Thread: Michael Jackson overkill = ENOUGH!!!!!!

The solution:

Classic FM - Classical Music Radio Station

Never sounded so good since yesterday.

The likes of Classic FM & Smooth Radio really does make a refreshing change from wall to wall Jackson at the moment

Farrah Fawcett's funeral is on Tuesday which was mentioned on Sky News in relation to when Michael Jackson will be buried. Wonder if Elvis would have attracted this much publicity?

Yeah, but Smooth is running the Saturday evening usual Motown spot on Jackson tonight. (and they have been slipping the odd one too.

Yes. If the Internet and the media had had as much reach as they do now, it would have been even worse, I think. Ditto Marylin. JFK. Janis Joplin. Hendrix. Morrison. The vultures just can't get enough and now they can circle further and wider.

I'm sure I'm not the only one amused by the irony of starting a thread related to Michael Jackson in which the focus is placed on being sick of exposure to...um...Michael Jackson.

indeed.

just leave the guy rest, and move on.

I felt the same when the queen mum passed away, fair enough it was sad, but there was no mention of Spike Milligan who passed away at the same time.

I know who influenced my childhood more

Ah Spike..... Now there was a genius if ever there was one...

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and sky,
I left my vest and socks there... I wonder if they're dry

Did he have 'I told you I was ill' put on his gravestone in the end?

I'm 99.9% certain that he did.....genius till the end

One of my favourite quotes......"All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy"

Thanks for confirming that... I must pay my respects one day.

Another classic..

A family man from Siberia,
As a father was very inferior,
But one operation
revised the situation
And now he's a Mother Superior.

Well he was diagnosed Bipolar so maybe he did.. AND Prince Charles did have a great fondness for the goons so perhaps that is where the affinity lies! Eccles and Count Moriarty were in fact really played by the Queen Mum

BREAKING NEWS...... SPIKE MILLIGAN WAS THE QUEEN MUM!!!! perhaps we should alert the press I believe Castlebest has unearthed a dark secret involving royalty and celebrity!!

What a Scandal...
