    Not even close to 2 mil. Shoot, I'm hearing reports that the Staples Center is even packed yet.

      Re: Michael Jackson has passed away

      It's crazy how many people are out there...

      Maybe it's just me, but I can't really imagine an entertainer/actor/musician that I'd fly to LA for a memorial service...I guess part of it is just how I personally react to death. I internally mourn family members, but the actual funerals do nothing for me, my recovery is all internal and whatnot. I do see how memorial services help families of people who have passed away, just guess I don't have (and probably never will have with a non family member) that deep emotional connection a lot of people have with MJ.

          I just can't wait for this to be over so it's off my TV, news feeds, etc. So sick of hearing it. He's not the president, he's not even a big star at this point. Ugh.

There's something very perverse about all of that. An entertainer who made millions upon millions of dollars and financially crippled city is being asked to flip the bill.
            No matter what the city was going to have to pay a lot of money for security. Even if the family just wanted a private memorial/burial the fanatics would have turned out to watch the funeral procession and clogged streets. The city would have to provide some police force and you can't slap a family with a bill just because their son is popular. At least this way it's organized. We're left to hope that the people who knew Michael Jackson and are financially capable of making a donation to the city do so. A lot of wealthy people have come out and voiced their sadness over his passing so let's see if they cared about him enough to cough up some dough.

              Don't hate. I think after the memorial today, MJ's remains should lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda for a month or so.

                  A month? F that. Forever. Maybe set up something at Neverland similar to Lenin over in Russia...

                      Well i'm watching too.

                      It's sad how a musical act gets a quasi State Funeral treatment oh and Jennifer Hudson just butchered that song.

                        Sharpton. Not a fan and not a fan of him using this as a soap box but that was a decent speech.

                        John Mayer SMH kind of

                          Agreed on Sharpton but I had to snicker a bit at one point where he's literally yelling at the podium. Still, it was a nice speech.

                                And a funeral for MJ is pretty low in importance on my personal list of things that I don't want my tax money going to, but that's a whole other discussion...
