MJ

Last night traveling through my city there was a low level buzz: "Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson." Everyone was talking about the news. Michael Jackson dying at 50 has an impact like...well, that's still to be revealed. But today the shock waves and analysis sure seem in the Elvis/Lennon category of response.

For better or for worse, news about his death has bumped stories like Iran off the front page of publications like the Huffington Post -- Jackson was a strange and fascinating and without question significant figure in popular culture, music, and dance. (Maybe especially dance...)

How do you feel about the current wave of intensity about Jackson's premature passing? And of course, about his music...
