The King of Pop

Michael Jackson – regardless of media stunts and "wacko" moves – was truly the "King of Pop."

His death is tragic, but so is the media obsession. While I admit, his life needs to be commemorated, the news last night and this morning focused on him, his death and speculation of cause. This overshadowed the late, great Farrah who lost her battle to cancer. No one really made mention of Ed McMahon. Oh, right, and all the countless people that died in the world yesterday anyway.

I'm torn in my feeling of his loss. I definitely enjoyed his music – ABC, Thriller, The Way You Make Me Feel – because he makes you want to dance. Can you honestly say you don't do the head bob classic to the music video when the rhythm of Thriller hits the speakers?

But why focus all the news coverage energy on one person's death?
