Michael Jackson died......

I understand this is sad news for his family & the music community, but if you don't know him personally I don't understand the strong reactions. Nicola's dance school has cancelled lessons tonight & a whole lot of other Jackson inspired dances. Is this not an over-reaction? Maybe I am just too cynical? I mean he was good & I loved his music but the fact that he has died will not be changing MY life, I do wonder what is gonna happen to his kids? Another fight coming up I recon.
