RIP in 2009

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I could see wanting to be there for the spectacle. If I were to get tickets it wouldn't be to rend my clothes and sob, but to be there in the moment, though I am a fan.

As mentioned in an earlier post from me, at least some of the decision was probably based on the fact that he was already rehearsing at Staples. I am guessing that the location was already paid for (as well as staging, lights, sound, video), so using it for the memorial was the least-cost venue.
