Michael Jackson; The Last Seat On The Bandwagon; and American Taxpayers’ Dollars

It’s six weeks now since Jacko’s addiction to anaesthesia lulled him into a sleep that was a little too deep. And finally, the kneejerk outpouring of hyperbolic public hysteria is showing some signs of relenting.

Not to miss their spot on the bandwagon before it threatened to career into absurdity, however, North Devon’s modestly titled Steve Tucker All Star Jazz Band recorded a new song as a tribute to The King of Pop.

Curiously, it’s a cover a song by The Everly Brothers (All I Have To Do Is Dream). Quite what the link is to MJ is anyone’s guess, but presumably we’ll have to wait for Don or Phil Everly to meet their maker before The Steve Tucker All Star Jazz Band smash through a rendition of Thriller. Anyway, it’s on their MySpace.

Despite his notoriety, I’m unsure whether the ongoing investigation into Wacko’s death is the most prudent use American taxpayers’ dollars. Surely the resolution as to who or what was culpable is not a contentious point? Just blame it on the boogie.
