I seriously doubt it, I give it about another two weeks, and then it will go back to pre-death levels.
I don’t think Michael Jackson really cares.
Im just glad the big hand aint on the little hand anymore
Maybe this is the stimulus we’ve been looking for!
Wonder how much welfare money is supporting Jackson....
His manager was on the tube earlier.
Said Sony had a hundred or more tracks in the can that never got distributed, and many were as good as the stuff he released.
This one ain’t over by a long shot. They’ll milk this puppy till it bleeds.
Maybe my dad didn’t rock the world....But he was real and kind and not weird. How lucky I was!!
Aren’t we all lucky for that. I know I am.
Hell. They’re gonna parade his body around the country just to get $$$$$ until they can’t anymore . I saw, today, where the funeral procession was just driving around and then stopped for a bite to eat.......leaving the casket in the hearse.
was the casket open prior to the service?
It’s gonna be JUST like THIS....I swear. ANYTHING for a buck.

According to Harry Reid, the surge was a failure.
I remember that one! And...how about “Beatlemania”?
