Michael Jackson’s death caused a massive boost in record sales. It is by no means the first time an incredible musician dies young and their death heralds an impulse to their musical career that couldn’t have been accomplished in any other way. Who has to benefit from such a thing? I think you know.
Why is the average lifespan of musicians so low? Can you honestly blame it on drugs? If you were a record label, would you not do everything you can to keep drugs away from your most celebrated musicians? But they haven’t. The motive is obvious. Musicians don’t lose value when they die, they gain value.
A particularly ruthless record company could arrange a death, like in Michael Jackson’s case. Michael’s death is still under investigation. It’s easy for a midlevel Epic Records (subsidiary of Sony Music) person, to bribe someone to do a little something for them. We know Jackson’s doctor gave him a ludicrous combination of drugs, we know clues around Hendrix’ death point towards his manager having forced pills and wine down his throat.

Was someone doing a victory dance when Michael Jackson died? Or when Elvis Presley died? Or when Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious, Charlie Parker, Hank Williams, Keith Moon or Jon Bonham died? Did someone have a hand in the suicide of Kurt Cobain or that of Ian Curtis? Who murdered Robert Johnson? How could Jeff Buckley drown? Did someone pay Mark David Chapman? Were the murders of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. a bit too ‘convenient’?
All these deaths were tragedies, some were suspicious. With record companies feeling the hurt of digital piracy, how will they keep making immense profits? Let’s see, can millions of dollars entice someone to commit an immoral act? This year it’s Michael Jackson, but other iconic music legends are under pressure to keep making headlines or risk someone’s greedy hostility. Madonna has taken the wise step to leave her record label Warner Music for promotor Live Nation, who are dependent on live events and thus depend on her remaining healthy and kicking ass.
LaToya Jackson too thinks that her brother was murdered, and that it was a conspiracy.
Well, the Bible did say that the love of money is the root of all evil. But another saying that is true is that you will reap what you sow. And what goes around comes around. I pray that what all these doctors and others did to Michael will be multiplied by 100 for them to reap! Bastards!!!!
