The Media
Let’s face it, regardless of whether you were a true blue dedicated Michael Jackson fan or just one who listened to his music, watched him dance and then went on about your business, you are being bombarded by Michael Jackson stuff.
I was very proud that the Memorial Service was reserved and not totally over the top. The thing is this, we’ve listened to Michael Jackson everything, down to the fact that when he entered the hospital, he wasn’t listed by name, he was given the name of “emergency joe” to help keep down crowds. It might not have been emergency now that I think about it it might have been “trauma joe” or something like that.
Anyway, here’s the thing, we lost 13 soldiers that day which is the most we as a nation have lost in a long time. And even still, it was all about Michael Jackson. Farrah and died and as others have said, we had all basically come to grips with her health but she did die that morning. And really, nothing much was said about her then and then she has finally made the magazine circuit.
But, Farrah, and 13 soldiers lost their lives on the same day as Michael Jackson. Why have we heard nothing about them.
I know I know, we haven’t heard from them because Michael Jackson was the King of Pop. And, that’s fine, but people 13 soldiers, fighting for our right to listen to MJ’s music, eat what we want to eat and go where we want to go. Thirteen soldiers who were trying to help the less fortunate build themselves up so that they too can survive in a more civilized society.
Yet….we were told every Michael Jackson detail that anyone could come up. A lot of truth but more lies, I’m almost positive of that.
