Michael Jackson died, and its sad when anyone dies. But I didn’t know him, so I didn’t cry or even feel much of a loss when it was confirmed. Mostly, the day it happened, our entire newsroom just jumped into breaking news coverage mode. I was also more concerned with the fact that I was going to be off in a few days for vacation.
However, everyone else wanted a glimpse of MJ, er, his memorials. Whilst I drove my houseguests around the next week, we happened to stumble upon Jackson’s rental in Holmby Hills, which I didn’t realize was along Sunset. Belinda cajoled me into stopping, so I figured I better get some photos for the blog. The set is here.
Was anyone else wondering who the woman singing the lead on “Heal The World” was? I was. Turns out she’s a SoCal native of Japanese and black descent. I only noticed her because it was on both screens at the gym that day. I found out who she was via RollingStone.com.
