    Overboard? That's an understatement.
    They sold tickets at 50 grand. They had a list of celebrities six feet long.
    It was a publicity stunt for those celebrities, and a cash grab by the rest of his family.
    Seriously. Just like MJ's father is taking the Jackson 5 on a tour around the country, in memory of MJ. RIGHT! He wants the cash from that memory.

    If your talking about the "Jackson three" as the Grandad calls it, then I think it's a bunch of bull****. I don't think the kids can even sing.

    You hit on a few good points, but nobody said he was more popular now then ever (I didn't but I may be wrong about others). I said that he gained popularity. It was a resurgence, after a fashion.

    And a ton of money was made from it, by everyone except the fans.

    Why is nobody mourning Billy Mays, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Oscar Meyer, or Walter Cronkite?
