I am so sick of hearing about Michael Jackson being dead and turning on the TV only to be engulfed in *Breaking News* about the newest find in his case, wether it be his umpteenth false name he used found on pharmacy databases to get more prescription pain killers, or where his kids will go, or what is on his surfaced will, or any of it. I simply do not give a damn. Oh, he had a rough childhood? Welcome to America and the current modern day way of being raised. Oh, he had an addiction to painkillers? Well who's famous and not addicted to something? The point is, he is in no way a special case;
"Nearly 7 million Americans are abusing prescription drugs." - according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (or the USDEA ).
Yes, He was a talented individual who changed the music industry (not necessarily saying that I personally was a fan), yes he was a talented dancer who opened up numerous possibilties for what was to come, and yes he created a movement for his time that can't be replicated and presently we may not have come to where we are in the music industry without him. But he's dead, yes its sad, but lets move on people.
I am just sick of it being the main focus of America's News Teams, when North Korea is threatening to blow us of the face of the planet.
