Apparently you can’t blame it on the boogie so what did cause Michael Jackson’s (MJ) death? Was it the painkillers or polymeric poisoning? I don’t think we’ll ever know and it’s that doubt and uncertainty that will secure his name in music’s hall of fame.
Yes he was very good at what he did and I saw him during his Bad tour at Wembley but honestly, if he was an average Joe on the street and you discovered his best friend was a primate, he kept manikins in his house and then he dangled one of his children out of a window I’m sure even Haringey council would’ve jumped all over the situation and sectioned him. So the media circus begins…
There wasn’t a will and now one’s turned up. Who cares! Mind you I don’t think his dad was too chuffed find out he didn’t get a mention. But I thought it was a great bench mark of what’s to come when Jackson senior chose an interview about his son’s death to advertise his new record company – nice to share a moment like that with the family and the media but mostly the media me thinks. I want to know who’s going to get rights to advertise on the coffin? It won’t be Shell that’s for sure!
His promoter must’ve nearly had a coronary when he heard the news. Not for the sake of the family’s loss, I mean shit what are you going to do with 5o million quids worth of ticket sales? Well for a start you sit on the money for a week before making an announcement that everyone will get their money back. The interest on that amount of wonga would be obscene. The cash made from the interest goes towards your next great wheeze. “What can we do?” “Ooh I know let’s say the fans can have ‘the choice’ to either keep the tickets as a memento or they can cash them in. Then announce a few days later that they’ll be worth a small fortune on Ebay for collectors.” Aaah confusion, it works every time. Well bollocks mate I want my 70 quid back thanks!
The latest hoot to save Randy Phillips jacksey, (MJ’s promoter) is to release a video from the rehearsals prior to the tour opening. Oh how sincere. “We’ve ‘sweetened’ Michael’s voice for the video,” he said. What he actually means is they’ve remixed it so they can flog it. Add that to his back catalogue being played to death and selling out in the shops and you’ve pretty much got your money back.
So where will it go from here, well sky’s the limit I reckon. The conspiracy theories I guess. Is his dead? It’s very handy if you re in debt by a few mill to snuff it like that. I mean he had the green backs to change his fizz-og. What’s to say he hasn’t done it again and now living in Balham? Was it him at the O2 arena advertising his up and coming tours? It could’ve been a double quite easily, cheeky but possible. I think for all of the answers and more someone will have to set up an interview with Bubbles before he begins to work on what he’s going to say at the memorial!
So what do you think, I’d be really interested to know…
