Jackson 5 song fitting commentary that American Culture Needs to Change
This ia an excerpt:
A fitting commentary to the spectacle which the demise of singer Michael Jackson became can be found in the title of my favorite Jackson 5 song, “Maybe Tomorrow.” It is appropriate because if anything comes from this incident it is that – in the future - Americans will stop the deification of entertainers.
The mainstream media, so anxious to televise those killed in action in Iraq arriving at Dover Air Force based during the Bush years, lately have done nothing to acknowledge the sacrifices of the defenders of our liberties. Yet, they provided unlimited reporting about a man who sang songs.
Maybe tomorrow that will change.
The exploitation of this event is crass and disgusting even by Hollywood standards. Al Sharpton, as Juan Williams noted on the Fox News Channel, had little contact with Jackson. Yet, Reverend Al shows up to get some prime camera time – and presumably some donations.

Michael Jackson is a "shovel ready project."
Like... Rush Limbaugh?
A- He’s not deified.
B- He’s not a singer.
I appreciate bands/groups that write songs, and play their own instruments. in other words musicians
He's an entertainer.
He’s not deified.
I invite you to take a look at the daily Limbaugh show thread.
They have written a psalm to him.
We love to hear Rush Limbaugh,
Excellence in Broadcasting.
From sea to shining sea,
Millions and millions listen.
Conservative voice of freedom,
Heard throughout all America.
A message pure and truthful,
The downhearted are encouraged.
Integrity and honesty his motto.
We love you, Rush.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh.
G-d Bless you, Rush Limbaugh.
I haven’t seen the text your quoting so I don’t know if you’re guoting it correctly or taking it out of context.
Howver, if you don’t know the the difference between a poem and a psalm, I guess you can’t tell me the difference between Matt Lauer, Charlie Gibson, Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams, Walter Cronkite, Chris Matthews, Katie Couric, as well as Barbara Walters do and what Limbaugh does.

I believe you are deliberately making a rather large stretch.
