Michael Jackson

Hello everybody!
Today is a day of mourning.
Michael Jackson is dead.

On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home on North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal physician were
unsuccessful.

Now the newspapers, and especially the News Channels, have new food to acquire customers.

This situation reminds me on François Truffaut's movie "The 400 Blows" (French: "Les Quatre Cents Coups", German: "Sie küssten und sie schlugen ihn").

First Michael Jackson was admired and hailed, then he was persecuted and outlawed, and now he is dead and people are mourning.

This is not the first time that this pattern happens here in this country.

There are a lot of other cases, too.
Only a few recuperate from this kind of celebrity torture.

Why?

When will people change?
When will there be an end of crucifying extraordinary people?
