Does anyone still care about Michael Jackson?
March 5, 2009 | Vetting explained
So, the rumors are true. Michael Jackson is making an official "comeback", according to today's news.
I'm curious... who is actually going to shell out the bucks to see The Gloved One play live in London this summer?
I won't lie; there was a time back in the 80s when I was crazy about Michael Jackson and his music. I had his posters on my wall. It's a fact: he used to be great -- he left an indelible mark on the music world. There's a reason he was named the "King of Pop."
So never mind his bizarre behavior over the years, his "buying" of children from a sham wife and an unknown surrogate, or the fact that his skin has turned white and his face is falling off from hundreds of plastic surgeries.
Never mind all of the bigwigs he's begged, borrowed, mooched and possibly even stolen from. Could he possibly be sued one more time?
He's certainly not the only one amongst us to deal with the tragedy of foreclosure in these tough times.
And yes, I know... those pesky child-molestation charges were dropped and/or he was acquitted. Both times.
But given all that, is anyone really interested to drop their dime to see Jacko "perform" live again (it will surely be pre-recorded)... even if just to gawk at one of our nation's biggest walking sideshows... a living legend and pathetic disgrace rolled into one?
Somewhere out there, he still has fans. Sure, they'll come out to gawk. Hopefully a few cents of the cash earned will go towards the health and well-being of his young children.
It's your money folks... but as for me... I think I'll rent a movie, pop some popcorn and stay at home. My interest morphed into nausea a long time ago.
