A bad person?

Does it make me a bad person if I don't care about all the Michael Jackson media coverage?  Is it tragic?  Yes.  Do I really, deep down care?  No.  He was a great entertainer and changed a lot in the music industry, no one can argue that.  Once he fell off his rocker, I just stopped paying attention to anything he did.  

So when I heard the first reports about his death, I thought that it really was too bad.  Then a week passed, and another week.  I got fed up with it.  There are more important things going on in the world than his death, and it seemed that every time I would stop on the news channels they would be talking about it.  Why doesn't someone develop a television station or two dedicated just to music (oh wait...) to focus on the entire situation.  

I just want it all to go away, as bad as it sounds.  On top of my frustration there was a lottery for tickets to his funeral.  Are you fucking serious?  More important people have died (like Billy Mays!) and I don't recall there being a lottery system for their funeral.  There is something disturbing about that.  Is that what our society is coming to?  Surely I hope not.
