Michael Jackson: cardiac arrest?

Update: TMZ is now reporting that Michael Jackson has died.

TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson was rushed by ambulance to a hospital, that he was in cardiac arrest and paramedics administered CPR on the way.

I badly want to find something snarky to say about this but I just can't. I still like his music, although it's difficult now to separate the music from the freak show his life has become. I don't think I'd ever pay to see him in concert again (I actually saw him with his brothers during the Victory Tour in 1984 -- at JFK Stadium, long ago torn down) and I might not even buy a new album, but I can't help but appreciate his brilliant work from the past.

With Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna all having turned 50 last year, it's just more proof that I'm soooo old.
