They always come in three....not cool!

Michael Jackson....By now everyone has heard the news. Famous deaths always come in threes.....that's and old wives's tale....but it did happen this week!

Interesting coverage of this issue....

My first exposure was on talk radio....no surprise there. My buddy Frank Opinion from KTRS had an interesting spin on his death. He said he knew that there would be hours upon hours of coverage of this issue and that people would be saying what a great guy he was...what a great loss to the world. Boy was he right! But what he went onto explain was his thought about Jacko. He said good riddens...the guy was a pedophile and if he wasn't rich....he would be behind bars. He went on a mini rant on how....yes the guy was a talent....15 years ago....but today there was no big loss.

Frank also believes that OJ is guilty. Both of these guys were acquitted of all criminal charges. So should we remember them as guilty? I am not sure.

I think the WSJ had the best opening line.
"While he led a controversial life, there is no doubt about his talent and impact on the music industry."

I am not going soft on criminal behavior, I just have to live in our justice system.
