Re: Jackson acquited
Indeed it is. Just like I was reading in the article on CNN, just because he was found innocent of THOSE charges doesn't mean he's an innocent man.

Re: Jackson acquited
The bottom line is the prosecution had too many holes in their case. Like it or not, there just wasn't enough to have a guilty verdict.
My question is what's up with the people outside the court house who were celebrating and acting like idiots? Why do people care? Do they know him personally?? |

Re: Jackson acquited
Yeah, and it's people who are hardly from his generation. They act like he was the savior to music. There weren't that many people for OJ when he got acquitted and his charges were MUCH more serious.
I guess molesting kids isn't as serious as killing someone.

Re: Jackson acquited
What I don't understand is why the media is covering the Jackson trial when we've got troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, threats from terrorism, the Bolton hearings, etc.

Re: Jackson acquited
While I totally agree with you in spirit, you can't be at all surprised at the media frenzy. C'mon! Warped child-hood star turned superstar with the biggest selling album EVER (53 mil and counting?) creates bizarre Peter Pan world with young boys, "jesus juice", a chimp named Bubbles, a hyperbaric chamber, the elephant man's bones, Latoya, etc.,etc., is charged by the same prosecutor who failed to get him in 1993, with a money gubbing lunatic Mother, a suspicious but clearly exploited boy, Super laywers, legions of lunatic fans outside--and you want them NOT to cover this??? Media is a business, and this sort of crazyness sells soap!
The war is reality, this is pure fantasy. And it's not like the Bush team really wants us to be focusing on Iraq... (This last bit was political--take it or leave it. BUt the rest is just sociology and economics.)

Re: Jackson acquited
JWsleep - I love how you put Elephant Man's bones right next to LaToya. The larger attracton at a freak show would be hard to call.

What about Joe himself. You can see where they got all those genes.

Re: Jackson acquited
Yeah, right. The weird apple falls not far from the tree. And they all seem to have the same plastic surgery now.
But I will stand by this claim: put on Thriller at a party, and the people will dance. THey may be a bit embarrased at first, but they will dance.

Re: Jackson acquited
Thriller is definitely one of the greatest songs of ANY generation. I also love "Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough"

Re: Jackson acquited
Wolfeskins and JWSleep,
Those were some damn funny posts. Just the words "Jesus juice" and the name "bubbles" make me hysterical - thanks for reminding me. |

Re: Jackson acquited
Part of me wanted him to be found guilty but only if he were to recieve psychiatric care cuz either by his own hand or anothers, he wouldn't last more than a couple days in gp.
It's still very sad and disturbing that a person myself and many many others loved for his music, has lost such a huge grasp on his idea of reality and plummeted so far from the perch he was once put on by some people. we've started to see it already with some people, but do u guys think more people will remember and still enjoy the majority of his music, or will this and the previous charge forever make the majority of people forget his past acheivements and refuse to listen or acknowledge any of his work? |
