Death of Michael Jackson vs death of Elvis

Pretty sad, all my prayers go to Jackson family. I know thats when Elvis died I cried for days although I am much older now I still feel tears as I know this great King of pop is now gone at age 50. God be with his family as I know this must be even harder for them. God bless each and everyone of you Jackson family.

Both Kings died extremely young. Really heartbreaking... =/

Michael Jackson was a part of my pre teen and teenage years. I remember me and my gf stephanie who I haven't seen in years doing dance routines to Thriller, and skating to Beat it at the skating rink on Friday nights..... I thought he got pretty out there in the last several years, but remembering his music brought back such fond memories of a fun and youthful time in my life. I was saddened when I heard he had died today. Then I sat and thought of how we just loved his music years ago. I hope he's remembered for that more than anything.

OMG!  Elvis died too?

No, Elvis did not die, he just went home.

Last time I checked, Elvis was still alive.  So is this one.  And this guy.

And you gotta wonder about all the other people named Michael Jackson.  I wonder how weird it feels to see recent headlines.

Splitrail is right, Elvis isn't dead, I saw him at McDonald's eating french fries on Tuesday!

I'll be the first to start the Michael Jackson conspiracy hypothesis..

Michael Jackson isn't dead.  His death has been faked in order for him to escape his debts and bad publicity.

 He didn't die, he has just left the building.

With a screen name like lizardking, I am surprised you aren't bringing up the early death of Jim Morrison as well.

Ha, that's what I thought.

It must be terrible losing someone so inspirational/important to you.

I cried when John Lennon died and I wasn't even alive

I actually sadly hope this is true too. =P

He's having an autopsy done today... my guess is prescription pills (I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it).

Sort of.  Since they're both really alive, just living in the underground world of immortal celebrities, Elvis is going to kick Michaels girlie *** for the whole Lisa Marie thing.  

ok, but is it leather Elvis, or Vegas Elvis, and is it Beat it MJ, or dancin' on the roof of the 'acquittal' SUV MJ?
