You blokes are really lucky. I never see MJ on tv unless it's my tapes or
the repeats on VH1!

Although i wonder if they, like so many other's will concentrate the handy work
of a cynical American plastic surgeon? Or will they instead address a point of
view that's so muched missed in pop music today. Will they voice the fans point of
view, and actually look at the Extortion and Scam Artiists that have been responcible
for silenceing this mavric protester (circa 91, Dangerous), or will they take the
manipulated frenzy of the tabloid world and the unsatisfactory investigation of
Michael's counter claim. I just hope the important message that Micheal continues
to promote will take precidence.
Michael should have been to the 90's, what Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley or even
Elvis Presly was to the 70's. He should have been, as George Bush called him, a
Point Of Light Ambassador. .
"Everyone's taking control of me,
Seems the world's got a role for me
I'm so confused will you show to me
You'll be there for me
and care enough to bare me" - Michael Jackson, Will You Be There
He should have been a focal point for the good in the world. An example
to others in that genra of popular culture. A focal point for those who want better
Instead, he now has that single extortionate lie attached to his name. That single
lie that so many in the media, who ought to know better, take as their only point of
reference.

yeah, thats what im worried about, dont u think he has had enough bad
publicity resonantly? I mean, I know they will bring the whole peadophile
thing up, and instead of focusing on the truth, they talk a load of bollox
about what the tabloids believe. I have to say, im really worried about
this.

He can do that here. We've got 5 bodies here and we can invite the

You bet. What is that, the gaffer or something? But we'd need one from
each angle. We've got a stage (flatbed wagon), bleachers (stacked hay bales
in a stair fashion) and plenty of power in our machine shed. Oh yeah, you
didn't want too much power. Maybe for the background we could use a cello,
a flute and an acoustic guitar and a skin drum, of course.
I can't have the audience tracking through my house to use the bathroom but
we live in a rural setting so privacy won't be a huge problem.

Considering Michael's name was used in the national press to promote this
program i expected better. Knowing full well they would be attracting the
fans to boost their ratings, i expected at least a fan's point of view, but No!
It seems when talking of Michael Jackson the only way we are suppose to
relate to him is via the tabloids, hence this openly tabloid treatment of
Michael's UK visit.
Billed as 'the truth behind Michael Jackson new image' and 'unmasking
the new Michael Jackson and revealing the influence of his friends',
this program was fronted by an hack determined to out do The Sun (UK tab)
with bis tabloid credentials. His commentary was that of the cynical hack
rooting around for some new controversial angle on Michael.
Of the talking head featured the only one to see Michael in the wider
perspective of the popular music industry, was the person from 'Q Magazine'
(the UK's leading magazine on the rock pop industry), his were the only
comments to lend any gravitates to this profile of Michael.
Whilst casting the tabloid eye on Uri Geller and Rabbi Botech ( who both
spoke ably in support of Michael. Uri's comments repeated three times
during the course of the program), the program was also an opportunity
to air all the classic clips, from the early J5 footage to Michael's biggest
UK hit, Earth Song. ( Bubbles and the hyperbolic chamber got
mentions too ;)
Sadly, little time was spent addressing the issues of Michael's Oxford
speech, it seems the tone of this piece was decided weeks prior. That said,
the program ended with the almost begrudging quotes : -
"Michael Jackson certainly impressed with his sincerity at Oxford"
"in PR terms he wont of have done his forth coming album any
harm at all"

Wasn't it painful to watch Michael at Uri's booksigning? He looked like he
was miserable. With the development of the broken foot, he probably should
have flown in and gone to Oxford & the wedding and skipped the rest.
Nat
Reporter or Distorter? Makes you wonder about the other reports
you accept as factual, doesn't it?
Even so i don't think this report was about crucifying Michael. Instead
it was about being seen to play the game. It tried to be postitive, whilst
also obeying the rules of the game.
BTW did you get the name of the person that spoke from Q Magazine?
You're right. In the public eye Michael seems happiest when he's doing
something. When he has to stand around and just be a spectacle for
the media, then he seems misplaced. That said on his approach to the
Oxford address, he seemed very calm, very much at pease with himself.

I don't know, Rach. I thought maybe changing his clothes might be nicer. I

Hey girls, this is my shower we're talking about. Remember, this intimate
concert's at my place.
He'd have to come and take a vacation here for a week or two before the
concert because he could hang out at the park with the kids & around town
and would never be recognized. Now if he were Frankie Yankovic or Billy Ray
Cyrus, he'd be mauled in the street.

It seem to me those that faire worst at the hands of the Critic, the hack
Distortor, or the gossip mongers, are the people that provide society with
its most redeeming quaities.
Increasingly these days, its the good fokes out there that attracts the bile
of these hacks, looking for a soft touch on which to practice their toothless
craft.

What I want is a new house. Now there's a crack in the front picture window
and in the basement, the big black pipe from the loo is leaking WATER. I
think it will be cheaper to build one than to call the plumber again. lol.
Funny, I told my kids that their two uncles were coming to visit and they
said, "Oh they can sleep with us!" They're so precious. I sleep with the
kids in a giant bed. I can just imagine more people in it. Wow, that was
off on a tangent.

OK, well me and Rach can help ya out there by fightin over Mike in every room in
your house and completely destroying it, therefore getting your husband to SEE how
BADLY you WILL need a new house.....that's normaly the first major hurdle.getting
your partner to believe you really do NEED that particular thing and I think me and
