Michael Jackson's Last Hurrah?

He announced it earlier this month and when tickets went on sale his final 'this is it' concert series sold out so fast (in minutes) that they had to add an additional FORTY shows to the originally announced ten. It was unprecidented, unbelievable, and for anyone else on the planet it would be unheard of but this is Michael Jackson we're talking about. The most unbelieveable entertainer of our lifetime. He says this is it. That's the name of the tour in fact--This is IT, he said it over and over with air punches for emphasis... but is it?

I'm sitting here a week after the furor of sales that sold out a million tickets in 5 hours, and the 'Cosby Show' is on. It's from the 80's and they are talking about going to a... guess what... that's right... a Michael Jackson concert, and talking about how he (Michael) is saying it might be his last tour ever. Um... I guess that sort of sheds some light on the possibilities of this one too. How can a bright star turn out the lights? Is it possible? Maybe, but I'm not betting on the end of time coming quite so soon.
