We'll have our new Graceland.
I've kind of committed myself to listening to nothing but Michael for at least the rest of the week. It's my small way of paying respects to a legend.

I believe that when you die any money you leave has to go towards paying the debts before going to benificiaries but the debt doesn't get passed on. The estate owes the money not the heirs and if there's not enough money in the estate to pay the debt back then the creditors just have to make do with what is there.
His family won't suffer the debt they just might not benifit from his legacy.
Yes and no... I think.markthegab1 said:

It's a bit sad that the first thoughts that entered my head when I first heard the news were random Jacko rumours, like him wanting to buy the remains of the elephant man and that the dentist father of Jordie Chandler co-wrote Men In Tights. More distant is the music, which at times is so tacky and sentimental that I can't believe that it was written by a grownup person. But anyway, Give In To Me is class. Everybody go download that one legally!

I would love that. I wouldn't be too surprised if it actually happened.Dazzle said:

Yeah, I feel bad about that conversation too. But people have said much worse and are still saying much worse even after he's gone. What we said was really quite tame.

For some reason I thought you were Canadian, Miss. Good to know the truth.
But absolutely. The impact feels similar to 9/11, even if it's completely different, and much less serious in itself. It also feels similar to when Elvis died, in that it was felt globally, but you knew that the impact was much stronger in America than elsewhere.
(Anyone? "Where were you when you learned that Elvis had died?" I was at a shop close to our cottage, and immediately thought, "Now many people will be sad...". I liked him a lot, but he wasn't a real concern for me.)

A tribute concert would be amazing. As long as there weren't any rubbishy acts like Coldplay.

I haven't been this shocked over a world event since 9/11, even if the two events are not really comparable.
