I never have understood the whole Michael Jackson “King of Pop” thing. Sure he was a good singer, but no more king than Frankie Valli, Frank Sinatra, or Bing Crosby before them.

I also don’t get Elvis idolatry.

Similarly, I don’t understand this court filing. Then again, it was filed in France, and the French think that Jerry Lewis was high theatre.

Tony Hicks reports in the San Jose Mercury-News:

A group of the King of Pop’s fans is suing the singer’s former physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, for emotional distress over the star’s 2009 death.

In November, Murray was found guilty of administering the fatal dose of propofol that ended Jackson’s life. But Murray’s four-year sentence doesn’t satisfy members of the Michael Jackson Community, which is based in France. They’ve filed a lawsuit against him for causing them pain and distress.

Pain and distress? If that’s the justification, I should sue every sports team that calls Oakland home.
