So True So False, STSF

There's no headliner. No real sense of organization. No rights to any of Michael Jackson's songs (file that one under "oversights"). And not a whole lot of time left.

In the meantime, the involuntary manslaughter trial of Michael's physician, Conrad Murray, concluded its second week today, the jury spending the afternoon listening to Murray's initial interview with detectives following Jackson's death.
