Just returned from 2 weeks holidays in Europe, catching Steely Dan in fantastic form in Amsterdam last week,expecting the Audities forum chocker bloc with MJ comments, alas aside from a few cheap shots (totally expected),nothing............that got me thinking that there was possibly an air of embarresment/shame about your main Pop Idol, and things were better left unsaid, except for a few said cheap shots !!
America made the person MJ had become, even sending its children to live under his roof,knowing his ludicrous life philosophies amongst other breathtakingly audacious carry on's !!
Here in Dublin,if Bono were to dangle his children out a four story window, and have young Children over, for sleep overs.....overnight he would have become a Nono !!
Alas America, where the Dollar is king, these kind of things are hushed up with mighty pay off's !!
Just an observation, but when America comes over all moral and religious, and yet puts its children in these situations , in the knowledge that some where a pay off is just around the corner, you have to question its sincerity.
Thankfully, all the Dollars in the world could not keep Spector from his righful place.....lets hope we get to see an end to the 'Idol' as 'King' and get on with respecting real people, for their honesty and respectability.
Speaking of real people, David Mead-Almost and Always and James Grant-Strange Flowers are 2 CD's you must check out!!
Sorry about the rant,the coffee shops in Amsterdam tend to not only serve coffee !!

Jeez...
Lighten up, Francis!
As far as I'm concerned MJ lost any shred of dignity when he knew what time to go to bed.
...you know...when the big hand is on the little hand.

Folks
I am a believer that there is dignity in all human life... AND that I am not in position to judge other people, so I try to keep my opinions to myself except when I am engaged in a heartfelt discussion with people I want to dialogue with.
That said, do you think it might be more appropriate to keep these juvenile Michael Jackson jokes to yourselves, or at least post them on some other place where 1,000+ people (all lovers of great pop music) don't have to be exposed to them?
I am in no way a prude but I find them to be disgusting and tasteless, and not worthy of the content I thought that I would find here when I joined this site years ago.
Mike
