"Sunflowers are now blooming outside Michael Jackson's crypt.Grower Jason Levin on Friday delivered as many as 2,000 sunflowers to the massive marble and concrete Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale.Levin says he decided to donate the $3,000 to $5,000 worth of bright yellow flowers after hearing Lisa Marie Presley complain that there were only a few bouquets, candles and gifts surrounding the tomb. And Levin heard sunflowers were the late pop star's favorite.Levin, the owner of the Sunflower Guy in Vista (San Diego County), loaded up a truck and left at dawn. Three hours later, he was unloading the flowers outside the heavily guarded mausoleum.Jackson died at age 50 on June 25."
Perfect. There's a poem in here somewhere. And say what you want about MJ, but his work--perfect, perfect pop--will endure. My first album was Bad and it still spins like a dream. (I should specify: the first album that was bought for me, as I was only three years old at the time.) I still remember singing "Man in the Mirror" to the mirror.
