[Closed] Michael Jackson memorial...

Sorry has that been done? It just came to me this moment.

I shall go away and never darken the STW doors again. Possibly.

I'd be most impressed if they did the forward moonwalk. Any old eejit can do the backwards one.

EDIT: I think CFH is referring to the amount of plastics that need recycling. If so, Flashy deary, last week's calling, it wants its joke back.

do they have pallbearers & coffins at memorial services?

Just heard Jesse Jackson on the radio claiming that Jacko had "left behind the greatest musical legacy ever"

Wise words Jesse, that Mozart fella is so over rated.

I will promise not to any more.

This just in...

'Funeral services for Michael Jackson have been set for 6am Saturday morning, in accordance with California's mandatory plastic recycling pick-up schedule.'

He owned all the Beatles stuff - that's a pretty good start

BBSB, very good 😆

He owned all the Beatles stuff - that's a pretty good start

Nah - he initially bought the publishing rights but then Sony & him merged other titles so he had a 50% share of the publishing rights which would earn him ~25% of any royalties

The Drugs Enforcement Agency raided the Neverland Ranch following Jacko's death, and found Class A in the bathroom, Class B in the kitchen and Class 4C in the bedroom

yup, but he's still leaving a fairly substantial musical leagcy. Not much of it his own it terms of what he did to create it..

tankslapper - that just got passed round the office and went tdown like a child at Neverland

oops - banned

This could be the best practical joke / career comeback EVER!

If he pops out of that coffin in the middle of a Thriller recital then I'm a fan forever!

eek the collective hand wringing is nauseating, where were they when he was skint, accused and needed some mates. Bloody hypocrites the lot of them, let's hope the bandwagon runs them over.

rogerthecat I'm nodding. Its like a sermon/church service for a saint/Mandela.

Not an 80's singer who was dogged/mired in sex allegations against minors.

Hora - why the hell couldn't you have spelled minors incorrectly?
The comedic value would have been immeasurable 😀

I was just watching the 'show' and they were reaching the end of a big song and it was building up as if something was gonna happen and I was expecting the coffin to burst open and the man himself blast out the final chorus, what a cynical, disbelieving, untrusting world we (I?) live in.

The man is gone but the glove lives on! chamone!!

Still sadly lacking in mawkish grief compared to your average scouser.

Well, i watched that show last night, and it was brilliant. I haven't laughed that much in ages. fair enoigh, it was in the pub and the commentary was suberb
"He's ging to touch the coffin"
"What coffin? OMG there's a coffin in front of the stage- is he going to touch it?" "HE'S TOUCHED THE COFFIN - "

"When a black man turned up and asked for a nice suit because he was going to a funeral, did Smokey Robinson's taylor think he was dealing with Stevie Wonder?"

"Did the Jackson Five (EDIT: Sorry, Four) think that 4 pairs of gloves wa a bit extravagent, so just bought 2 and shared them out?"

"Does this mean we'll be seeing more of LaToyah?"

Brilliant, when's the next one?

Watched some footage of this on breakfast telly this morning.

Unbelievable.

So incredibly bad that it was good!

Must refer to them as the Jackson Four from now on!

😀

😛

What a crock though - and I cannot believe it was covered live by terrestrial television.

Just caught a bit of it on breakfast news, where some dopey woman (expert?!) was discussing it. Were they all really wearing shades at the funderal?
The mention of his son's name was just the icing on the cake! 😆
