Well, when he said, "This Is It," he wasn't kidding. And when L.A. City Attorney Carmen "NUCH" Trutanich said Staples Center/AEG would be paying the city back for the Jackson Memorial, he was. BUT NOW, looks like it's all's well that ends well, because at least I was sent this spam email (maybe because I posted a Michael Jackson video on my blog today and because I am known for singing and performing just like him) -- OR, because I submitted my email address for FREE tickets for the Jackson Memorial Event (that I wouldn't have been able to attend, anyway, cause it was at the same time as "public comment" at the city council meeting) -- AND NOW THAT THERE IS A PAID MOVIE, THAT IS CERTAIN TO INCLUDE FOOTAGE FROM THIS EVENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY CITY OF LOS ANGELES TAXPAYER DOLLARS OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND -- and they know I have retired from council meetings, maybe they think I'll be able to go. Except this one isn't free. So, I'll just by the bootleg DVD off the downtown streets the day after THIS event.
