Aren't you the arrogant, pompous, snooty one - who wrote this article. Just scratch your head and wonder why so many millions of people deeply felt the loss of Michael. You don't get it. And that's okay. Sometimes for all of us there are things we don't know, we don't know. I'm sure if everyone felt deeply for you we'd reach cosmic conscience, right. NOT My goodness.

Reagan said, of America's version of democracy, people vote with their feet. Michael provided the imagery of American prosperity and freedom in the Arts, that was unprecedented in closed societs, like the former Soviet Union, China, the Middle East. Yet, somehow, kids in these countries got a taste of American prosperity and freedom through the music of Michael Jackson. Music as an art form provides the cultural and anthropological DNS of man in past and present societies. Michael Jackson was the cultural DNA of the United States of the 1980s and 1990s. All one has to do for evidence of this is look at the international records he broke 100 million records for two record albums. It is reported by wikipedia that his memorial service was viewed by as many as 1 billion people from around the world.That's one sixth of the global population. Yes our Dear Michael was one of the greatest foreign policy instruments we had in the 1980s and 1990s and he should be recognised for this. Rest in Peace Michael and thank you for your service to your country. Blessings and comfort to your greiving family.

This is usually the process when huge international mega stars pass away. There's no trying to analyze the situation, or figure out the overwhelming love for Michael Jackson. The thing to do is let the process takes it's course, and allow the nation and the world to honor a true hero, a music sensation, a prolific song writer and humanitarian, a gifted singer, who touched us all with his songs, kindness and love for all of God's creations. We need more people in the world to be like Michael Jackson. I think God is well pleased with him. Was the reaction to Elvis’ death over the top?

Michael Jordan is such a sweetheart. Did we add him to the 'list' yet? Money/power/drugs are powerful things and that/they can destroy lives. Speaking of which, wtf is up with Donald Trump's comb-over? To this day?! Nast. But, life in 'the spotlight' has got to be warped.
