This guy just gets stranger and stranger.
...dude's flittering around in a burqa. What a freakazoid.
They can have him. I sure dont want to see him come back.
Why do I get the weird feeling that at some point in the future, Whacky Jackson is gonna get caught molesting some kid in a middle-eastern country and end up beneath an executioner's sword?
He hasn't built a fantasy park for children there yet...but just wait.
this guys been sippin too much kool-aid..
Why doesn't he wear women's shoes since that seems to be such a clue?
HA!!!!!! I can just see it!
He's lucky that's all Wacko shook. Is this the same mall story just being reinvented or does MJ frequent the mall because it's a good pick up place?
Buggering little boys is ok in that part of the world, that's why Jacko moved there.
Believed by who[m]?
Naw, it won't be a sword. With no nose and who knows what else is missing, a pin knife will do.
There, you see... he didn't move to a Muslim country to molest little boys. He just wanted to fit in and look perfectly normal... while his nose and face continues to fall off.
Works for me!
Heard the Bahrain royalty who have been giving him an open checkbook have had it with him and turned off the money.
He'll probably end up in Europe somewhere.
He certainly is awesomely strange. And he urgently needs to be legally classified as a "person in need of supervision" and not allowed to handle his own affairs. But I can't really blame him for what he's become. He was abused and exploited from a very early age, and by some accounts fed hormones by his violent father to keep his voice from changing. And by the time he was old enough to cross a street by himself, he was already so famous that he really needed a bodyguard with him at all times. Can you imagine never having crossed a street by yourself in your whole life? Is it really surprising that he feels a compulsive need to cover his children's faces whenever they're out with him in public?
This guy never had even a tiny chance of growing up into a normal adult, and absolutely everyone who ever bought one of his records/CDs or a ticket to one of his concerts has to take a little share of the responsibility for the horrific outcome. It was just so much fun to listen to the joyful child's voice singing "A-B-C" and the emerging adolescent singing "I'll Be There", and later to the long series of really good songs that began to emerge when he was old enough to take charge of his own creative direction, that we just ignored the growing evidence of a major, major problem developing, until it was so overwhelming that no one could ignore it any longer. Then we almost instantly turned on him and attacked. All in all, a very sad story.
I really have a hard time listening to "I'll Be There" without tearing up, knowing where his life has gone since he first recorded it. And I can't manage "Ben" at all.
