Yale holds a conference on the so-called King of Pop. Was there any mention of his narcissism? His life truly serves as an example to others and could be summed up in three simple words: don't go there.

No, no, no. They got it all wrong. They're bringing soft science types. They forgot to hire a team of xobiologists. That's the Ivy League for ya...
Leave aside the particulars of this particular conference and the POVs expressed in the CNN article.
Why is the *very idea* of an academic conference on an artist and star of Jackson's magnitude so batty and mockworthy (this is not the first "can you believe this" item I've read)? I really thought Old Right snobbishness toward popular culture had been outgrown.
Further, how can a Michael Jackson conference not have at least some panels and mentions and papers on race and homosexuality -- although, again, the particular points in the CNN article are so PC-batty, and I'll take a wild stab and guess that this particular conferemce will over-obsess on them.
