Strangely, TalkingPointsMemo (http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2009/06/i_suppose_everyone_was_surprised.php#more?ref=fpblg) had one of the better takes on Jackson's death that I've seen. It's a little surprising how much coverage his death is getting and in how many places(the first place I saw reference to it was Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5302690/michael-jackson-has-died), which didn't seem that strange because he did have a video game connection and was supposedly working on a new game), but that breadth of coverage just a sign of how much of footprint he had in popular culture, to say nothing of how diverse the reactions of people who feel strongly enough about the matter to cover it can be.
