I turned to my friend in the theater and said, "Okay, now that's just so pathetic - MIB works with aliens all the time, but they find Michael Jackson too bizarre to even hire him under any circumstances. Yeesh." I was just talking to my sister Mary about Michael and his "issues" last night. Many moons ago, during the Victory tour, Mary and another of our sisters were "Pepsi Girls" at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, handing out freebie paper cups of Pepsi to people entering the venue. They got free tickets to the show for their hours of mindless work. All that Mary had to say was, "Instead of a warm-up band, there were all these people on stage dressed in mooshy foam costumes that looked like lobsters and other sea creatures. They had a laser battle with each other. Then Michael Jackson and his brothers came out on stage. Michael's clothes and his stage behavior made the lobster men look pretty normal..." He absolutely gave her the creeps. Since Pepsi was sponsoring the gig, my sisters were given the opportunity to go backstage and meet him. They opted out. - -- Melissa R. Jordan Hope is a good thing.

Just on a related note, TMDR's web site is back up and if you go to the "I remember when" notes, there is a story about TMDR visiting MJ back in the 80's. The part about the kids looking down at them from above is kind of creepy. I think I told you guys about "running into" MJ in the mall in Las Vegas a couple of years ago. I was trying to get into the Virgin Records Mega store to buy the new XTC album before my flight back to Denver, but MJ had the whole store to himself for a bit of personal shopping. He finally left and I got a picture of him as he was leaving with his entourage. Not quite as creepy up close as I thought he would be. I'll have to post a picture I snapped of him. FYI, they were still ringing up his 5 bags of purchases when I was checking out, I noticed a book about the making of the Wizard of Oz in his items. I should have talked the cashier into putting my XTC CD on his tab, but I didn't. - -Keith - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine Linstruth" To: Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 9:24 AM Subject: Re: Alloy: Michael Jackson's (further) Descent Into Madness. > > I haven't seen the movie MIBII and have no babysitters :) so thus have no > plans to see it.

Of course since I work in an office all day, I don't feel the heat quite as much. I sure feel it though when I get home to a very, very warm house. Our house collects heat and doesn't really have any way to dissipate it except for opening doors and windows. We need one of those roof fans that draws all the hot air out of the house. This of course costs probably more money than we have to spend on such a thing right now. So, we put on our ceiling fans and our wall air conditioner. Talk about being primitive!
