You guys probably already know, but for those of you that don't. There's going to be a public memorial service for Michael Jackson.

For more details click on the link http://www.staplescenter.com/memorial.php

Good luck to all of you. If I get tickets, I am taking a non stop road trip from Miami all the way to L.A.

It kinda sucks they they are holding a huge public even in Cali.We're so f***ing broke they had to closed my school this quarter, and even though this is likely to be privately ran the tow state is going to have to spend a ton keeping this massive event in check.

Honestly.... Its not really b****ing, we are that broke.

Like I said we don't really even have the money to keep schools open, let alone host a party.

But Cali is doing so well at steering the country with their regulations, programs and such.... lol

Wonder how many rabid MJ fans will try and run out to touch the coffin or something....

Sure is... ...so is the James Brown mixtape.

It's sad that he isn't buried yet. Why do we, as people, have to make a spectacle of a famous figure.

When Celia Cruz died in 2003, there was a public viewing here in Miami. I didn't go, but I saw the super long lines of people waiting to see the viewing. The line must have stretched for miles under the hot South Florida sun.

His body will not be at the memorial service. That would be pandemonium...

He was a private citizen, why is the local government supposed to pick up the tab for this shindig? I think the people's republic of california owes its workers some IOU payoffs. Let Sony pay for this menagerie.

California earns a mountain of revenue from famous people and has taken in millions in various taxes from Jackson and his family.

I was in Hollywood a month ago for the day - I wonder if every day is Halloween, or if everyone there just has something to prove.

I LOL'ed at 75% of the people I saw walk by.
