I've had the jokes all weekend. People/family members texting me even though they know I was a HUGE fan. THAT is disrespectful. I don't find one of them funny. I'm not demanding anyone respects him themselves but I am demanding they respect my right to feel sad and not want to read crass jokes. The "get over it" "god he was only a singer" "it's not like you knew him" comments. AGAIN disrespectful to me and I feel it's the same on a forum. If someone is telling you how sad it makes them feel then nobody should go into a thread posting jokes and telling them to get over it etc. There is a time and a place.
Aw Cagney, family & friends can be funny like that, I've had it myself when I was sad about a death that they didn't find important.
I think I was vocal enough that they now know not to do it again
I've felt a bit deflated since it happened. Not weeping and wailing...just deflated. Does that make sense? His music has so many memories attached to it for me. My friend is getting married soon and we were due to start learning the Thriller dance for her wedding reception
I told my friends/family that if they want to slag him or make jokes find someone else to listen. Same on the forum IMO. Find a thread where there are likeminded people
Reckon you should still do the Thriller dance at the wedding
