MR. RIGHT: Now that America's become distracted we're going all out to push the extreme right wing agenda through Congress. We just introduced legislation to quit funding those left-wing obstructionist public television stations. |
 |
COOL LEE: I'm flipping channels to see who has the best coverage of the Michael Jackson case. I love Michael Jackson. The jury's gotta know that Thriller is the all-time best selling album. |
 |
GURU DION: I'm not following the case but I do want to point out that it's not true Michael Jackson has the best selling album of all time. I looked it up. At one time that might have been true, but by the end of the last century it was Eagles Greatest Hits, Volume I, which I'll take any day of the week over disco, which destroyed the whole hippy movement - as the scene shifted from brainy music to booty music. |
 |
DJ YOYO JO-Z: I'm throwin' a block party with giant video screens. It'll be an incredible
celebration when they announce the not guilty verdict. I'll be all set to play "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." |
 |
JENNIFER: I could care less, other than if he's guilty, he shouldn't get any special privileges for being a celebrity. I'm not really into disco, I like rock and roll - but there's not a lot of good rock
these days on corporate radio. I think first they tried to weed out the rockers, because they were the most rebellious.
But now Janet and Michael Jackson have turned pop into a dirty word and so that's why they're getting cracked on. |
 |
LEFT GUARD LARRY: Michael Jackson was the eighties. If they bust 50 Cent or Jay-Z
for somethin' - then I'll go crazy. For now I just hope they get it over with as soon as possible so it doesn't start to cut into the NBA Finals with the pathetic who cares Wacko Jacko white girl with a melted nose story. Man, I'm still ill from the time they ruined the NBA Finals with the O.J. chase scene. I bet the networks lost half their audience that night. |
 |
BROKER BOB: I'm looking at the big losses in my portfolio today. The market tumbled badly today - and it's all because of the media focusing on the gloomy Michael Jackson story instead of the regular corporate press releases designed to artificially pump up the market. |
 |
FATHER SULLIVAN: I am praying for Michael Jackson. Even though he is accused of sins against God, we must not be too quick to judge and be willing to accept his forgiveness - after he has served a lengthy sentence. |
 |
MOVIE BUFF: I'm running video tape on the whole Jackson case. I'm using it to make my own documentary, not about Michael Jackson, but about me following the Michael Jackson trial. |
