I am sick of the Michael Jackson coverage

The old timers got addicted too. It was just kept quiet better. Not saying Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire were junkies, but it always has been rampant among the Hollywood stars.

This new 'era' of excessive abuse and the massive amounts of money and greedy vultures involved brings it all to a whole new level.

Gone are the days of glamor in Hollywood.
We get the aftermath - one giant freak show of gaudy, ugly behaved over rich attention whores.

Fuck that pain decree. I live with pain that never abates and I'm not taking anything remotely like he or any of the other junkies there do. In fact I would rather feel my pain so I don't fuck myself up under the false guise of feeling good and do something stupid to further fuck it up. I take migraine meds when I have a headache and that's it. OTC Aleve at bedtime for pain.

No, I don't buy that fine athlete and pain correlation for him. He should have been in proper pain management program with ONE good doc and physical therapy routinely. No need for a personal doctor living in the place.

Well duh, I'm not arguing with that, Marilyn Monroe was a perfect example. But it seems to be a LOT more rampant today. We've lost a lot of fine actors to drug abuse, Heath Ledger and River Phoenix just two I can think of off the top of my head.
