| Jackson is like Gandhi, claims brother! Asian News International WASHINGTON, November 27 |
Jermaine Jackson has lent support to tainted brother Michael Jackson and said that he has been victimized. "This is a modern-day lynching. My brother has become a threat like Christ became a threat, like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi became a threat. My brother's consciousness has become a threat because he is a person who cares about people," Jermaine was quoted as saying in an interview to 'The Mirror'. His is one of the voices that used to croon with Michael's in the heyday of The Jackson 5, when the brothers - Michael, the youngest and Jermaine, the fourth child of seven - harmonised together. Jermaine is voicing concerns about his brother's integrity and believes that he is innocent. "My brother is innocent. We are behind him 1,000 per cent," Jermaine said, addressing charges that Jackson sexually abused 12-year-old *******. Apparently, he has spoken to his brother every day since Michael, who has been bailed for 1million dollars, was arrested for oral sex, mutual masturbation and inappropriate sexual touching. Now his father Joe, his sisters Janet and La Toya and his brothers Tito, Jackie and Marlon, are joining forces. "This is a family who grew up in a house no bigger than a two-car garage. The love is there," he said. Jermaine denies his brother's fragility might lead him to suicide as his fans fear and feels that he will be able to come out of it unscathed. British radio channels ban Jacko Following the levelling of child molestation charges against him, pop superstar Michael Jackson's new single "One More Chance" has been banned by as many as 19 British radio stations. According to rate the music.com, BBC's leading radio channel BBC Radio One has stopped playing Jackson's new track. However, BBC TV chart show "Top Of The Pops" will still broadcast Jackson's video when it airs on November 28, said the website. Currently, Jackson is out on bail after being arrested and charged with molesting 12-year-old ******* last week. There appeared more than one reason for banning the pop stars video. A "Radio One" spokesperson on Wednesday maintained that the move was based on music. "Jackson's not as relevant to our young audience as he once was. It is not about his personal life," she said. But other UK stations were quite straightforward in mentioning that they had banned his music because of the scandal. Media company EMAP spokesperson said:"We have had some complaints, so we have decided to take him off air." EMAP owns 18 regional stations nationwide. |

The Gandhi Nobody Knows
by Richard Grenier
(excerpt from Grenier's 1983 review of the film "Ghandi")
"I cannot honestly say I had any reasonable expectation that the film would show scenes of Gandhi's pretty teenage girl followers fighting "hysterically" (the word was used) for the honor of sleeping naked with the Mahatma and cuddling the nude septuagenarian in their arms. (Gandhi was "testing" his vow of chastity in order to gain moral strength for his mighty struggle with Jinnah.) When told there was a man named Freud who said that, despite his declared intention, Gandhi might actually be *enjoying* the caresses of the naked girls, Gandhi continued, unperturbed. Nor, frankly, did I expect to see Gandhi giving daily enemas to all the young girls in his ashrams (his daily greeting was, "Have you had a good bowel movement this morning, sisters?"), nor see the girls giving him *his* daily enema. Although Gandhi seems to have written less about home rule for India than he did about enemas, and excrement, and latrine cleaning ("The bathroom is a temple. It should be so clean and inviting that anyone would enjoy eating there"), I confess such scenes might pose problems for a Western director."
Wrong color.
