I had thought the gaudiest funerals were in the realm of the C&W people, they have the least amount of sense until I saw the MJ production. It seems we as the american people have the least amount of common sense of the world.
People, he was a musician (a fair one to be honest about it) NOT great. The American people have to place their priorities correctly. RICH does not mean good taste (as we could tell by the totally unneeded TV coverage.
We have had great americans die that did not have anything close to the "mess" that the MJ mess was. Can't we celebrate a persons life with respect and quiet? A president die is vastly more important than MJ passing. It is always done with good taste why does a rock star have to be way over the top?
