I didn't think they were comparing the circumstances, their comparing the level of tragedy. I don't think that's comparable. Sorry.

No, and it was obvious what they were comparing and the level of tragedy was far from it. It seems like you're avoiding their main point.

I don't think you should compare 9/11 or the Holocaust to the death of Michael Jackson. I find THAT to be much more insensitive than anything I've said. But to each their own.

I just think he and his music didn't touch your life the way it did to lots of us.

It didn't touch my life much either (At least until today...funny how that works, eh? ), but I still get it. "Legendary" really doesn't seem sufficient enough to describe his career and his life.

I may not get the MJ thing like a lot of people here did, but I definitely understand the uproar. There are some artists who have moved me so much with their work that I would be just as devastated if something happened to them. I like some music more than I like most people, so I definitely can't criticize anyone for how they're handling this.
