Michael Jackson gets bell tribute in Minneapolis
Article Tools
When you hear tender Michael Jackson tunes like "Ben" and "You Are Not Alone" running through your head this morning, it won't just be tearful nostalgia. As noted on the MPR site this morning, the landmark bells of Minneapolis' City Hall and the Hennepin County Courthouse will be put to use in a musical tribute to the suddenly deceased pop icon, from 11:30 to 11:50 a.m. If you're downtown—and if the boss will allow it—you're advised to take part in what may be a rare opportunity to observe this sadly momentous occasion before the ongoing media avalanche sucks all the poignancy out of it.
