SUGARLAND SHOW 4 DEAD AND 40 INJURED WHEN STAGE COLLAPSED

Before the famous country band Sugarland could perform on stage at the Indiana State Fair tonight, the stage has been struck by strong winds causing the stage to collapse and killed 4 persons while 40 were injured, reports said.

A WANE-TV reporter who was present when the incident took place described the incident and said, "The wind just picked up and the stage just caught and the roof just caught and it went up like a sail and then it crashed forward into the people standing in the front. There were people trapped underneath and everyone was running and screaming. They were asking any medics or nurses not to leave."

DR. CONRAD MURRAY MIGHT HAVE KILLED MICHAEL JACKSON

At the time of Michael Jackson's death, Thursday, June 25, 2009, Dr. Conrad Murray, his personal physician was with him and the last person who called 911 when Michael was no longer breathing however, failed to disclose his name during his call.

As a Doctor of Medicine by profession and a long time personal physician of Michael, he definitely knows the health status of his patient whether seriously ill or not;  if his patient could take prolong medication and prescription of prohibited drugs. A physician of good standing would always and by all means let his patient survive from a horrible disease. 

The tracked prescriptions of continuous medication of prohibited drugs to Michael were proven to have been a practice of Michael's doctors which was also happened  to Nicole Smith's case.

During Michael's death, law enforcers and investigators found serious sedative in his rented mansion in Los Angeles, California. The powerful sedative "Propofol" also known as Diprivan" was among the several narcotics taken by Michael which sedative is strictly prohibited for home use and only Anesthesiologists are allowed to possess. Diprivan is another kind of anesthesia that when dispensed to any person without an Anesthesiologist it would tantamount to cardiac arrest. The 50-year old Jackson had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants which was the caused of his untimely death.

The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration and California Attorney General Gerry Brown together with the Los Angeles Police are working hand-in-hand to possibly involve and hold responsible those who prescribed and dispensed these narcotics and sedatives to Michael by dispensing it under various names of patient and doctors and by also using with different aliases in order to obtain the drugs.

So sad to realize that fame is always entangled with its surrounding greedy opportune with personal interests to enrich themselves.

MAN IN THE MIRROR MICHAEL JACKSON SAYS

Since the death of Michael Jackson, last Thursday, June 25, 2009, the whole world has been mourning through all these days.

Michael whose real name is Michael Joseph Jackson  was the 7th child of the nine children of Joe and Katherine Jackson. He was born on August 29, 1958 at Gary, Indiana. His brothers were Sigmund "Jackie", Toriano "Tito", Jermaine, Marlon, Steven "Randy", and sisters Rebbie, Janet and La-Toya Jackson. He started his musical career at the age of 5 as the lead singer of Jackson 5 which was formed in 1964.

During his early childhood, he was a loner, seeking love of his family and longs a place  to call home, whose childhood having been stripped away by his driven and ambitious father, Joe Jackson. He was a lost boy, deprived of the benefits of being a child, as what other children had because in his tender age of 5, he was already with his brothers performing in the strip clubs of Gary, Indiana whom he learned that his worth was measured by the recording contracts contracted by his father.

As Michael confessed: "There is a lot of sadness in my past life. My father beat me. It was difficult to take being beaten and then going on stage. He was strict; very hard and stern. My father was a management genius. But what I really wanted was a dad."

As a teenager, Michael became painfully shy and embarrassed about his appearance after repeated taunting by his father, calling him "Big Nose". He couldn't do enough plastic surgery to escape the man he saw in the mirror who, as he matured into his 20's, began to look more and more like the father he so dreaded.

After a series of tremendous success in his musical career and after doing a Pepsi commercial of which his hair, ear and half of his face were caught by fire, he was forced to undergo on plastic surgery. It was also the beginning of transforming himself from black to white. His was transformed, so did his behavior. The man who came to be known as "Wacko Jacko" emerged.

People think they know me but they don't. Not really. Actually, I am one of the loneliest people on this earth. I cry sometimes, because it hurts. It does. To be honest, I guess you could say that it hurts to be me."

Success definitely brings on loneliness. People think you're lucky, that you have everything. They think you can go anywhere and do anything, but that's not the point. One hungers for the basic stuff," Michael confessed.

From his confessions and in respond to his long-lost quest, he bought that 2,000 acre estate and personally built his own home with complete park and amusement to fill the vacuum of what he seeks. And that's the Neverland Ranch, where he built his own mansion to live. The entire ranch was built with 22 buildings, a mansion, a zoo, movie theater, Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars, a super slide and other amusement park rides of every kid's dream which he miss during his early childhood.

Michael's death is a reflection to everyone especially the parents. Parents sometime failed to show the essence of  love and affection which their children needs. There seems to be influenced by their own caprice and ambitions that barely affects one dream of a child to be happy.

The life of Michael was even compared to Peter Pan, the eternal boy, whose star burned brightly for a time and suddenly went into dark. Life went wrong of every children when parents are away and could not be grasp anytime when they are needed.  

From my own conviction and despite of all the accusations that people had against Michael, I believe that Michael is innocent and a victim of circumstances influenced by greediness, who,   by his own tortured mind put an end of everything and succumb his life to death.
Whatever judgments people had about him and how he lived, Michael was just a man deprived of genuine love and affection which he had missed in his entire life.

Despite of his demise, Michael is a legend and his music lives forever. He will soon be frozen in time but to our minds, he is still there remain admired. 

Joe Jackson (L), the father of Michael Jackson, and Rev. Al Sharpton speak at a news conference in front of the Jackson family compound in Encino, California on June 29, 2009. Michael Jackson, "The King of Pop," died June 25 at the age of 50. The father of Michael Jackson said Monday no date had been fixed for the pop icon's funeral, revealing that a time-frame would only be known after a second autopsy is complete. Amid frenzied speculation about a possible global memorial service for the music superstar who died last week, Joe Jackson told reporters that funeral plans were still on hold.
