Apropos of this tragedy, I once told an older friend of mine when I was much younger, if I could just make a wish, I would wish to be rich and famous. And he said to me, "No, you just want to be rich NOT rich AND famous."

These days fame is a curse, and can distort you, drive you crazy, and most importantly, can kill you. So sad that all three of these things happened to him.

We all deride people like Madonna for finding some meaning in Kaballah as a way to make sense of the crazy fishbowl she is put in, but at some point, you either make sense of it (fame) with some philosophy or it consumes you.

These gen-xer's and older stars who sought fame are no victims, but they have to realize that fame in and of itself is not what it used to be, and is nothing wise people envy anymore.

What ever happened to having the decency not to speak ill of the dead? To Tired and Old: HE WAS ACQUITTED jackass. And you weren't there. So before you go judging someone, take Michael's advice, and start with the man in the mirror....

I bet you still sing his songs too, like a hypocrit. He will live on forever as one of the greatest artists of all time, and you can't take that away with your negativity.
