As most of you know, Michael Jackson died yesterday. I helped MTV cover it a little bit before going home. I found out my co-workers were here until 1am fixing up the website so that it's all Michael, all the time.
Now, I am putting up promos for people to buy his records.
I feel like a whore.
Yes, this is a big deal, but people dogged him all his life and he's finally at peace. Why are we profiting off his death? People are selling t-shirts and water bottles at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem and people have to stand in front of his body so people won't take a picture of it.
Can't we respect the dead just a little bit?
They make such a big deal out of the same man that everyone was chasing around with torches and pitchforks for being a "child molester" a year ago. Fickle much?
ReplyDeleteHe will be missed, he made an impact on music for sure...but let the man pass in peace.
I agree.....come on people.
ReplyDeleteThe man is dead and although anyones death is sad, I must say at least he is at peace.
Its all just so sad! I am wondering though if he is at peace. That thought makes me even sader.
