NO!

I second that NO!

The last Michael Jackson album that I bought was Ben ... when it first came out.

No, but I was endlessly looping the YouTube video of the "Simpsons" animation of "Do the Bartman," if that counts for anything. Unbelievably, Sunday night before "The Simpsons" was the first time I had seen the video........ (Not that unbelievable, if you factor in that I've never watched MTV or the like....)

no, why? don't need to, there's no problem finding a radio station not playings his records.

i downloaded Thriller, by way off the vast free-ness that is the Internet. I mean, it's not like he needs my money these days.

Too soon?

Allan, I contributed a few grafs to this 7 Ways Michael Jackson Changed the World. My favorite line was:

His death leaves many questions, not the least of them being what, exactly, does "Shamone" mean?

No, but I pulled out my vinyl albums and blared them. Did the same thing when Jerry Garcia died. MJ, like him or not, was a visionary.

I sure did, about 30 mins after the media confirmed that he died. I ordered Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad from amazon.com. I still had the Thriller album, but I wanted to have the cd's for convenience (it's not like you can play an album just anywhere). Glad I ordered it when I did, because I heard amazon.com sold out that day.

Thanks for the e-mails and comments, everybody. Here's a link to a piece I did, which ran in today's paper:

the only ones that i have are Blood on the Dance Floor and Dangerous

Yes. I ordered the DVD of the Bucharest concert, which is brilliant.

About Sam Sessa
I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
