Former Beatles frontman Paul McCartney held a concert Saturday night in Washington, DC. One of the highlights of the night was his rendition of Michelle, which he dedicated to the First Lady. Unfortunately, she was not in attendance as she had already left for Camp David by then. Maybe next time.

Michael Jackson Mourned Around The World
The memorial for Michael Jackson was held at the Staples Center yesterday, and it was an astounding success. For those who were there in person, there could not have been a more moving array of performances. For those in other parts of the world, staying up till the wee hours of the morning was nothing, just as long as they could witness the tribute to their idol. He may be gone, but he will be forever remembered.
MJ Memorial Tickets Released
Michael Jackson fans are starting to go crazy over the passes that are slowly being released. Over a million fans joined an online “lottery” to get the chance to win a pass to the memorial that is going to be held tomorrow at the Staples Center. Only 8,750 winners will be chosen. As early as yesterday, people have been announcing that they’ve got the Golden Ticket. I doubt that I’ll be one of them. Otherwise, I’d have known by now, right?
