Shoeless Joe is dead?! Noooooooooo!
If it wasn’t for his kids, he wouldn’t have had 2 nickels to rub together.
Hell’s a burnin’ Joe.
Do I have to install the app to find out who died?
Beat the crap out of his sons to get them to perform correctly. Good riddance.
I’m sure his family is sad. RIP Joe.
The one song I think about when I hear Joe Jackson. It came out in 1982.
Steppin Out
MICHAEL DIED June 25, 2009..................
he was a jerk and a child abuser so i hope hell’s A/C is busted.
To borrow from another post of today; Joe Jackson was ‘as mean as a Wolverine’. This is the truth. Was is also true is that he ‘tough-loved’ his children to perform at their best.
Like it or not, the Jackson Family has left an indelible mark on pop music and culture. The Jackson Family also serves as a warning of what can happen when children are not allowed to live the carefree lives most of us had during our own childhoods.
The Jacksons story is not a new one.
Look up how The Beach Boys were formed and tempered into a professional act, mostly the dictatorial ambitions of Murry Gage Wilson, the late father of lead band members Brian, Dennis and Carl. It is a strange paradox, that sometimes to achieve greatness, one has to be pushed in a manner that does not come naturally. That makes one ask if a sustained level of greatness is not, normally a natural state for anybody.
I believe he was a child abuser. HE messed up Michael’s head. My opinion is that while he was able to manage the family to fame, he also was responsible for the mental instability suffered by many of his kids.
His most famous son wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM after he was able to break free.
RIP...prayers to the family...
Isn’t it rumored he abused Michael?
RIP
