Sound Advice

Michael Jackson is dead.

Unless you are a member of his family or you personally knew him:

Get over it.

He was a talented singer and entertainer, no doubt. Anyone who was around when the "Thriller" music video was released can testify to that, it upended the genre of cheap-ass schlock that previously was standard for music videos.

But if you are not in one of the groups I mentioned above and if your life is so damaged by the passing of any entertainer that you need to publicly mourn, you might want to consider seeking some competent professional help.

  3. He was an amazing performer but he's gotten more coverage than Princess Diana and the OJ murder trial.
    I've been sticking to HBO and Bravo.
