>June 26, 2009
This was made in less than a day.

i was jacking off but right before i climaxed my dad came in and said "son michael jackson is dead" and then i shot jizz all over my stomach

I was on a bus and told an MJ pedo joke to my friend I killed him it was me I'm sorry mom

I remember being in Moe's (the restaurant) then the manager came out and changed the channel on the TV to the news, a couple of black people who were actually started crying and called their families. Thought it was kind of weird since I never listened to him past his popular singles.
Smooth Criminal is a fun song though, I got high and did a karaoke of it one time.

Farrah Fawcett died earlier that day, and so I was watching her appearance on The Dating Show or whatever it was called. In the sidebar of related videos there was one that featured Michael Jackson when he was about 12 years old. I decided to watch that one next because I thought that would be cool
I think he died an hour later. I was told by my aunt that they had the radio on while my little brother was getting a haircut at the barbershop, and they broke the news that he had been rushed to the hospital. We turned on the news and within minutes they had confirmation that he was dead

I enjoyed Michael Jackson when I was a kid, he would sometimes come to my house and give me his secret chocolate milk recipe, I would usually take a nap afterwards and wake up with a wicked bad ass pain though, my doctor could never figure it out.

>I enjoyed Michael Jackson when I was a kid

I was in an intro English lit class. The professor announced it, and I remember thinking "Damn, never followed sports much but I'm gonna have to watch Space Jam again now"

>Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, Lemmy, David Bowie, and Prince are all dead

I was on a bus to New York and my sister texted me saying they upgraded our cell phone plane to have texting, and that MJ also had died.

Don't forget Bernie Worrell.

It was a warm, sunny June day. I remember it with great clarity because I'd been upstairs at the window snooping on my 13 year old neighbor swimming and then I come downstairs and my mom has the TV on and they're all like breaking news Michael Jackson is kill and I'm like "Damn."

At least half the people on that list weren't any great loss.

Lou Reed too

lol totally forgotten about him

I didn't even realize the significance of the date, but I just finished plaything through the Moonwalker game on Genesis, just because I had a spontaneous urge to dust the system off, and the game was near the top of my stack.

AAAAAAAAAAH

I was playing Halo 2 and my mom came in and told me he was dead. I always remember that when I play it.

I was listening to the kills 'Last Day of Magic' and my girlfriend came up and told me, crazy

My little brother came up to tell me that MJ was kill

Funny thing is I hated him with all my fiber telling me this and I wanted to punch him.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>he forgot 3pac
>mfw

I expected Prince to last until 70-80, at least.

I can't believe that Madonna is still alive.

I was at a Boy Scout camp lel. It was a week long summer camp.

No one was allowed phones so everyone assumed it was just a rumour being spread around camp.

First thing I did when I got home is google Michael Jackson to see if it was true or not, and it was.

same. that shocked me more than bowie and lemmy.

rat-tat-tat-tat-TAT

(dass juss the way eetees)

underrated

>On summer vacation with family
>Hear that he died, I understood why that sucked, but I wasn't a fan of his music, so I didn't really care
>Legitimately more upset when Billy Mays died three days later

>no "micheal jacskon is kill" post yet
"No"

I'm guessing most people on Sup Forums werent born yet.

>Keith Emerson shot himself in the head

I was sitting in the field at a white sox game. First we heard everybody around us talking about it and I thought it was rumor bullshit.

It was kind of surreal because by the end of the game any convo you'd hear from other people was about the death. It was verbal wildfire.

i remember VH1 and MTV just played MJ music videos and documentaries non stop for the entire fucking day
and all the "RIP King Of Pop" T-Shirts that followed for the next fucking year it felt like

>Where were you when you first heard the news?
on Sup Forums
>How did you react?
I was glad
>What's your favorite Michael Jackson album?
He has albums other then Thriller?
>Favorite MJ song?
Smooth Criminal
>How do you view Michael Jackson as a performer,
shit
>musician
shit
>human being?
when he's not raping little kids or getting surgery to make himself white he seems like a nice guy.

Used to follow Perez Hilton on twitter (not much to follow back then) and he tweeted he had a heart attack, went on his site and Perez was all "We knew it, he wouldn't find the way to bail from this comeback tour". Then everyone reported he actually died and Perez deleted the post and started acting all heart broken. Piece of human shit should've been him that died, not MJ.

I'm glad he's dead. Disgusting pedophile piece of shit. If only he died before he molested those kids.

yes holy shit
BET, Centric, Vh1 Classic, MTV Hits, MTV, MTV2, VH1, it was all non-stop Michael Jackson. I have really fond memories of that day, even though it was so sad. I discovered a lot of great, great music.

>He has albums other then Thriller?
>Favorite song Smooth Criminal
Fuck off

>mentions Whitney Houston
>doesn't mention Lou Reed
Seriously? Whitney's music was trendy pop that wasn't interesting or innovative in anyway. She didn't even write any of it. Lou was an extremely influential innovator who changed music forever with The Velvet Underground.

I was in my house posting on Sup Forums

>tfw I'm still in my house posting on Sup Forums 7 years later

I wonder if there'll be any new michael jackson documentaries released today

top kek

Giving zero hoots in heaven :(

I can't remember what I was doing on that day but I remember the exact day before it:

I was at my friends house and I brought over this Family Guy Boxset and we were laughing our asses of as my friend and I were 15 and then one of the episodes they went to Disney World and there was a "3D Michael Jackson" performance and Peter goes "Wow it's so lifelike" and the 'gag' was the "3D" Michael runs and grabs a little boy from the audience. After this my friend goes "Haha that's so funny, Jacko is such a paedo I'll be glad when he dies", I saw him a week after this and he went on about how sad his death was.

>not realizing Off the Wall was the best album
Fuck off pal

I remember all the jokes in the wake of his death, "Guess his heart just couldn't Beat It" and stuff like that.

>post yfw he had a sex dungeon hidden behind his closet

UUUUUUUUUUHHH

you guys always forget Pierre Boulez :'(
