Good Read On Jackson

[BillBrown]

Here's an article by a journalist that paints what seems to be a realistic picture of Jackson.
He spent time with him (several months, I believe he said).

It comes across as objective.

Among other things it says that Jackson was a flaming homosexual, but wasn't a pedophile. He says those charges were false.

He also details Jackson's financial, health, and emotional states.- Not good- Very bad, in fact. He was within a whisker of total bankruptcy. He had lost his voice- could hardly talk, much less sing. His upcoming concerts were to be lip synced. He was telling people close to him that he would rather be dead than go through with it.

It's the first thing I've read that makes me sympathize with the guy.

For what it's worth:

I don't know. It seems like simply a lot of speculation. For example, as I said on the other thread, any signs of lung disease (especially bad enough to need a transplant) would have been immediately evident on the gross exam during the autopsy.

It may have turned up on the autopsy.
Do we have the full results?
Have they been published?
I'm not arguing- I really don't know.

I didn't agree with most of what was written, but it was all worth it for this:

‘He has as many as 200 unpublished songs that he is planning to leave behind for his children when he dies. They can’t be touched by the creditors, but they could be worth as much as £60million that will ensure his kids a comfortable existence no matter what happens,’ one of his collaborators revealed.

Rest in peace, MJ.

Thing is, you never know what to believe with these things. Some ppl don't even know that he had Lupus, that makes 2 auto-immune diseases, the other one vitiligo. His immune system was already compromised, moreso from Lupus.

BTW- are those his biological children? They do not look half black, or anything like him. I would have thought he would have wanted at least one biological child.

They are supposed to be his children.
I haven't read anything that disputes that.
