When MJ was at his peak, Iran was at odds with the US, and reagan the warmonger was president. Yet through that, he found listeners, fans. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted June 27, 2009 Share #52 Posted June 27, 2009 Back to the post death. Anyone hear the LAPD and LA DA's office might have arrested a few "Jackson associates" for giving him illegallly presciation drugs? Some in media believe MJ died from drug overdose. What you think? Not to mention his business associates from Lloyds of London to others just losing at tens of millions in profits for cancelling his London shows.

What about the banks that he was in large amounts of debt with? His children are going to be broke with all his debt. If he went on tour as planned most of that money would have went to paying the bank and he still would have been in debt. He was in a hole and it took a toll on his health as well.

Shortline Bus Posted June 28, 2009 Share #55 Posted June 28, 2009 So dumb question. 1)Who will take control of MJ's kids? 2)What happens to Jackson estimated debt of as high as $100 Million. 3)Will anyone from Micheal Doctor to his staff go to jail for illegally giving out pharamcy drugs? I am already starting to get tired of the news coverage MJ death, but it going to talked about for a long while. I am sure the tabolid/entertainment news shows ie Inside Edition, ET, Access Hollywood are thrilled of this real life soap opera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted June 28, 2009 Share #56 Posted June 28, 2009 Some brief facts on why Micheal Jackson is important in modern music biz? Micheal 1)raised $200 Million for co writing/co producing song 'USA for Africa' to help famine in Ethopia in mid 1980's. 2)Raised millions for United Negro College Fund. 3)According to AP Jackson in his life/carrer since age 21 raised an estimated $500 Million worldwide for charties. Can any one such as Bill Gates say this. Social accomplishments 1)Without Jackson No Black/Hispanic Artists might not still be on MTV. MTV oringal owners(not the current one CBS-TV)assumed their audience then was 'white' and only wanted Rock Artists. MJ was a Jackie Robinson and broke that barrier. 2)The Jackson "5" were the first Afro-American family to get their own TV show. Yes Micheal Jackson later life as an adult was shady and he 'mental issues.' You cant overlook that. Charlie Chaplin became a dad at age 70 with a 20 year old young woman. However you cant deny and must define MJ as a musical genuis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
