[RonC]

MJ's funeral

MJ's funeral

Seriously... tickets??? That's just crazy. Our local paper had to run 4 pages of MJ news after residents complained that it wasn't wasn't receiving enough press in the newspaper, I wrote the editor and told them to just turn on the TV.....

Details of next Tuesday's public memorial for Michael Jackson are being released in Los Angeles by the owners of Staples Center.

Staples Center boss Tim Leiweke (LY'-wihk-ee) says 17,500 free tickets will be provided. There also will be a free worldwide video feed.

Leiweke says 11,000 tickets will be for seats inside Staples Center and 6,500 will be for seats in the adjacent Nokia Theatre, where fans will watch a simulcast.

People who want tickets must register on the Web at Staplescenter.com. After 6 p.m. Saturday, 8,750 names will be randomly selected to receive two tickets each. Notifications will go out on Sunday. Those selected will obtain their tickets via Ticketmaster on Monday.

No details of the memorial service itself have been released.

Wow, kind of morbid

just trying to squeeze every last penny out of him...kinda explains why he was who he was. I think I would loose my mind too if everyone whored me out as much as that...

i heard some $ numbers last nite regarding his music being bought since he died. his family is gonna rake in 100's of millions.

Is he the number one seller of all time, or is it still the beatles? If he's not number one...he may be soon.

With the unreleased music alone I bet they could easily milk it over the next 15-20 years.

I'm not so sure that there's a bunch of unreleased stuf out there. I could be wrong, but with the way he was hurting for money (and spending it), you would figure anything unreleased would have seen the light of day by now. I mean it had been almost 15 years since he had released anything!

:dunno:

I heard that he has over a hundred unreleased songs already recorded to be given to his children when they're old enough to accept the responsibility of what to do with them. If handled right, when released, they will set those kids up for life and then some. Great thinking ahead, I've also heard that Prince has done the same thing.

I heard on the radio yesterday that the Thriller Album alone has out sold all the Beatles records together... not sure if it's true, but that's what was being touted!

Crazy if true!

Tupac has a new album to be released in June 2010 and his career was no where near the longevity of MJ's.

You mean Joe will be set-up for life, don't you?

Man, really crazy stuff. I also do think it's morbid. Hell, what 'your gonna do?

Tupac's music was still relevant when he died MJ's was dated. He spent tons of money on making stupid music videos and promotion without reinventing himself or catching up with the latest trends in music. If you listen to the post Tupac releases you get the feeling that this man spent all his life in a recording studio. MJ spent all his childhood in one and seemed almost sick of the music business his recent relases were crap at best. Who bought blood on the dance floor or scream? People may buy his cds out of a sense of nostalgia but we all know Thriller was his best stuff.
