I heard it was 50 shows, which is just...insane. And so, I thought that just meant 23,000 people bought tickets to all 50 shows.

23,000 crazy people, that I can deal with.



...hmm, I wonder what those tickets are going for now? ("But honey! They were half price!!")

I'll admit, during the Thriller heyday I liked some of his stuff, but after that it was a long, sad downward spiral into melanin-phobic madness.

Larry King even cancelled a planned show on Farrah Fawcett's life so he could concentrate on Michael Jackson instead (well, I'm spreading rumours now, I don't know this for a fact).

Are we so different from the rest of society? Or is the media completely lost to us now?
I know how the boys of South Park felt in Elementary School Musical
