He was physically fit and in the best shape of his life. He was killed off because of his conversion to Islam. Anyone influential challenging the status quo is not going to live very long.

He follows in the footsteps of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, and Tupac Shakur who were all rocking the boat and who all died in mysterious circumstances at a young age.

He was killed off by the powers-that-be, period. A shame that this isn't screamingly obvious by now.

I can think of one particular warmongering nation that has for the past several years dedicated itself to demonising Islam for political purposes who wouldn't want a superstar icon coming along and undoing all their hard work, and it ain't Iran. YOU do the math.

I agree, and I think that is the reason for Savage's blog post, the snark is directed at the news entities and the amount of time that is going to be devoted to covering MJ's death.

You're opinion is valid, just rise above the name calling.

I *wanted* updates on Iran - and information about WTF is happening in Iraq.

MJ was talented and fascinating. But all this coverage strikes me as absurd- and, in a weird way, insulting to his memory...
