” Isn’t that...kind of weird?

I mean, if you like the guy’s music, then you should own his music. *Already*. “

Exactly what I was thinking . Is it THAT easy to brainwash people nowadays in America ? I’m in Japan so unsure .

In the entertainment industry, dying is always a good career move. For example, I never used to listen to Frank Sinatra but since he died, I've been slowly accumulating the music from his catalog.

Now I've been hearing a lot of fuss over this new "singing sensation" named Amy Winehouse. Supposedly she has a great voice but has a very bizarre lifestyle of drug abuse. I don't know much about her music but when she does finally succumb to the "rock and roll" lifestyle, I guess I'll go ahead and check some of that music out.

I don’t know if I’d use the word “easy”.

The MJ coverage has been literally non-stop here, every channel, all the time. Bombastic. Plus...the side issues that have been spawned...the drug use...the 911 call...the alleged crooked doc who may have injected him w/drugs....the status of his estate....the Beatles catalog....Neverland....the crazy Brits...the parents...the funeral...blah blah blah. Wall to wall. Bumper music on nearly every radio show. This from memory by someone who doesn’t watch TV, though it’s on in the background.
