    The King of Pop Michael Jackson's death struck some Knoxville bloggers as eerily familiar to another king's death, or depending on your era, "The King's" death.

    Radio personality Frank Murphy says "Someone should write a book comparing the lives and deaths of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley." The News Sentinel's Michael Silence also sees parallels between "The King" and the "King of Pop."

    Terry Morrow of Knoxville.com has a suggested song list to remember Jackson.

    Instapundit blogger Glenn Reynolds said he received emails about Jackson's life could have been saved with an inexpensive device.

    Domestic Psychology says it was bad day for the 70s. And Ramblin' man about town Randall Brown has some reminisces of Jackson's Neyland Stadium stop in 1984.

    Below are more of what Knoxville area bloggers were saying late Thursday about the death of pop star Michael Jackson. These links were drawn from the Knoxville Blog Network, a central place to see what Knoxville's blogging community is talking about. Go to the Blog Network and search for "Michael Jackson" and you'll get even older posts written before the singer's death.
