Saw the BET Michael Jackson memorial coverage last night. It was really good and reinforced what I said on the radio yesterday. I don't think Michael was that weird at all. Was his public "Entertainer" image odd? Yep. May I point you to KISS, Alice Cooper, Bowie etc.
Maybe, just maybe he did the weird stuff for his public image to uhh umm get ready for this... get people to ask why he did those things?! What a concept!
A rock star gets inked up or pierced everywhere and no questions asked.
He was accused of all kinds of things by media outlets that have a HORRIBLE track record at getting it right or telling the truth. People hear stories over and over and it just becomes "true." How hard would it be to plant a Michael Jackson story? Pretty easy. How hard is it to undo those stories? Pretty hard.
I'll take more people like Michael in the world.
Sharpton had a great line ""I want his children to know there was nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what your daddy had to deal with."
I love that song "Leave Me Alone"
