Reply #473: from what i remember reading

the sexual relationship was consummated early on.

but then, Jerry Lee had already set the bar by marrying 13-year-old Cousin Myra.

re the outpouring of sentiment... i agree with you on Lennon. murdered in the second prime of his life by a whacko.

i think the comparison to Elvis' death will color a lot of the sentiment over MJ's death, once the autopsy results are in. from some of the tabloid articles it looks like the same thing... nervous before a big tour, and over-self-medicating. i am beginning to think it was not an intentional OD.
