I am not taking anything away from MJ and that he was a talented artist. But think of the other entertainers that died the same day and barely a peep other than annoncing on the news that they passed. My wife and I were talking about all this media coverage and why? Other than the "Thiller" album which was early in his career and made him ... he did not have block buster albums one after another. I can think of several other artists that fall in this category that passed and you did not see anything like this before. I almost feel it was his promoters putting on one last show to drive sales of existing albumn. I feel bad in saying that ... but just can not come up with another explantion for so much hype and media attention / coverage. Including the president of the US feeling necessary to call his family. Did he call the families of the other entertainers that passed the same day? We know he did not call the families of the soldiers killed in Iraq that day. By Obama placing the call to MJ family said the loss of his life was more important than anyone elses to make a personal call. He could have sent a letter, like I am sure the soldiers families got.
