As one who has no interest WHATSOEVER in popular music, the news left me sad but not grief-stricken. But my husband pointed out that MJ was a spectacular artist -- he has seen his performances live - not I -- and said that it is not hard to understand why in Britain MJ is considered second to only the Beatles by many British fans, and fans around the world. The BBC online had some innovative coverage this morning. So yes, it has to be a great loss for many people for many reasons.

P/S he enjoyed a long career and you can see that even as a kid he had a big voice.

I am aware of this. That is why his brother Jermaine said to him at his death, May Allah be with you. So now we can speculate that Divine Hari knew what he was doing (per usual) and took Michael according to His ordinance.

I never believed those charges either and think it was all about preying on a celebrity for monetary gain. And it is easy to shoot a visible target.

Indeed.

He was a complex individual. I remember the Martin Bashir interview, where he went into a shop, and started saying, I want that , I want that, and this and this and this. I thought to myself......this is what my kids do in a shop? Peter Pan comes to mind.

He did some strange things, like his plastic surgery and colour change, but that to me seems to be from him not being happy with his appearance rather than a racial thing.

The British media! They are weirdos that hound people constantly but start to act respectful when the person has passed away.

We normally have a policy of posting complete shabads. Be careful not to be holier than thou..brother/sister.

Any person with a little bit of heart can easily see the saddness in his eyes. If you watch his videos from childhood on,you can see the change of his soul. In stead of calling someone who is know longer present on this earth horrible names we should pray wherever he goes that God bestows his Grace on him. Also we should look in our own closets before pointing fingers. We are the last to judge ourselves.

Indeed Susan.

Once people were swearing at Jesus and all he did was bless them back. One of his followers said, why are you blessing them, and Jesus replied I can only spend what is in my purse. He had, love and kindness for his fellow man.

Unfortunately some people only have hate and nastiness for there fellow man. We can only pray for such misfortunates....

Deleted one line of shabad. Please always remember to post shabad and Ang number. Thank you, aad0002

a couple of questions

where does gurbani say that a death should be grieved over? doesn't it says the opposite? yet the statement that the death of a manmukh is "a sad day" doesn't seem to catch anyone's look.

and are sikh even allowed to listen to wordly music?
