it was paparazzi madness but this time no one protested. fans, lovers of michael jackson's music clustered and held vigil near the king of pop's star in the walk of fame in the days after his untimely death.
flowers, cards, and posters almost completely covered mj's star; his name could barely be seen through the presents from adoring fans. trying to catch a glimpse of the star involved wrestling and pushing because everyone - local, tourist, fan - wanted to be close to it.
and in downtown LA, by the nokia theatre, crowds clustered to watch videos showcasing mj's life. the night before his memorial, hawkers were trying to sell tshirts with mj's face on them, his music was blasting from every car that passed by, and people were already lining up to be first in line for his memorial.
