Although Michael Jackson's concert tickets weren't snapped up in 7 seconds flat - and failed to mirror the frenzied rush for hot-ticket seats for the McCartney gig slated for April - the Pop Icon was able to boast sold-out shows a few hours after the box office opened its windows.
A thriller is obviously second banana to a mop-top!
Unlike the former Beatle, Jackson pitched his concerts tickets well-in-advance.
Maybe the Pepsi-pusher wasn't sure he'd be able to fill the house; in that event, a sell-out no doubt boosted the child diddler's morale somewhat.
Opening night is slated for July, with a series of gigs to span through the year, and into February of 2010.
Although the unpredicable King of Pop is titling his tour - "This is it" - to signal a final curtain bow, I expect he'll return amid a blaze of glory for an encore, and abtly title the extravaganza - "That was it, then" - or something appropros.
Cher's been pulling that stunt for years, and getting away with it ad nauseam, go figure!
A kind-of eureka moment hit me like lightning out-of-the-blue this morning.
Maybe McCartney & Jackson should team up for a duet on the rocky road back into the spotlight.
Ebony & Ivory!
Great gimmick, eh?
Colonel Parker look out.
