MJ Tributes

Over this past summer, better yet, these past few months, the world has lost many important and irreplaceable people in all sorts of industry. People like Farrah Fawcett, Ed Macmahon, Billy Mays (the man.), Ted Kennedy, Steve McNair and of course the legendary Michael Jackson.

My idea today refers to the last one mentioned, Mr. Jackson, and the amount of tributes and attention given to him. How long will this last? How long should it last? Respectively, he contributed many factors and important parts to not only the music but the entertainment world as a whole, and is known as the "King of Pop", for deserved reasons. but is this truly enough basis to have every single well known band, celebrity, child and even the unborn be affected and almost hypnotized with his tributes and his life in general? Band's like U2 performing tributes to the "legend" not only on their first night playing, but also their most recent performance last night in New Jersey, the first part is understandable, but is the second really necessary?

The tributes that really mean something, are the ones coming from a selection of people within the enterainment, better yet music buisness, such as the MTV Award's tribute to the King, which was of i think much better taste and much more effective than single band's or individuals performing bits and pieces, here and there. And i truly think that should be enough of the tributes for Michael Jackson, unleast until his birthday or anniversary of death or something along those lines.

And to Facebook (users), the poll to have a "Michael Jackson appreciation day" or whatever it was, nah.
