Live-Blogging the Michael Jackson Memorial

[Comment From Ben Greenman ]
Now watching a live feed, raw feed, of the Staples Center. The cars bringing the body and family members from Forest Lawn to the public memorial have been en route for a little while now. Probably I'm not the only person who flashed back to O.J.'s slow-speed chase fifteen years ago as I watched the cars come down the cleared freeway.

Ben Greenman -  The helicopter pilot on the raw feed said that the body is in "a gold casket with flowers on top." Someone else emailed me to say that Jackson is being buried without his brain, because they needed it to finish toxicology. There’s something eerie about so many people watching Michael Jackson in death. I’ll try to figure out exactly what it is as we go through this massive, bloated, sad event.

[Comment From Sasha Frere-Jones]
The OJ parallel is way too apt. When was the last time we watched something all at the same time?
