Who’s bad?
This morning on one of the radio stations here in town, the DJ proclaimed himself King of the Coachella Valley and read on the air an e-mail from a loyal subject: "King Casey, can you make the news cover something other than Michael Jackson?" He replied, "Even as king, I don't know if I can do that."
Yes, we in The Media (a wholly owned subsidiary of The Man) have gone all out in our coverage of all things Michael Jackson in the two weeks since the pop star died. Even I got in on the act this week with a profile of a La Quinta man who once worked at Motown Records and often traveled with a young MJ during his days in the Jackson 5.
He was a really cool guy, so if by some chance you haven't already gotten your fill of Jackson coverage, you can check out the short piece on Eddie Gilreath I wrote for the daily. And hey, don't stop till you get enough: You can also read a longer story about Gilreath's interaction with the Jacksons in today's La Quinta Sun.
