It started Friday and went on through yesterday, the memorial tribute to Michael Jackson at the Experience Music Project. Jackson's signature glove and jacket were on display inside and the EMP Sky Church played his videos. Outside people moved to his music playing as they read and photographed the spontaneous chalk tributes others had left on the steps and sidewalk in front of the building. Just across Seattle Center's campus the International Fountain played Jackson's recordings and served as a gathering place for people wishing to gather to remember the King of Pop, and I noticed Easy Street Recods, just a few blocks away, had paid tribute on their lighted sign.
