Back in 2001, Music/MichaelJackson was treated as a ridiculous, pathetic freak of nature who hadn't done anything worthwhile in like twenty years. [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead Yet now he's dead [and] everyone's like: "Oh he was the greatest ever, meant so much to me"]].

->''"Elvis Presley should've been murdered in 1947; someone should've walked up to Elvis in 1947 with a .44 magnum, put the barrel of the gun right at his brainstem and pulled the trigger...so you could remember Elvis in a good way. Wouldn't it be nice to remember Elvis thin, with a big head of hair? Maybe that gold lame suit; wouldn't that be nice? Because how do you remember Elvis? You ''don't'' remember Elvis. He was found on the toilet, with his pants around his ankles and his big, fat, hairy, sweaty, king-of-rock-and-roll ass exposed to the world, and his final piece of kingly evidence floating in the toilet behind him."''
