Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley? Both were (and are) entertainment icons rcognized by their first names. Both died very young. Drugs contributed to their early deaths.
I heard many people call in to talk radio programs. It seems like the race card has been played. Many black callers were claiming that there is a racist conspiracy when it comes to media coverage of Michael. They claimed that the coverage has been negative because the white-controlled media does not want to knock Elvis from the position of #1 all-time pop music icon. Some white caller emphasized that, while Elvis had his faults, he wasn't a child molester. I am sure many people are poised to make some money from this battle of the pop icons.
Stepping away from the race fray, here is an interesting tribute to Michael Jackson from Trinity Episcopal Church in New York City. The musician is amazing - listen for "Beat It" and "ABC". A tip of the cap to Deacon Greg Kandra for this video.
