The 24/7 media coverage of Michael Jackson's death and the aftermath reflects our society's voyeuristic curiosity about a talented and troubled man. The ever-changing twists and turns in the legal maze of custody battles and estate finances amount to reality TV that will go on for a long time. His larger-than-life funeral will no doubt be a cross between a memorial service and a concert/tribute. I wonder if the city of Los Anglees will come to a halt this afternoon. The death of the "King of Pop," the resulting controversey, and the world-wide outpouring of emotion from his fans reminds me of the death of the "King of Rock and Roll." They died young and troubled but their musical legacies live on.
