I will say this: Michael Jackson had more people willing to make excuses for him than anyone else I can remember. He had a disease that turned his skin white, he had a mental illness that made him think it was ok to sleep with little boys, etc. etc. etc.
He was just plain creepy. They say that the difference between craziness and eccentricity is money.

Optimism is a choice. Cynicism isn't smarter, it's just easier.

On a lighter note (maybe...) news reaches us of a prison facility in the Phillipines that endorses the use of dance to rehab its inmates. Many examples from 2007 onwards to be found on UTube but naturally this one's getting prominence......26 million views in the past coupla days.
Now, I warn you, tis weird on many levels, WELL weird actually..... but yet..........there's somehow something dead good going on there IMHO.......

Look out, the parish beadle's about
Still, at least they've got Michael's brain back. Just how surreal is this story going to become, I wonder.

One wonders what Harriet Lester (15) is thinking about all this.
Wonder if her dad stopped to consider her (and her other siblings) before spouting forth with his 'revelations'.
Jeezo and FFS.
Who'd be the child of a 'celebrity', eh? Katie Price and Peter Andre are also dragging their kids through the mire of their dysfunctional relationship in the press, as does the highly misguided Kerry Katona.
It's a ###### disgrace if you ask me.

Oh man...
I just got a call from M'manager Sharkey. He says a press release is being prepared to claim that I am the Jackson childrens Mother. I mean the 90s are clearer than the 60s and more in focus than th'70s but who says I can't get a celeb deal from some magazone or a TV series, mucho fab !
years ago i had a bad dream about a paternity suit at either end of th' street, these days it's amazing what value those DNA tests hav.

Here's a turn up for the book.
~This is it~ - DVD - Bought it for my daughter for Easter - Had a quick watch while Mrs Groover did the ironing and I lay about like a bad stain in a bad mood.
Guiess what ?
It's really good !
Weird yes, but totally into every detail of his show. Seems a lot of the hype wasn't.
Well done that dead dude. (Apart from stealing m'dance moves y'know)

This Forum is has probably the most balanced comments so far on MJ !
Some of the American sites are unbelievable with many idolising him and more talking as if he was the anti anti anti Christ.
Don't think we will ever know the story of his life -so many contradictions.
What I've cherry picked out of some of the things that I've read is that he was psychologically disturbed so much so that he thought he was a child in his head and could not accept that other people didn't understand that he innocently slept with children like a sleepover..
What parent would let a child sleepover with him?
Maybe one who wanted to exploit him?
It's also been stated that he paid the parents money on advice from his leeches because he was bringing a book or an album out and it would be the best thing to do!!
I'm inclined to believe that theory and that they tried to cover that up rather than cover up that he was an actual paedophile. ??? But who knows?
What parent would take money from the person they were saying abused their child?
HIs sister La Toya was forced by her abusive ex husband to say that Jackson was an abuser and when she retracted her statement she was beaten up by him. Jackson later forgave her.
Two of the jurors later sensationally said that they wished they hadn't acquitted him however that same week they were launching their book about the trial. La La land law
Don't suppose we'll ever know the truth - it's all so sad for his family. I hope his children remember the good times with him and God help them when they're older and read all the blah that will be written about him.
Yesterday, Dr Conrad Murray was convicted of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.
His trial painted him as 'a reckless caregiver who administered a lethal dose of a powerful anesthetic that killed the pop star.'
So another chapter in the Michael Jackson story.

It seems to have taken a long time. Looks like the drugs being used by the doctor were normally used for people being operated on. Very heavy duty but Michael was probably compliant. Another talented guy gone through drugs.

4 gallons of the stuff, by some reports.
The details of Jackson as being bankrupt, bald, skeletal and almost blind were pitiful. I can't say I agree with the Jackson family statement that without that fatal dose Jackson would still have been alive today. Given the amount of medical interventions he needed just to function it looked like he was fading fast. I doubt the London tour would have happened.
It's a gross indictment of the music business that the likes of Conrad Murray exist to willing support and sustain a vulnerable, disheveled junkie, no matter how talented. If Murray had been doing his job he would have got Jackson into a rehab facilty, not pander to his drug addiciton.
