They don't put captions on these people.

I had to mute the sound for Mariah Carey.

4. How many hours is this going to go on?
I hear there is a new Senator and a committee talking about health care. I would love to see some real news. Of the channels I might watch, local and satellite, I counted at least a dozen showing the memorial. That doesn't include stations like Fox which I have programmed out of my line-up.

5. Smokey Robinson and Barry Gordy by far the BEST at the MJ memorial service.
The most personal and funny recollections, and without seeming at all rehearsed.

Poor John Mayer was playing out his part in the sketch from Chappelle Show where it is demonstrated that black people do not respond to electric rock guitar.

9. I liked Brooke Shields tribute too.
She was so genuine. And considering that the women in his life weren't there (like his two wives) it was great to have a woman honor him as a true friend.

12. Forgot to mention how much I liked Magic Johnson too.
Michael Jackson eats KFC??? Priceless.

11. We had an emergency and I missed THE WHOLE THING.
Is it going up somewhere or will it be rebroadcast?
