About that death...
I was kinda surprised at first but couldn't get myself to care. I'm the right age but I've never listened to his music, I tried to avoid him as a kid (and no, pun not intended, more like "Michael Jackson is on MTV - change the channel.") and I felt embarassed for him in the later part of his career.
All I could think of was "Way to steal Farrah Fawcett's thunder, Michael."
