Her death was front page news in The New York Times for two days . Numerous vigils and memorials were held in her honor, and radio stations in Texas played her music non-stop . Her funeral drew 60,000 mourners, many of whom traveled from outside the United States . The news struck the Hispanic community extremely hard; many fans traveled thousands of miles to see Selena's house and boutiques, and the crime scene . By mid-afternoon, police were asked to form a detour because a line of cars began backing up traffic from the Quintanillas' houses . Among the celebrities who were reported to have contacted the Quintanilla family to express their condolences were Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz, Julio Iglesias, and Madonna .

Stern said, "This music does absolutely nothing for me . Alvin and the Chipmunks have more soul...Spanish people have the worst taste in music . They have no depth ." Stern's comments outraged and infuriated the Hispanic community in Texas . Stern played Selena's songs with gunshots in the background on his show .

Stern was not formally charged . The League of United Latin American Citizens boycotted Stern's show, finding his apology unacceptable . Texas retailers removed any products that were related to Stern, while Sears and McDonald's sent a letter stating their disapproval of Stern's comments to the media, because some fans believed the companies sponsored Stern's show . Within a week, on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Stern and Robin Quivers (his co-host) were asked whether Stern's remarks about Selena were acceptable . Quivers decided not to talk about the situation to avoid arguing with Stern .

Others said, "Easter is more important than Selena Day", and that they believed people should let Selena rest in peace and continue with their lives . Mexican Americans in Texas wrote vociferously to the newspaper . Some said others were too critical of Selena Day, and should not have responded so rudely . </P>
