Jim can't get away from the Michael Jackson death. Everyone is talking. The media spews 24 hours of white noise coverage. Jim reflects on Jackson's impact on culture in the last 40 years. No need to hear what Celine Dion has to say. It's all the same. We all dance. Jim walks down the street and hears "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" coming from a passing car. A smile comes to his face as he remembers dancing with his then girlfriend at his best friend's wedding. Not a bored face anywhere.
This memory is stopped by the sight of a middle aged man selling RIP Michael Jackson shirts from the back of his van. He sighs. Culture's thousands of layers upon us bearing down. Jim just went home and slept.
