are the same that now are hailing him as a dead King?
d) We didn't know him. It's a shame when someone talented dies, but that is about it.
e) He hasn't made any relevant music since 1991. Probably before most of you were even born!
f) We need to focus on what's going on in Iran. This M. Carlos*son death is as futile as it is overwhelming, and served the Iranian government well.
g) Oh, he was so sad and lonely. Come on, the guy had THREE children. I'd say that is more than enough to keep you entertained, if you are responsible for their education and well being in general.
I think I can go all the way through j), but I'm hungry right now.
