I simply don’t get the mass hysteria, alive or dead. There is no arguing that he was a musical genius (I just blogged about it today, for the first time, as the Little Imp is suddenly quite taken by the gloved one!), but I don’t understand the impetus behind concert hysteria that he evoked, and now in death…I don’t get how people who never even knew him can be so damned upset – to the point of , again, hysterics.
There are REAL statistics that kind of support your chart. It’s true that in a survey after the trial, only a very small percentage of people were willing to say they liked him! Now everone seems to LOVE him. Americans! Go figure!

Yep they are crawling out of the woodwork aren’t they?

I’m just over it.
I don’t hate anybody. I just never would have asked him to babysit my children or how my makeup looked.

OK, I’m ashamed of myself for repeating this tacky joke, but not ashamed enough not to repeat it:
Farrah Fawcett gets to heaven and God says, “Oh my sweet girl, you struggled so long, what one wish can I grant you?”
Farrah: “Please, God, save the children.”
God: “Sayonara, Michael Jackson!”
Freaking hilarious, Marcy. And Kathi for that matter!
BTW-I’m really glad I’m in Colorado so I don’t have to listen to it 24/7 any more!
I am so done with this mess.
