Maybe this is the price of "celebrity"... to do your thing and then just "wild" out when your moment has passed.

Also, this reminds me of a poem I had to read when I was in college... "To an Athlete Dying Young"

I guess in dying at the height of your greatness, solidifies your historical placement in the minds of those who celebrate you. MJ, by that token was well past his "expiration date".. but still, passing at 50 years old, his time still came too soon.
