Miko's blog pretty much sums it up for me. Watching Larry King right now with Miko and a man, Dave who is a burn victim. He was befriended by Michael and was basically like the father he never had (his words).

Do we know if Lisa Marie and Debbie are actually going to the funeral?

Liz Taylor, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder are the only ones confirmed as far as I know.

Very sad. But his body is finally going to be put to rest.

His passing will finally sink in, I just can't work out if I want it to or not.

One thing that makes me very happy is the privacy of the whole thing. Something Michael has always begged and pleaded for. He now has it. That puts a smile on my face.

Agreed.

But why am I looking at an aerial view of Liz Taylor being wheeled in? I'm changing the channel. I tuned in to hear Larry's guests speak on Michael, not to see who's arriving in what car, etc. This isn't right. The media's a ho.

Why is the media there? CNN or not, I thought this was a PRIVATE thing. Honestly, I'm a bit pissed that the family is allowing this...maybe they're doing it for the fans but for some reason it bothers me, but that's just my opinion

Yeah, I have Sky News on at the moment and they're just showing people being driven in and signing in and whatever else. They're waiting for the Jackson family to arrive.

Any interesting channels to tune into right now?

They said that they're going to stop filming when the coffin arives..don't know if I can watch it until then. I can just see myself tearing up and that's the last thing I want.

I was tuned into CNN. There are 4 cameras doing feeds so the family must be allowing this. As long as there aren't parts of the service televised, I'll be okay. I think this really should be kept private and intimate.

The press is so f*cking thirsty. Damn! Does anyone know if fans will be able to visit and leave flowers and things for him at the sight.

Nope, from what I keep hearing, nobody will be able to go and pay their respects, except for family and close friends.

I told myself I wasn't going to watch it, but now I can't help it.

Is the funeral still going on? It looks real dark over there. Al Sharpton is on CNN talking.

Wow. So the whole family still hasn't arrived yet? Wow....

Guys...Michael died 70 days ago. 70 days. Can you guys believe it? It all seems like it happened so long ago, but the wounds are still fresh. :( I'm getting teary eyed over here.
