WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD THAT MICHAEL JACKSON DIED???
Sorry people, I don't mean to go MJ thread crazy, but I was just wondering what everyone was doing at the moment they first heard it. I mean, it's like one of those moments that'll go down in history because of how monumental it was. Almost like hearing of a president dying. I haven't lived through any major assasinations, but, I know I can remember what I was doing during other events, like 9/11 attacks (in geometry at hs), but as for when I heard that MJ died........
I was washing dishes when the phone rang. My girl was sittin on the couch listening to her ipod and reading a book (don't ask how). Had to dry my hands off to pick up. I thought my boy was callin to talk sports (NBA Draft), but he just basically came out and said "Mike dead". I listened to him talk about how great "Man In the Mirror" was a few minutes before I finally got off the phone to get my own confirmation. Turned it on CNN, and there it was................what were you doing and what was your first reaction?

I got on my yahoo messenger and a friend of mine IMed me like "Yo MJ died!" I said, "you don't mess around like that about Michael Jackson, you know that right?". He swore he died, and he was so sad it was his son b-day. I went to all kinds of sites and read that Mike died and I hadnt even heard about him being rushed into the hospital... It didn't hit me till about 10 mins after I heard it, it was just soo surreal...Even though CNN hadn't confirmed it, I knew Mike was gone though... just a feeling.. I still couldnt get myself together...

Yeah, I know. It's still kinda hard to believe. I didn't hear about him being rushed to the hospital either. I had the tv on ESPN waitin on the draft and washin dishes. But, when I turned it, I seen that ESPN was pretty much one of the only channels not covering it.

Yeah man. The news spread quick homey. Everybody was callin everybody, hell, I know I text 6 people when I found out. I was hopin my boy was jokin when he called, but he wouldn't call out the blue with no b******* like that. I knew it was real. At first I was tryna be in that "oh well" attitude, but I couldn't do it wit Mike. Growing up listening to all his music, damn.

Co-sign. I don't even think they should put the funeral on tv. Not after how much the media ridiculed him.
