Wow. This is unexpected. RIP

Can't believe all of the changed facebook statuses. Refuse to do it, but if I did it would say "If they say why? Why? Tell them that it's human nature.

I guess there's no denying it.

Totally sad now.

I'm cranking the "Greatest Hits" right now.

RIP MJ.

So apparently there is a fraternity house across the street from the medical center that is blasting Michael Jackson's music.

Ya, there are several right by the med center. The closest would be Theta Chi, SAE, Delta Tau Delta, Theta Xi, and Phi Psi

The radio stations are rotating his hits right now. I was doing fine until they started playing "Man In The Mirror" -- Had to turn it off.

Sigh.

I was trying to wait for CNN to confirm like an hour ago, but to be honest, the LA Times is credible enough for me at this point.

Local Top 40 station is playing Michael, then a song from today, then Michael, and so on. Station is telling the kids texting in that they should listen to his music, then listen to the next song and appreciate how much he contributed to the music community.

Smooth Criminal is on now. Love this song.

The station I just turned on is doing the same thing.

I'm glad that I was able to experience his talent, and I hope younger audiences realize how much he's contributed.

I know, it's just that some people (not you) are so focused on money, not even recognizing the fact that we just lost one of the greatest entertainers ever.

Kind of related, but iTunes has an MJ icon on their homepage, and 6 of the top album downloads are from Michael Jackson. Apparently, the top 10 at Amazon is all MJ too--not sure if that's downloads or actual CDs.

What's going to happen to all of those people who had tickets to see him this summer?
