Am I the only one who is friggin’ tired of the shrill Michael Jackson “news” stories? Granted, his death was unexpected, his life story one of professional triumph and personal sadness and bizarre behavior. BUT has he been in any way relevant for the last 15 years? His musical genius was eclipsed by gradual descent into–what? mental illness? paranoia? physical excess? pedophilia? Whatever. Mother Theresa got less press when she died. It’s time to move on, media guys. He was an entertainer, not a saint.
(Oh good grief. A local weatherman just announced that he’s been contacted by some random woman viewer who went to a MJ concert back in the day and may provide some pictures for Fox 8 to post. Aarrrggghh!)
On the other hand, I guess it’s good that, during all this Michael Jackson mania, there hasn’t been a report of any notable politician being caught in flagrante delicto. That also is getting kinda old, dontcha think?
I’m done geezing for now. Larry thinks I’m turning into a curmudgeon.

Well, all of us here are in mourning. I’m wearing all black, Sebastian is coloring a memorial poster of some sort, and Jeff has insisted on moonwalking everywhere. Later, we’ll dress the cats up in red leather jackets and head on over to Hollywood Blvd. to lick His Holy Star.
