Just Don't Get It!
I hope no one takes offense to this, but I just don't understand the hoopla over Michael Jackson's funeral and why all the TV networks have to cover it. Others have passed this month and they didn't get this coverage....Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Karl Malden and I think a couple others.
He's getting the same kind of media attention as a President...Princess Diana...etc. I just don't get it.

I would like to know who's going to end up with the money from the tickets they are selling for people to come see him. you know it won't make it to the kids.
I liked his music back in his day but he just got to weird

I agree. I don't understand it either. As far as the tickets for his memorial they're free but in order to get them your name had to be entered in a drawing and if your name was drawn you got two tickets. I saw on the news where there's tickets on e-bay for $20,000!!!!

I think he was a genius, but I have heard people being interviewed who are so crazy to go to his funeral. I had no idea he was so revered, I have to tell you.
Why in the world would anyone want to go to a funeral? It's kind of like going to Graceland. In fact, I heard today that "they" are thinking of turning Neverland into another Graceland. People are absolutely NUTS!!! Every time they go into the Michael Jackson story, I just wish one f them would just say, "Michael Jackson latest update - he's still dead."

So funny Judy!!! You're right he was a good entertainer, but so was Lucille Ball, Bob Hope and many many others. I just don't get it.
