Michael Jackson, the record-breaking, sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer, and the tabloid world's most disturbing celebrity, has died. He was 50.A person with knowledge of the situation says Jackson died Thursday in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.
His death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

RIP Mike. You made this world a better place. Some say your image was tainted. Not me. I invite anyone who has not done anything wrong or perceivably wrong be the first to call you out. Posted by Wayne on 6/26/2009 |

It’s too bad that Michael Jackson lived long enough to taint his own image. Michael Jackson was the greatest performer of all time; second to maybe only Elvis. That Michael Jackson, the musician whom I listen to almost daily, did not die today: A fallen star did. As long as we can divorce performers’ personal lives from their careers, Michael Jackson will forever remain one of the greats. Posted by Morgan Kelly on 6/25/2009 |

Why do you not think this is local news? No one in Georgetown listened to Michael Jackson? Pedophile or not, he was a superstar and it is news in every community because most people above the age of 18 grew up with his music. Posted by on 6/25/2009 |
