Nevermind on Neverland

Neverland

The hordes of fans who've flocked to Neverland Ranch in hopes of paying a final tribute to the King of Pop will have to, er, beat it. Contrary to earlier reports that Jackson's body would be on display at the ranch this week, a family rep has announced that no public or private memorial will take place at Neverland -- however, "plans are underway regarding a public memorial" elsewhere. Jackson's family has apparently had trouble getting the proper permits for a Neverland memorial, US Weekly reports, and it may be moved to the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

I'm not certain Jacko really holds the title on Neverland anymore. What better way to reduce the value of a property like that then to have him buried there?

I'm sure that whoever is holding the lien would damn well make sure MJ's body wasn't there to make the place a loser magnet.

Jackson's rental house is in my neighborhood and the get-a-life crowd have been holding vigil there. A hazard to navigation.

This just in. His body will be carried on a horse-drawn caisson from Holmby Hills to Gary, IN.

The procession will take four months as it crosses the country and it is expected that 100 million people will pay their respects as it passes.

Not since Lincoln's funeral train rolled slowly from Washington to Springfield, IL will so many have stood by for so long to witness such a passage.

Not necessary Chan. He has children who love him.

That's good. I was hoping he'd be buried in Gary, not Neverland. Who knows what will happen to Neverland in the future? Best in a cemetary in Gary, IN.
