Music lovers in Tennessee can forget about Michael Jackson Day. The King of Pop has joined Memphis native son Justin Timberlake as the latest celeb to fail to meet the Tennessee Senate’s standards for an honoring resolution.
The proposed resolution honoring the late pop superstar received only seven votes in favor and six against. Measures need at least 17 votes to pass the state’s upper chamber. In 2007, the State Senate rejected a petition to honor Timberlake because his lyrics are “too racy.”
