No, I can safely say, with conscience clear, that I had absolutely nothing to do with it. I never asked him to make a concert tour, I never bought any of his music, I never encouraged him to do anything he ever did in any way whatsoever. My hands are completely clean. I just wish we could stop hearing about him.
[Update a while later]
You know the bit about how he claimed that he never had a childhood? It appeared to me that he had a childhood that lasted for five decades.
I would have had to look in the first place to even be guilty of looking away. I have no sympathy for people that do stupid crap to themselves, and even less for morons that try to blame me for it.
I admit it… I sorta liked “Rockin Robin” back in ’72.
Sorry Michael.
Okay, okay! I admit it: I did it. Yeah. Drove all the way to Cali, snuck onto the Neverland ranch, and popped a cap right in his skinny bleached ass. Oh they tried to cover it up — called it a heart attack or drug overdose or whatever — but the truth is he actually died from the humiliation of having a trucker cap with a NASCAR logo embedded in his rectum. I had to do it. I did it… for Johnny!
Boy, I wish they would SHUT UP about it. 🙁
That white woman they were calling “Michael Jackson” those last few years, that wasn’t the real Michael. He’s off somewhere in the Witness Protection Program or something.
(I’m sure somebody believes that for real.)
MJ was my age which makes life seem like a parallel universe. I still like that joke that “Only in America can a poor black boy grow up to become a rich white woman.”
What if Liz Taylor has said yes?
I am not a fan of MJ’s music but I recognize the talent behind it. He lived a fucked-up life, that is obvious and th eoutcome IMO, was pre-ordained.
He was simply too rich and powerful for anyone to say no to. He needed limits and nobody could give them to him save perhaps himself.
MJ was great, especially in the ’80s. The last 15 years? Well, he was creepy. His downward spiral was prolonged and bizarre.
” I had absolutely nothing to do with it. ”
Well, there’s the butterfly effect….
He had a truly disturbed father and probably had some reason to complain, but you are right Rand he turned the rest of his life into some strange pseudo-childhood. No one around him had the courage to tell him he had gone off the deep end a long time ago. And he just kept going.
