Well then he should have gotten whatever he needed in order to purchase it. There are artists who don't own their own catalogs. It is just the nature of the business.

Uh huh, there is some etiquette that goes with the business, which is why there was a bit of drama in that.

Perhaps someone not related, but not necessarily Michael Jackson. LOL.

Outbid is outbid, but his outbidding never sat well with me.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I think it's all a big ole Velvet Goldmine style hoax. He's probably on Marlon Brando's Tahitian island.

That crossed my mind yesterday when TMZ was the only source that claimed he had passed and CNN took so darn long. I think he's really deceased, though.

I will NOT do him like they did Elvis and TuPac. No No No. LOL.

I was clicking thru the little news items on my cable, and UCLA Med Center - where he died - is the same place that leaked Farrah's records to the media. That just set off all kinds of red flags for me.

I want him to not be dead.

I'm waiting for the first MJ sighting.

Have you ever heard Paul's story about how he was the one who encouraged MJ to buy songs? Paul invokes a squeaky voice. It's hilarious.

I think Paul should have the songs too.

LOL. It is hilarious. LOL. Let me see if I can find it.

I thought he had a deal with MJ about what would happen after MJ bought the songs. That may be my imagination.

No, I'm not going that route either. I believe Elvis is dead and unfortunately Michael is dead. However, I DO believe that Tupac is still alive. In fact CNN reported seeing him in Beverly Hills a few years ago. But then, allegedly they had to take the story down because of issues surrounding his death. The story from CNN was that his death was faked because he had to enter the witness protection program after ratting out a major crime figure shortly before the time when he "died."

I'm sorry... did you say Shug Knight???

LOL. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

Grab your glocks when you see Tupac
Call the cops when you see Tupac, Uhh
Who shot me,
But, your punks didn't finish
Now, you 'bout to feel the wrath of a menace
*blank*, I hit 'em up

Welp, witness protection programs are real and sometimes celebs have to enter them. TuPac and MJ might be poppin' champagne together right now. Yikes.

The concert ticket refund is the no-brainer. But, think about it: people bought plane tickets and booked hotel rooms for a concert where the performer just died. Unless their travel insurance considers this a "covered" event, there could possibly be a number of ticket cancellations.

What will this do to the travel industry?

I think they'll ge a raincheck or transferral instead of a refund.
