One Year Ago Today, The Music Stopped...


Today marks the one-year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s unexpected death and several TV networks are providing coverage of the fallen superstar throughout most of the weekend. In addition to tribute specials, including the BET Awards, which will air and honor Michael this Sunday evening, there will be video countdowns, tours of Neverland Ranch, and various documentaries about him. There will also be specials on his entourage, children, family, and the conspiracy theories surrounding his death. Here is a listing of several programs about the "King of Pop" that will be airing this weekend, starting today. And, no doubt, his music will be in heavy rotation on radio stations across the globe for the next few days as well. Sometimes, I still can't believe he's gone. - :(
