If he could go into the audience and swing on an unruly or psychotic fan attempting to jump in Jackson's casket, that alone would be worth the admission.

Not to break up the memorial discussion, but that arcade was creepy.
Nice cabs though.

I was wondering the same thing.
Many of the local stations and even an outside venue with a big screen will be carrying the memorial live. I know MJ was a icon but this overblown coverage maybe a wee bit too much IMO.

They showed the casket on KTLA and they had the feed on CNN. A gaudy gold casket, almost looked like an Egyptian Sarcophagus, which I remember him telling that schmuck Martan Bishiar that he DIDN'T want to be buried in.. go figure.
I'm also pissed off at that fat fuck Peter King. He's a Republican Congressman from fucking Long Island, so I'm glad an asshole like that is representing me as a Long Islander. All he does is come off as a idiot bashing Michael like that. I love people like that that will bash the media for it's constant exposure and all they want is media exposure for themselves. I saw the video on Youtube and of course all of the comments are cherry picked so only if you agree with King, they'll put your comment up on there.

I read earlier this week that its the same kind that they used for James Brown, who was one of Jackson's inspirations.

It'd be awesome if Jackson were still alive and it was all a big publicity stunt

The lights go out...
A long pause, nervous chatter...
Then the opening chords of Thriller...
Two lights immediately shine on the casket...
The most elaborately staged concert in history begins!

The casket isn't there yet, they had announced this morning that they were running 30 minutes behind. I think they had Smokey Robinson go up and give those notes from Dianna Ross and Nelson Mandela to ease the crowd and the TV networks.
Side Note: Do you applaud when they bring in the casket?

I remember they had him on the Flintstones once - MICHAEL JACKSTONE!
I also remember a member here had an awesome sig that showed michael throughout the years with the caption - "America. The only place where a poor black boy can grow up to be a rich, white beautiful woman."
I remember someone had an avatar with Micheal Jackson as totally white who was obsessed with him got permabanned about 3 years ago.

Lionel Ritchie was good as always.
Too bad it was a closed casket, but that would've been a bit too weird, the more I think about it.
Good montage after Berry Gordy.
Hot damn, Stevie Wonder's words made me sad --and I appreciated his song choice, I really love his early 70s stuff.

I just realized Jackson's pall bearers (his brothers) are all wearing one white, sequin glove 
[some are opposites, so I assume they set it up so that the gloved hands would hold the casket]
And now we get to see Kobe and Magic, together in the Staples Center --just not in the way many would've expected.
(Magic's put on a bit of weight, you wouldn't be surprised if someone told you he were former NFL DE)
---
Speaking of dramatic weight loss, I can't stop admiring Al Sharpton (and his sensible approach). And damned if he's not a great speaker --I want him to speak at my memorial service.
---
Usher made a nice recovery from the bland, long-winded speech by the minor politician.
But wtf is with Michael's kid chewing gum the whole time?
---
Speaking of kids, who invited the 12 year old Persian kid to start singing? [EDIT: if Ortega is right, I guess Michael sort of did]
---
Holy fuck, the guy who opened "We are the World" is the scary/creepiest looking person in the whole arena (including the casket)
---
Listening to his daughter, Paris, was also pretty sad.

The "We Are The World" guy was fuck-ugly and should've been shot in the head onsight. Shit, I thought they were doing a "Thriller" number when I walked in for he really could pass as a zombie.
