Michael Jackson: On the scene outside UCLA Medical Center

Outside UCLA Medical Center, where Michael Jackson was pronounced dead earlier today, the crowd has been growing for hours. In the middle of about 500 fans and journalists, an argument broke out between a hardcore fan and another man. The fan, who had brought his boom box to blast Jackson’s “Heal the World,” was telling EW.com how much Jackson had changed the face of music when another man approached the fan and said, “You’re full of s—!  Do you think he was a good man or that he was good for children unfortunate enough to cross his path?” The fan looked furious, but responded, “I choose to look at the positive.”

Across the street from the medical center, the fraternity brothers at UCLA’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon house were choosing to look at the positive, too. They opened their doors and windows and began blaring Jackson music for the crowd. “We know that a lot of people out here care about him,” said SAE member, Edwin Alvarado, 20. “So we thought we might as well play music for them, and as a way to commemorate him.” Asked if Alvarado and his pals had dug through old CDs to find the Jackson tunes, Alvardo said no. “We all have his songs on our iPods.” (Reported by Christine Spines and John Young)

    I’m so so sad. I really loved his music. He was so talented.
    I pray for his family during this
    most difficult time.

    He will not be remembered kindly by a lot of people. I’m sure his family cared for him, but now they can stop living in his shadow. He owed so many people money….I’m surprised he lived this long.

    Es muy triste esta noticia, toda una consternación, siempre viviras como “El Gran Rey del Pop” y todo el legado que dejaste. Muy aparte de todo lo que se dijo o no se dijo de él, culpable o no! pero igual era un Gran Idolo y eso hay que reconocerlo… Paz a sus restos y mis respetos a su muerte.

    MICHAEL IS NOW AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN, AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY THIS HAPPENED. YOU WERE TRULY A GIFT FROM GOD, AND NOW GOD WANTED YOU BACK WITH HIM. NO ONE WILL EVER HURT YOU OR AGAIN, YOU ARE NOW AT PEACE. MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY YOUR THREE CHILDREN, NOW HAVE LOST THEIR “DADDY”. I WILL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE ONE DAY MICHAEL. ALL THOSE MEDIA HANDLERS, NEGATIVE PEOPLE WANTED MONEY FROM YOU, CAN NOW LOOK BACK AND SAY THAT THEY CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR DEMISE. IF YOU HAD NOT BEEN WORRYING ABOUT A COMEBACK, YOU WOULD STILL BE HERE HEALTHY, MY HEART IS HURT AND IT WILL HURT FOR A LONG TIME. YOU ARE THE KING OF POP, AND YOU ARE GONE TOO SOON. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. MY SON WAS NAMED AFTER YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE SPECIAL, THAT’S WHAT I’VE TOLD MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL!!!
