so todays the day..
lets hope that the LAPD [who are just slightly less racist than the BNP] BEHAVE THEMSELVES when they have 500,000 [mostly black] mourners lining the streets for todays funeral/memorial and keep their batons in their belts and dont start indiscriminately [big word for me anytime of the day let alone 9am] hitting people who are there to pay their respects to Jacko.
why wont i be surprised in the least if LA is in flames by sunset tonight though?

Actually, there will not be a open cascet, no "lit de parade". Thanks for that. But all in all, I think it´s nice to have a "public funeral" for Jacko, I think he would have liked it. Maybe not the cameras but the fans. And of course, there was no ticketsales for the event, there was a lottery. Lets hope his final show blows our minds!

I got my ticket for the memorial yesterday and immediately put it on ebay. It's currently listed with a "buy it now" price of 50p (45p p&p) so hurry up and grab yourselves a bargain.

UPDATE
Ebay has removed the memorial ticket after someone discovered that I had scribbled out Mollie Sugden's name and written Micheal Jackson over the top in tippex. My account has been suspended.

On the evening of 24th of June I left the city of Mumbai to attend a marrigae in the family. Now this function was held in a very remote part of the country - no TV, no newspapers (atleast not ina language that I can read).
After a few days a relative held up copy of the local newspaper in which they had put up an annoucement about the marriage. I joked that my cousin must surely be a celebrity to be sharing print space with pictures of Michael Jackson and Obama on the same page. I couldn't read the news article about Michael properly as my understanding of the language was limited, but I could make out the word "death". I asked someone to read out the article for me and I was just stunned. And I just could not believe that it had happened a few days ago!!
When I was back in Mumbai, my sister and friends told me that the papers and TV had precoius little else to report the past few days. Even news about the India - West Indies cricket series took a back seat, which is really something.
Well, I missed the whole media circus, but I still very much felt the loss of my boyhood icons. I was a huuuuge Michael fan before Queen came into my life. And eventhough its been a long time since I have really heard any of his songs or watched any of his amazing videos, I never stopped liking him.
I thank God that he kept Michael alive long enough to see his name cleared of all the false child abuse charges.
RIP Michael.

I am staying clear of TV and newspaper articles on Michael, but am curious to know if the funeral will be held in the Islamic tradition (considering he was a recent convert to that religion)?
90,000 fans with Metallica, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Extreme, Elton John, George Michael, Liza Minelli, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Seal & Spinal Tap performing for charity.
Which would you say was the biggest.

Jesse Jackson and Paris Jackson were very heartfelt in the memorial service.

I had to laugh at the report in the Sun about the memorial concert being the biggest ever. Let's compare it:
90,000 fans with Metallica, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Extreme, Elton John, George Michael, Liza Minelli, Elizabeth Taylor, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Seal & Spinal Tap performing for charity.

1) Diane Ross & Justin Timberlake did not sing
2) It was a memorial service not a tribute concert
3) I am sure there will be a tribute concert that will be just as big, if not bigger than the Freddie tribute.
