    Give the people what they want and they'll show up. I'm pretty annoyed with the media over the level of coverage. Fortunately I have a new book (a fantasy novel) and don't have to put up with it. Reminds me of the stories of Rudolph Valentino's funeral. Although not quite as extreme.

          I don’t much care that they have turned the “memorial” into the opening show for a worldwide memorial tour. If people are willing to go, more power to the promoters. But I am ticked the family and promoters expect CA tax payers to pick up the multimillion $ tab for the security. Don't get me started on the mentality of all the "fans" of this singing and dancing pedophile. No he was never convicted, but only because he spent millions to get the victims to retract or change their stories. LA had approximately ten separate events they considered solid enough to take to a grand jury. Santa Barbara had a solid case that actually made it to court. All the cases fell apart because the victims either changed their story or simply disappeared.(The investigator MJ used was later convicted of fraud and witness intimidation in a separate case.)

          Actually, what I meant by that was "Give them a celebrity funeral cause that's what they want."

                What a revolutionary concept! I see this idea revolutionizing entire industries! Like, instead of buying CD's (outdated business model), you take the musicinas themselves to the store, and let them sing and play music, and people who like this band will show up and pay for hearing them! You might even sell some of these outdated CDs afterwards!

                Well, that's just small talk. It's easy to agree for people that something is not the way it should be. But try to get them to agree on how much Michael, what anglle, what details, and the amount of cleavage shown by the reporter. :shrug:

                    You could have loads of seating in your store and a flat raised area at one end where the band could stand so that everyone in the store could see them. You know I think that idea of yours might just work.

                                    Ah the last pleasure standing! I'd recommend to add a Lagavulin 16yo for... uh, balance.

                                    Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

                                      I'd not heard of that. I'll put it on my list. I see the price isn't cheap, but at least I can find it locally. Balance. Here's to "balance". :thumbsup:
