Jacko

Leaving Neverland is on Ch4 in UK tonight and tomorrow in two parts. Not sure I could watch due to its nature but its getting a lot of publicity here at the moment. Are radio stations in NZ Aus, elsewhere playing his music still or stopped like UK??

it's funny, everyone is so quick to condemn R Kelly, Chris Brown and most of all Gary Glitter, quite probably cos none of their music is a patch on Jackos who has done some of the best fucken pop music in history.
Plus is seen as a bit of a tragic figure cos of his upbringing and weirdness.
Was he an extremely eccentric guy who enjoyed the company of kids or was he a legitimate paedophile?
I honestly don't know.

The Boondocks episode on the Trial of Robert Kelly is funny as fuck

Look, people don't like to find out that figures they have put a lot of stock in may not be as pure as our idealistic view of them. George Pell in Australia is another good example.
People will perform mental gymnastics in order to avoid admitting their hero is a creep. And Michael Jackson is a loooot of people's hero.
Human nature is a funny thing.

He seemed perfectly normal until the album Bad and then it all went downhill.

Will just leave this here. Comments about them still playing Chris Brown and R Kelly are pretty amusing....
They will not play Michael Jackson...then advises that he wasn't featured their playlist anyway.
Stunning and Brave. Guess this means other radio stations that don't go public must in-fact support child molestation..

@Rembrandt what's next? No Roman Polanski films on TVNZ (even though they don't play them)?

This really could be a very good approach marketing wise. Your local synagogue could point out they don't have George Pell giving sermons.

The think with MJ it's not so cut and dried because the guy was so astonishingly weird. He took a chimp as his date to an award ceremony ffs.

Also what's this I hear about him being chemically castrated to keep his singing voice? Didn't his doctor verify that?
If that's true that'll do some serious mental damage.
....then again think of how much distractionless work you could get done

The denial over whacko has only ever been matched by the shocked response "Freddy Mercury's not gay!" when it was announced he had died of AIDS
Yes it's exactly the same.

Yeah was that true? Sounds weird but it's MJ. That's why the question is up in the air. The guy was a farking alien.
