WHAT a first-class article by Peter Mullen (Echo, July 7) regarding the hoo-ha caused by the passing of Michael Jackson.

Personally, I always considered his performances as being grotesque, what with his white features and idiotic jerky movements. His very appearance on the TV screen was enough to increase my blood pressure by a few degrees.

Unlike Mr Mullen, who watched a 15-minute “news”

item about the “star”, my limit would be about 90 seconds.I would like to echo Mr Mullen’s two-word summing up of the whole affair: Bah, humbug.
