Michael Jackson is Dead

That's crazy. For a little bit there, the news stations were carrying different stories. Some said he was dead and some said he was in real bad shape. Now we know. It's sad, but there are a couple things I noticed.

First, Farrah Fawcett died today as well, and there wasn't nearly as much coverage. When MJ died, that's all the covered the front pages of many news sites, but when Farrah died, she got a mention. Front page, but splashed across it.

Second, HuffingtonPost has completely abandoned it's Iran live-blog for the story. One man dying, no matter how famous, should not completely offset a story about protesters/possible revolution. They should have at least kept them both on the front page.

But, back to the sadness. I loved Michael Jackson's music. He was an amazing artist. I just finished playing a couple vinyls of his music in his memory. It's sad that his memory will be marred by scandal. What can you do though.

RIP MJ
