Michael Jackson All Around The World Newser

The World Newser, the blog for ABC News’ World News with Charles Gibson, is taking a global view of Michael Jackson’s death with dispatches from countries including Germany, Kenya, Pakistan, China, France and Japan, along with a look at how the news of Jackson’s passing affected the online world.

In one particularly interesting entry, The World Newser shared the lyrics to “Morphine,” a song from Jackson’s Blood on the Dance Floor album, which contain numerous references to Demerol. TMZ reported Friday morning that the singer’s death may have been caused by an overdose of the pain medication.
