Sam,
Would you let your 9 yr old son spend the weekend with Mike at Neverland ranch ??
I always felt sorry for MJ. So many “talents” of that era were totally effed up by too easy fame & fortune & lack of values in their families. He was bright & talented & attractive but royally screwed up.
I wasn’t directing the A & R comment directly at you.
“Alrighty. Given the discussion above, we’d like to ask readers in the future if it comes up in a non-slur way to not actually spell out the N-word. Thanks to everyone for their input on the matter.

DIBS – are you eating a toffee or something?
JOE:
What are you talking about? MJ composed his music too!
also I am not in A&R.
Lil Wayne sold 3million units in the US on his last album
I agree commercial sales do not go hand in hand with talent
It’s funny because I think MJ wanted at first to look like Diana Ross, then he wanted to look like Brook Shields, and he ended up looking a little like Yoko Ono on a bad hair day.
His speaking voice was pure Jackie O.
He was indeed a strange guy.
When were you put on time-out Rob?
I never saw the Beatles perform but I did see george and Ringo at the Concert For Bngladesh. I never saw any of the Jachsons but I thought a few of them were cute, Michael in his earlier years and can’t remember which other one.
