Germany Says Goodbye to Michael Jackson
June 26, 2009 12:14 PM
ABC's Christel Kucharz from Germany:
Uri Geller, Swiss magician, says he used to be friends with MJ, “Very sad day for us, very sad end for him but he’s in heaven now, and he is definitely in a better place.”
Alexander Greve, MJ fan club in Magdeburg, Germany, “It’s devastating, I cried when I first heard it, now I just feel completely empty -- a day I will never forget.”
RTL’s obit is headlined, “Zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn” which best translates “Man of genius or mad man?”

MJ lived a fulfilled life. I wld guess he always wanted to leave when the ovation was loudest. That glove he wore has five fingers and those five fingers he waved all round signified 50; so 50 years?!

Correction :
"Zwischen Genie und Wahnsinn" means
"among mastermind and insanity" and is often used to describe a person/genius who can not be understood by the common people.
I don`t see it that negative... empathy is my nature
