    I wondered if he was a reader. Now I know!

    You @airvault: Yeah, you know, that article actually did enrich my understanding of him. From all I've read about MJ, it seemed his formative education was staggeringly incomplete---belt school system, infrequent tutoring between shows and recording sessions, hostile home situation--so this is a slight positive, I guess.

    @Dickdogfood: by "belt" I mean "rust-belt" of course.

    What about Michael's beloved pets? Has anyone told Bubbles? Corey Feldman?

    @Mymoustache: Oddly enough, Bubbles outlived Michael. But they took his picture off the website where he is currently residing.


    Corey Feldman tried to bait the press with that "Michael and I stopped talking on the day before 9/11" comment, but even Larry King wasn't biting.

    What about covering Michael Jackson jokes?


    What's the difference between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson. . .


    Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.


    Michael Jackson. . .


    had unhealthy relationships with young boys.


    . . .


    (It's too soon, isn't it?)

    @gawkimo: When Farrah died, God said he would grant her one wish. She asked that all the children in the world be safe from harm. So God killed Michael.

    "2. After Intense Attention, Coverage of Michael Jackson's Death Begins Receding And the Associated Press covered the coverage of coverage."

    Doesn't this post count as coverage of the coverage of the coverage of the coverage?

    Here's another idea for continued media coverage: How about which Michael will appear on the U.S. Postal Service's inevitable commemorative stamp?

    @MisterHippity: my money would be on an in-between, 1989-92-ish MJ.

    @MisterHippity: Ha ha well, speaking as a guy who was a big stamp wonk before he was a music wonk, I can tell you your concern is a little premature: the USPS waits the minimum of ten years before somebody's death before issuing a stamp with their picture. (The only exception: Presidents. It's a year for them.) MJ's sordid life might dissuade them from issuing something quite so soon; on the other hand, they've been somewhat less scrupulous about that kind of thing in recent years thanks to all the money they can get from famous-people stamps.
