Comment: Grace I can understand where he's coming from. Several people of note that he knew have died recently. Grief is a very strong emotion and at his age it could kill him. Short of that it takes a heavy toll and time to recover and that all takes a lot of energy.
I had forgotten how old Q an'nem were but since this horrific tragedy I've been seeing them - they are all aging and some have gotten as old as zoo dirt!

Comment: McNasty, it is VERY eerie that just a few months ago, I was going through my telephone book when I realized that I had several names in there of people who had passed away. (I started a new book entirely.) I began thinking though, "Now I am approaching the age when I'm going to start seeing acquaintances passing away." While the people in the phone book were all several years older than me, and some old enough to be my parent, THAT did not shock me so much as the death of Michael Jackson because I am in the same age group. I have heard two of his siblings and his father refer to his passing, but I have not processed it YET.

Comment: DCGG, I dont think Qunicy is being selfish at all. Part of growing old is witnessing people you know die before you and its painful. My neighbor who is a elderly 80+ year old woman vowed to never go to another funeral again after she her son passed last year. In the course of her lifetime she buried 2 children, a husband and friends.

Comment: Bvllshit, if he can handle being married to a white woman in the 60's & 70's, he can handle this....He just doesn't want to be "in" "cluded" with the stooges Al, Jesse & Joe. Do the average...mourn in your own way.

Comment: I can understand Q's point of view. Hell, I've lost a lot of folk I've known through the years that were damned special. Ain't a day don't go buy I don't think of some of them in some form or fashion, so I can dig it.

Comment: Grace I have yet to go through my phone book, I keep meaning to but maybe subconsciously I know what I will find. I didn't think about the time in my life when I'd be talking about all the dead friends and acquaintances I have.
I find myself alone and I say out loud 'Michael Jackson is dead' to hear it in my ears because I talk about it but I still can't believe it.

Comment: I certainly understand and respect that Quincy does not want to attend another funeral. For those insensitive enough to know what is best for someone else, I ask that you consider that grieving is a uniquely personal experience. It is daunting to have to bury someone you love. Not attending funeral services hardly negates how deep that love is/was. And as you grow older, it is even more difficult because you cannot hardly avoid facing your own mortality, it is heartbreaking and it is a ritual, not a requirement.

Comment: I can understand where Q is coming from. I can just imagine the devastation he is going through. When u get older and seeing people leave it gets lonely and scary because you know soon you will be departing. I'm thirty something and went to three funerals last week.

Comment: Poor Q. I totally understand. I am the same way! Its not being selfish, its recognizing that your time on this earth could be over in a minute, second. God has already made his plans for you.

Comment: I agree with all of your comments sans DCGG...I have a family member that was so utterly devastated when he lost his daughter who was killed by her boyfriend that he could not attend her funeral. People were fearful that he would have a heart attack...so I definitely feel Q on this one...it's not selfish..we all mourn in our own way. "For some it may be best to remember that person the way they knew them, not in a box." (my grandma's words)

Comment: Going to funerals is to support the living. Michael knew how much Q loved and cared about him. He understands that. Sending his condolences and being there for the family if they need it after is just as good as if not better than showing up in black at the funeral. I know people who don't even want a funeral. I want one but only so I can show up late for it since people get on me for showing up late to everything else. How many times have I heard, "If you can be on time for work, you can be on time for church!" but I'm never on time for work (got here a 1/2 hour late this morning) or "You're gonna be late to your own funeral!"...Well, I want to be late to my own funeral. I'm gonna put it in my will. Wheel my happy dead azz in there late after e'rybody's already there. That's what I want. And on my stone "Here lies QB, who was late to her own funeral and late getting down in here too. RIP"

Comment: If Q hadn't mentioned his reasoning for not attending then people would have been questioning his whereabouts anyway. He cleared the air and bared his soul. He loved and still loves Michael and that is evident in his actions and words through the years of supporting Michael.

Comment: Funerals are for the living, not the dead so each person has to do what's best for them. I had an older aunt who didn't attend her daugher's funeral; they are just do much for some people especially as they get older

Comment: Quincy is doing what he has to do. Better he stay away than get to the services and be unable to control his grief and distract the family. And yes, funerals are for the living which is why is SO FOOLISH for non-King of Pop musical legends to spend thousands of dollars on funerals to impress folk. Anyhoo: I wanted to ask about Quincy's requests for songs: a "Black rock and roll" song and a "begging" song.... Moreso the Black rock and roll song: why does it have to be that? But then again, Quincy has already proven himself as a stellar record maker....

Comment: Ain't Q like 102 years old? LOL, just jokes but his azz is pretty up there in age. It REALLY may be too much for him to continue to attend the funerals of those who were once close to him. Things affect folks in different ways. Cut him some slack. That man has been through and seen some things in his lifetime.....

Comment: Wow, I guess seniors should receive a pass on attending funerals, but at the same time, I feel it's highly disrespectful not to attend the funeral of a close friend or family member. I think when people are in good health and sound mind and if they don't attend a funeral, they didn't wanna be bothered with the crowd.

Comment: aaliyah's father didn't attend her funeral.....it wasn't because he didn't love her it was because he couldn't take burying his baby girl. some people just can't take funerals especially when it's someone that is close to them.

Comment: WordUp that makes no sense. People from way back have gone through this same thing and damn! people have to do what they feel is best for themselves. There ain't a damn thing in death that this old man can do for MiJac and especially because he did it all BEFORE he died.
We need to get up off all that old made up bullshat and start respecting not only life but the living.
Besides - he's dead and won't even know old dude ain't there. The living that will notice - if that's what they went there for then I hope they have plenty to talk about.

Comment: I sincerely hope that Q's prediction about Michael's lasting legacy comes true. And, I ain't mad at Q for not attending the funeral. I don't go to funerals my dang self. I don't want my last visual of a loved one to be in a box -- sorry, not me. Q will greive and say his goodbye to Michael in his own way and time.

Comment: I feel what he is saying. I buried my 24 year old only child last year and when I went to view her before the homegoing service, I did not like the make up. I told the director of the home(a friend) to go get me some spnges and makeup remover and I spent the next hour just me and my daughter alone in that room and I re-beat her fact and hair to perfection. This was an avenue of closure for me. I was being strong for the family but I had mentioned that she was as beautiful and gentle as a dove. The only time I broke down was at the final resting place when unknown to me they released 3 beautiful doves in her honor. No parent should ever have to bury a child. Never.

Comment: @ bigheadbull2 I'm so sorry for your lost. May she always Rest In Peace and thank You for sharing. One never knows what someone else is or has gone through and that is why Q gets a pass from me for not going.

Comment: McNasty that's your nasty azz opinion and you cain't change mine! You don't have good sense to know it's VERY DISRESPECTFUL not to pay your last respect. Quincy made millions of dollars with Michael Jackson! I don't give a dam what anybody says. Quincy should have a grip on himself to pay final respect to Michael Jackson in death. Hell, I'll bet he'll have no problem attending his wife's or his child's funeral if one of them should die tomorrow - GOD FORBID. I bet he will attend his wife or child's funeral! I think Quincy scurred of meetin up with Joe Jackson frankly! Now what you got to say about my opinion? Talkin bout it don't make sense. Half the shyt you post don't make sense!
