Michael Jackson Second Line

By Tess

Well, the King of Pop didn’t really have a New Orleans connection, but we threw him a party anyway. Like we do.

Normally, a Second Line follows after a funeral or memorial service, but since he’s not being buried here regardless, I guess they decided to just go ahead and do it now. After all, is he even being buried? I remember hearing talk about a cryogenic process, but who knows if that was truth or tabloid fodder.

Whichever, it was held on Sunday afternoon in ungodly, stifling heat, but that didn’t stop everybody from dancing up a storm and having a great time. (to be fair, not everybody. I wimped out at home, in the AC, which is why I’m cheating and using the Times Picayune’s video.)

About NNO

Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~

I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

So now I own a NOLA-themed shop , and am part time at the Preservation Resource Center, which works to "preserve the historic neighborhoods that make New Orleans unique." I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and play in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
