Could Neverland be the next Graceland?

All minds point to YES.

Not since Elvis has a music artist been more loved than Michael Jackson. He touched countless people in the world through his music, and even I must admit he did something Elvis couldn't: he touched people of all races, cultures, ethnicities. Elvis' influence cannot be denied, but as a seasoned veteran of Candlelight Vigils at Graceland, Elvis is more beloved by Caucasians. Michael Jackson has influenced almost every popular singer out there today, and I dare myself to find someone who does not love at least one Michael Jackson song. Unfortunately, in my experience, the same cannot be said for Elvis.

It is just a matter of seconds before Neverland is made a registered national landmark, like Graceland is. The tours will commence as soon as the place can get cleaned up and a glossy new coat of commercialism be painted on its gates. Would I ever want to see Neverland? I think the answer is definitely YES. I want to see where Michael lived, was inspired, and found solace. I think it would be a great tour...starting at the bargain basement price of $50. Is the tacky strip mall of merchandising outlets up across the street yet? No? Give Joe a few more minutes. He does have a memorial service to attend.
