What local bars are doing in memory of Michael Jackson
Regardless of what you think about Michael Jackson the person, it’s hard to argue the fact that we’ve lost a music and entertainment legend.
Thursday night, just hours after Jackson’s death spread, local bars and patrons spent their evening remembering Michael Jackson — whether through jukebox tunes just about anywhere, a special Michael Jackson tribute karaoke at Therapy Cafe and we’re sure many more.
Those tributes to Michael Jackson are expected to continue. Here are some special events we know of coming up:
80S NIGHT AND MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE
What: In this special edition of 80s night, South Beach will be paying tribute to Michael Jackson. The kitchen will be open late and DJ Chris Rock will be mixing old MJ hits and playing some of his videos on the big screen.

Where: South Beach Nite Club, 729 Lyons Road, Centerville

Clearly you two have no idea what acquitted means. This country is based upon innocent until proven guilty. He was never proven guilty.

I can tell by the way Jay writes that he’s very ignorant.

He was a very talented man, to bad he had so many problems, it’s so sad he’s life ended the way it did. Maybe now he will have peace.

No one believed in what Mike stood for more than children. He was a very unique individual and though he was quirky..the man loved the worlds’ children, not like the public has made it look but how God wants all to look at-the children our-our future! Listen to “Man in the Mirror”, Then look at yourself in the mirror…then realize who MJ really was. Greatness and world admiration only come to a very chosen few.
