Holy crap man. Ed McMahon, Farrah, and MJ??? What is going on here. Probably plastic poisoning for MJ, but still a loss of a real talent no matter how eccentric or weird he became.

Shame. Maybe now he can be remembered the way he was rather than what he became, much like Elvis.

Word.

Maybe now he can be remembered the way he was rather than what he became,

Very true

Very well said.

Yes, I remember the glove and the parachute pants and the videos as a kid - he effected a generation.

Whatever he became...

RIP.

They say things come in 3's.... Pretty wild.

I wasn't a MJ fan, but he reminds me of my childhood, when I used to watch "Thriller" on my vcr.
RIP

O_O ... I learned this morning that he died !

I've really loved his music back in the days and still appreciate it now. He has always been a very talented person although he was put in front of the media scene for other things in the last years.

RIP

RIP MJ

BAD was the first record i ever bought...

But as Dann said maybe this is the way it had to end,
it´s better for a legend to die young...

damn.. the legend.. no matter who you were, back in the 80's you listened to mj

i saw MJ live at wembley in the uk in 1996-awesome and unrivalved.
whatever people say about him-he was the undisputed king and now another legend to join the others who have passed on.

Actually, in the 80's I absolutely despised MJ's music. Couldn't stand every time you turned on MTV or a radio something was playing. Didn't help that I was a hardcore Metal Head and would rather crank up some Iron Maiden, but still. However, in 2000/01, as I built my first serious competition audio system in my old Jetta, I picked up the History CD set and was hooked. Not for the songs, beats, or whatever, but the quality. His music was produced very very well, and sounded awesome in my car. He was a great artist no matter what, and his music will live on for many generations. The man had immense talent regardless and did many good things for people around the world and deserves much respect for that.

R.I.P. Billy Mays....Found dead in his home today by his wife. What will the world do now without the famous OxiClean man

What's going on lately?

Yeah really. I mean think of it, all the financial scum of the earth are still alive and look at how many lives they have destroyed, yet the ones who touched people's lives, made good in the world, and were important to a degree have passed early and suddenly.

Check out TMZ.com...they have the interview from last night with him...apparently, the plane he was on landed roughly and he hit his head on the ceiling (since he wasn't wearing a seatbelt during landing)...he was fine that night but was found dead this morning. Sad. :(

That sounds like what happened to Liam Neeson's wife bumping into the tree on the bunny hill.

Mays' ESPN360.com ad was hilarious....good humorous take on what he did.

Every time that slider grill or pancake puff thing come on I have a hard time not being one of the "next fifty callers."

But wait....I guess there isn't anything more. Sad.

sounds like cerebral compression, a bump to the head causing a bleed inside the skull, over time the pressure builds up on the brain and causes the person to collapse, often a delayed response to initial injury-very sad-i often see it.

patrick swazy might go this year too, he looks pretty bad and the cancer he has is pretty deadly.. he is the man too

point break is one of my favorite movies

that would be a shame too-point break-what a classic to go alongside road house.

jesus.. billy mays found dead... wtf 2009?

Very true. I love Roadhouse and he is a great actor. Too bad for all of them. Just not a good year for anyone. Economy still tanking, homes still being lost, jobs suck, and good people passing away too soon! Damn what a year already.

I just watched Mays on The Tonight Show... I think that was Friday.

Former Tennessee Titans Quarterback Steve McNair, a seriously tough guy who played through tons of injuries, and came up about 1 yard short of forcing OT against the St Louis Rams in the Super Bowl. Found shot to death with a female in a condo in Nashville. So much for that rule of 3....or it is just another 3.

Very tragic....RIP Steve, a super tough leader and MVP.

Things get crazier and crazier. Condolences to the families.
