Sure there's a lot of hoop-la over MJ, but I'll bet most of it is far from celeb worship. I see a lot of people wanting to congregate at a place that had some meaning or ties to MJ, just so they can say "I was there when".....and there are many ways that sentence could be finished.

I don't remember this much criticism of a situation when Elvis passed.
There was no internet back then.

As for the celeb worship, you haven't seen the scenes from Detroit - it's enough to make one gag. Please, I don't mean to be rude or contrary, but why would someone feel such an overwhelming need to be at a specific spot?

Edit: Of course it is celeb worship. There were two 50 year old local men whose obits were in our local paper the other day. No one is wailing on a street corner - laying wreaths and flowers and toys on their front lawns.
