R.I.P. Michael Jackson

I did see that part on replays but didn't get to watch the entire service. It was certainly very touching! Although Michael wasn't one of my favorite artists necessarily, I still enjoy his music and appreciate all of the wonderful things he's given to music and entertainment.

I just wonder if his legacy will be as great as Lennon's, despite Lennon's death being much more tragic, IMO. It is interesting to wonder if MJ had not been given a public funeral and instead only a vigil like was held for Lennon, if the media hype and frenzy would be as great. I certainly hope that Michael's music and love for the world marks his legacy as it should be, and not the media and their interpretation of him. That would be very sad, and if that happened, I suspect his legacy would not be as great or continue on as long as it should.

well tay i honestly think mj's legacy will be bigger than lennon's. i personally think he has a greater following then lennon has or ever did. i mean the guy had vigils and memorial all over the world.

So did Lennon, who continues to have memorials/vigils as well as other museum exhibits and such. I guess we'll just have to give it time and see if it evolves into something as big.
