Yeah, my Southern thing is "Good grief, give the guy dignity in death!" On the other hand, I tend to feel he'd probably love the complete OTT of all of this.

And it really wasn't a matter of feeling 'too cool'. I owned an Air Supply LP. Air. Supply. (::dies a little inside with shame::) I just distinctly remember thinking that I wouldn't buy the LP because I heard Thriller all the time anyway, even without owning it, and I couldn't imagine needing to hear it yet more.
