in the near future a public memorial service at the L A Colosseum would be nice, holds about 100,000.
A donation of a toy or food item for the children of the world charity would be nice.

I wouldn't put it past his father, to do such a thing.

MJ's memorial will be at Staples center in LA this coming Tuesday.

The general consensus of the people who actually saw and heard the evidence submitted to court was 'not guilty'.

Great, but heartbreaking article from HuffPo. Some of the comments underneath are it even better than the article itself.

Dr. Judith Rich: "It Hurts To Be Me": Confessions Of Michael Jackson

ETA: I teared up again when I read this comment someone left.

I sound as mawkish and maudlin as any teeny bopper screaming Michael's name, but I will go to my grave believing that man died of a broken heart. In the end nothing could heal that broken heart. Not his children, his money, his fame, his fans, or his music.
Yesterday I listened to his song "Will You Be There?", and sadly, the answer was no. We were so busy trying to determine the paternity of his children, trying to figure out how much money he had and how to get our hands on it, taking bets on how many surgeries he'd really had, and trying out the next round of "Wacko Jacko" jokes, we forgot this was a real, feeling, hurting human being.
A human being who baldly asked us, begged us, pleaded with us to love him, to accept him, to listen to him.
What did we do?
Pointed and giggled at a caricature of our own creation....shook our heads at such a tragic sight...Passed judgement on a person we treated as property rather than a person.
And today? Trumpeted from the rooftops what a great man he was......the first 48 hours after his death.
Even in death his life is being picked at like a scab.
Now? He is being scolded because he, allegedly, never legally adopted his children...has, allegedly, left his father without a cent in his will.
In other words? Same bullshit, different day.

Great meeting Jive Turkey at Dundas Sq last night for the MJ tribute thing.

I did get some video on my phone but it seems a bit loud..

I LOVE the pic. they used. It's one of my favs. Is this already out? I want this one too.

Tiger Edge · 07-02-2009, 01:37 PM

I just pre-ordered it from Barnes and Noble. No chances this time. It's gonna get framed right next to the George Harrison RS issue.

corianderstem · 07-02-2009, 01:38 PM

That's pretty awesome.

I'm guessing it's going to be the next regular issue. The last one I got in the mail (last week or the week before) was a double issue, so I'm not sure when that one will be mailed to subscribers.

Damn. I'm pre-ordering it too. I hadn't clicked the link, so thanks for the heads-up that you can do that.

Lila64 · 07-02-2009, 02:21 PM

I had gotten an email to pre-order it. So, I don't know if subscribers will get it

Very nice cover!

corianderstem · 07-02-2009, 02:34 PM

If subscribers don't automatically get it, that's really freaking lame. I'm already starting to wonder if I'm SOL on the Time issue.

Lila64 · 07-02-2009, 02:59 PM

They are showing some dress rehearsal video on CNN. Apparently it was just released. Rehearsal video is from Tuesday, 2 days before he died.

WildHoneyAlways · 07-02-2009, 05:38 PM

I'd love to see the rest of the rehearsals. I pre-ordered my Rolling Stone this today as well.

Tiger Edge · 07-02-2009, 08:03 PM

Woohoo! A friend of mine found the Time magazine at our supermarket. She bought one for me. I think she said there were more. If anyone here wants one I can pick it up for you between today and tomorrow.
