My reaction is mainly sadness and pity, which is surprising to me.
I think it has to do with seeing what I suspect was a tender, confused, but fundamentally good, kid / teenager turn into something bad and corrupt, and then
watch it all simply decay and erode into nothingness. And a good chunk of the transformative process was probably not his own doing.

Simply put, anyone who wrote "Obla-di Obla-da" or "Silly Love Songs" can never get that title -- at least as long as I am alive. And there are untold better lyricists in the rock/pop genre that leap out at me instantaneously: Bob Dylan Neil Young Roger Waters Ray Davies Elvis Costello Morrissey John Lennon Thom Yorke etc.........

Actually, of all people you might imagine Uri could have seen it coming and NOT been shocked, being psychic and all.

I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and
was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any
such slander at any time in the future.

The most surprising thing about the post mortem reportage was that Uri Geller was such a close friend of Michael Jackson.
I'd completely forgotten about Uri Geller until Michael Jackson died. |
