jesus christ, i realize he was famous, but there really is no escaping him.
any death is a tragedy and i grew up singing the songs in the thriller era, but i still don't understand why his death has dominated the news this much. why do people care so much about celebrities? the entire celebrity news industry confuses me. i'm completely uninterested in the personal lives of even the people whose work i admire. death is a bigger deal than most tabloid fodder, but the amount of attention MJ is getting right now really seems over the top to me.
