There is a reason why I don’t miss any of Alfredo James “Al” Pacino’s new movies… the guy is amazing! I present bellow movie fragments with some of his speeches, which, each of them, I see as a masterpiece.
There are more than 24 hours since we’ve learned about Michael Jackson’s death. I don’t know if he will have the biggest funeral that I will ever see, as he is an international star and the people left behind may have other concerns after his death, but I know he’s the biggest icon that our generations were lucky to have. He was an innovator, musician, artist and entertainer. I think his death is bigger then Elvis Presley’s, Lady Diana’s and Pope John Paul II’s, all together.
I’m not going to write on his career, as I’m sure you already know or you can easily find out. Instead, I want to comment on what everybody’s asking right now… Why did he die?
We can wait for doctors and police to tell us, after the investigations will end, if it was suicide, drug abuse, lethal disease, murder or natural death, but the real reason is that we killed him, the stupid humans that are buying tabloids and watching TV channels like CNN, BBC, ABC, FOX, etc, etc. I would see no problems with this, if this kind of media was to make him big, just like they did for example with Britney Spears. The tragedy with Michael Jackson is they had no merit in his achievements. In the early ’80s, MTV had to “endure” a lot of pressure and to wait for Thriller to be released in order to air Michael’s music. Why? Well… because he was afro-american.
As we all know, he was just rehearsing for his latest tour when he died, supposed to begin in a month. Why was he going to return to live performance since he didn’t tour in more than a decade? Well… because he was broke, as the above media is saying.
Why the hell did the man, for which some invented the word “megastar”, get broke? Fancy brains will speculate that “he spent too much”, “he lost money with lawsuits”, “he spent on building the Neverland ranch”, “he hired too many bodyguards”… or that he was no financial genius. Not true at all. After having such success you don’t have to be a financial genius not to get broke. He loved luxury, that’s true, but this is not the reason either. I think the reason is that he got sucked. Many people in his entourage sucked him… (they had what, as the attitude he used to show in concerts and video clips is betraying some big balls ) :
- his producers/promoters (I just saw some of them interviewed… they were not giving a shit, as probably they were not sucking him for long time already)
- many of his “friends”
- Sony
- his financial advisers
- his family (with distinctive merits to his father)
- the children’s parents (and Thomas Sneddon) that tried to (some did) obtain millions from him, accusing him of child molestation
- the scandal newspapers and journalists (Martin Bashir anyone?)
- all the shitty TV stations. They are actually sucking him hard as I write this. One hour ago, on CNN, “Larry King Live”, was having Usher between his remote guests, on what was promoted as a tribute show to Michael Jackson. After 10 minutes into the show Usher asked “why are you guys discussing about his addictions? I though we are going to pay him a tribute…”. Larry King thanked him right away for coming in and let him know he will be invited again soon. WTF was that? Of course they continued the show with the same shit, as this is bringing the masses, and the masses are bringing the money.
In the hood
Frame him if you could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if you will
If he dies sympathize
Such false witnesses
Damn self righteousness
In the black
Stab me in the back
In the face
To lie and shame the race
Heroine and Marilyn

Why every known figure that’s being asked right now is saying how much he/she loved Michael Jackson and how close friends they were? Then, if you all loved him so much, why did he say he’s feeling lonely? Couldn’t you share the pretended love with him? Was he not referring to people around him? Ohhh, no, this is exactly what he was referring to. Check the interview bellow for more details. I think Michael Jackson was the most sucked man ever. He didn’t know about that (or maybe he loved it… after all, who wouldn’t? ), as he was living in his own fantasy (another reason for the people around him to see only his money). He was a stupid genius, an expert not only in creating his music/shows, but also in surrounding himself with enablers… enablers that had a great contribution in killing the golden goose. As Debbie Rowe (the mother of his first two children) and John Branca (one of his lawyers) said, we can easily reproach him he didn’t know how to choose people around him, or he didn’t think for himself… but I’m not sure if he was to do that, he was going to create what he created. In the beginning, his achievements were due to himself (99%) and to the greed of his staff (1%). Gradually that 1% increased by gathering the greed of media, and in the end destroyed him, more then 10 years ago. When there was no media, artists were creating till the last day of their lives. Just think about Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Mozart, Beethoven, Einstein, etc…. I can add here tons of geniuses that continued their work on the death bed. After today’s aggressive media occurred, it’s easier to find a genius that didn’t die in his bad, than to find one who was happy with his life till the end. When are the human’s genes going to change in order not to have demand for the actual type of media? Probably not soon, as we are trapped in with it… and the more stupidity we want to receive, the more stupid we become.
On the other had, Michael Jackson was loved, he gained the love of millions of people, his fans. Thanks Michael!
Off topic - Yesterday we found the answer on how many people it takes to get the internet down. Just one, Michael Jackson! In three hours after his death, some of the biggest internet businesses went down: Google News, AIM, Twitter and many more. Everybody was searching/discussing about Michael Jackson’s death.
