This AEG company also filmed Jackson’s final rehearsal the day before his death, in HD with multiple cameras and surround sound recording. I wouldn’t be surprised if they killed him for maximum profits.
From the full article:
AEG Live said full refunds were available for all legitimately bought tickets, but suggested some fans of the singer, who died on Thursday, would prefer to receive a ticket “inspired and designed by Michael Jackson for the fans” and made with a “special lenticular process”. They are not able to have both.“Since he loved his fans in life, it is incumbent upon us to treat them with the same reverence and respect after his death,” Randy Phillips, the president and chief executive of AEG Live, said.
Bonus points to the commenter who said, “I misread that phrase as ‘special testicular process’, cradled as it was among a load of old bollocks.”
“Remember when…we dressed up neat to go to school? When there were no drugs? No drive-bys? When a neighbor felt free to whoop you if you did wrong, and if your parents found out about it, they’d whoop you again? When there were no serial rapists? No kidnappings? When we got to play outside until the streetlights came on?”
Remember when.
