I heard about this cover- thought he looked amazing on that picture! and read the caption “When MJ was cool” and got so turned off. The nerve. from 1958- to the ends of time HE WILL BE COOL. My dad ended up buying the issue- because he knew of me and my mother’s love of his work and music. BUT DIDNT READ THE BOLD FACE WORDS STARING HIM IN THE FACE!!!!! I read the first column- it was awful. It made my mother DEEPLY angry. They are using his image to spread there evil ideas about him. No one sides with them. SUCK IT GQ

I was all set to buy this issue, because it’s a gorgeous photo, but then I caught that headline and said “Fucking BITCHES!”

Michael Jackson was insanely cool ALL his damn life! It also shows that these people are idiots on the business front. It’s MJ fans who’ll bump their sales but with a shitass title like that?? Pfffftt. Seriously, if they think we’re stupid enough to not catch that diss to MJ, then it’s huge diss to us.

I ain’t no fool GQ.

ps – ALSO, Rolling Stones Tribute? CRAP! Do NOT buy it. It’s disgustingly absurd that they think they’re paying tribute to a legend by making harsh digs and unwarranted, unjust criticisms. They bash him left, right and centre. I’m so upset I bought that. You want a good tribute book? Pick up Ebony’s or MJ – The One And Only.

U know, the very fact that GQ thought up of a heading like this evidences that they are sooo NOT cool, and they are reallly, really shallow. If they seriously think that they are honouring Michael by this way they’ve got to be darn stupid (if they’ve got a brain, for that matter, which I doubt).

i totally agree with u JD on this one because if he was only “cool” then,then he wouldnt steal be talked about and discussed in the media for 3 months straight! they have been covering MJ’s death for the whole summer, oh but he was only cool back when he was still black…smh.

That title on the GQ cover caught me COMPLETELY off guard. As a fan, the title alone was offensive. The first question that popped up in my head was, “Wasn’t Michael ALWAYS cool?” (especially DESPITE some downfalls in his career) Was this man NOT ahead of the game, not only in music, but in the fashion world? MJ made the-all-black-covered-in-zippers-chains-and-buttons_look THE sh*t WAY before big named fashion couture brands hopped on the band wagon (they are DUMB late for that sh*t by the way). I wasn’t even born in the 80’s, but watching MJ dance around in that legendary red jacket made me ask “does that jacket come in women’s style?” So when the HELL has Michael NOT been cool? For a magazine to throw in a sneak diss (as you callled it) is some pure BITCHASSNESS to me. >:-|

THIS IS THE LETTER I SENT TO THE GQ EDITOR :

GQ,

The Michael Jackson cover story written by John Jeremiah Sullivan added nothing at all to the MJ discussion, tell John his pen reads like the garbled ramblings of someone in a straightjacket, the story was the most incoherent bullshit that I have read in recent months about the pop star.

P.S.
I read that bullshit online, I DID NOT buy that rag

It’s a great article. I think the title is meant to be satirical, ridicule intended to expose truth.
