Michael Jackson (2)
I continue to be amazed at the continuing hoopla over the death of Michael Jackson. As I said earlier, I really did have no idea that he was so popular and his fame was so far reaching. But then again, I don't do popular culture for the most part.
When something like this happens and we hear that Michael Jackson is 400 million dollars in debt, I always wonder how somebody who has made as much money as he has over the years could have died and left such an estate. How can one human being spend so much money?
Michael's personal doctor has "lawyered up." He must have reason to fear something.

How do you compare the hoopla to the responses to the deaths of Elvis or Bobby Kennedy or John Lennon?
The comparison with Elvis is appropriate. The hooplas are comparable as best I can remember from 1977. The big differnce is the technology of today vs. 1977 and the world-wide reaction to Jackson. Certainly Elvis was popular world-wide but not to the extent of Michael Jackson. Plus with the internet etc. Jackson's music and influence is much greater than Elvis's.
