Considering you probably weren't even born yet when any of these artists were prevalent and the fact that the music that's written today is, for the most part, complete and utter garbage, why I am not surprised to hear that from you?

I may be missing something, as I really don't care about musicians other than do I like it or not.
But wouldn't the rock and Roll hall of fame. Have rockers in it. Not moonwalking pop stars?
It isn't the musical hall of fame...

You need to go to Cleveland and tour the place. It's music history, not just a place to headline 'hard rock' musicians.

oh I thought it was just for the rock n roll genre. I had no clue they had rappers or R&B artists in there and all that crap.
But I think I'll pass and go to canton. Musicians hold no interest to me.

The city of Los Angeles set up a Web site Tuesday to allow fans to help the city pay for his Staples Center memorial service. Mayor's office spokesman Matt Szabo estimates the service will cost $1.5 million to $4 million.

I find it hilarious that they shut down two major LA freeways just so the Jackson entourage could go from the cemetary to the Staples Center. This funeral of his is getting more media coverage than the death of JFK, Nixon, and Reagan combined. They even wheeled him into the Staples Center in a gold casket worth over $25 grand. Unfortunately, they're letting a lowlife like Rev. Al Sharpton speak his normal nonsensical garbage.

This just shows how big he really was/is....

Some of the LA council people are making noise about going after AEG for the cost of the event. Hope they do, no reason for the taxpayers to get stuck with the security costs.

Absolutely! They should make Jackson's estate pay for the entire thing.

Personally I think they should've charged all these people who went to this thing at least $100 each, especially since many of them sold one of their 'golden tickets' for $200 - $300. I know the family wanted to do something for the fans, but sticking LA with a couple million dollar bill to host it is ridiculous. The state can't even balance their books, and would file for bankruptcy if they could. If AEG won't pony up the money, get it from the Jackson estate or some of the 6000 'VIP friends' that attended. I'm sure Kobe, Magic, Brooke Shields, Barry Gordy, Rev. Al, and Rev. Jesse could fork over a couple hundred thousand and it would've put a small dent in their pocketbook.

LOL...I was thinking that about the tickets...they could have charged something and called it a donation to his memorial fund...
I wonder how much this thing cost?

The rumor is Jackson will be cremated. What LA should do is take all the plastic that will melt out of the cremains and mold it into commemorative medallions and sell them for 100.00 a pop. Should be enough plastic to make a couple thousand of them. That will make a dent

They're cremating him after spending 50 grand for that bronze casket? Maybe his kids can use it for a private hideout.

I'm going to come of the closet here. (figuratively speaking) But Star Trek already has that idea covered. The farangi would do that to their dead loved ones to make a profit...

Maybe they should turn the plastic into Legos so little kids could play with him for a change

You know, someone died and no matter what you think of him, the dead deserve some degree of respect or, at least a smidgen of deference to your fellow members here who may be fans of this individual.
You people are about as cultured as a withering pickle. Grow up.
Topic is laid to rest along with Michael Jackson.
