Amidst all the conjecture, the fact is, we will never know for sure what happened to Michael Jackson. What has been made clear this week however, was that he was on something, and something strong a few days before he died. This, from an audiotape played during the trial of Dr. Murray, the man accused of killing him with an overdose of propofol. Jackson's speech was so slurred, distorted and sedate on the tape, it was implausible to think that it could have belonged to the King of Pop.

So, I have a theory. Actually, it's more of a question. What if Michael Jackson got hooked on the propofol, or drugs like it, from the having surgery? He was not  being operated on anymore, as far as we know, but apparently was still having propofol administered? What if, after all this time, the drugs were what drove the addiction, not the nips, tucks, implants, reconstructions, etc...? Is it simply too preposterous a thought? I don't know. But, what if it's more common than we think? You know, finding reasons to go under the knife to get that not-a-problem-in-the-world euphoric high. As anyone who has been there knows, it's a journey to a place which is hard, if not impossible, to find any other way. Suddenly going to "Neverland" takes on new meaning.
