Yeah... I'm sure they're relieved to have their Dad, whom they loved, die suddenly like that. Now they can go out and live that "normal" life everyone's talked about and taunted them with.

Sorry, but no matter how this played out, they'll be in therapy for a while.

I highly doubt they had the same perception of their Dad as a majority of the public did (meaning, viewing him as a freak, etc.) I mean, they're 5, 9 and 10. At that age, most of us weren't aware of our parents faults to the extent that the "outside" world saw them.

I think they're going to be horribly devestated by their Dad's death. I'm not sure "normal" will ever play a major role in their lives.

And that is sad too.

I didn't have any of that stuff because we were poor.
My sister did have thriller on vinyl and we sometimes listened to it as we ate woodchips.

I hope you enjoyed your zipper pants.

Funny you should mention that.

I worked for MJ's production company during the Victory Tour, and once again in Germany, in '97, (I was a stage carpenter/rigger for about 7 years).

The German gig had dudes with video cameras, that up-linked to the giant on-stage rear projection screens. I overheard MJ telling the Production manager, that he wanted shots of the crowd on screen, but ONLY closeups of kids who were crying. The boy had issues...

One of my fondest memories actually has nothing to do with MJ, but it took place at the very first Victory Tour meeting for crew. Rewind back to 1984...

The tour was huge. 14 Semi's of light, sound and stage, plus two bob-tails just for wardrobe. I'm sitting in a bungalow next to stage 3/8, surrounded by fellow roadies "Lurch", "Animal", "Spider", "Slits" (half Korean, half Irish truss monkey) and "Batman" (you don't want to know why he was called that, trust me) and the other 90 some-odd crew members and drivers.

In walked the suit. This is a corporate tour, sponsored by Pepsi and Nike. It's been a long time, but the jist of his little speech, was that the music business was moving towards a more "family oriented" direction, and as such, drug use by the crew would not be tolerated.

We sat in respectful silence.

Until they left.

Lurch, who was the head roadie in charge, had this to say;

"Everybody got that?"

"Yep", we all replied.

"Good, whose got blow?"

Several hands went up...

What-the-fuck ever dude. Being cleared of his crimes and buying out families doesnt make him innocent, just another guilty free man..

Or I suppose you think OJ is innocent too?

Beats me, I wasn't there either.

Editted to add: Damn, no shrug smiley?

Also, I know someone who was falsely accused of molestation. If you're accused of touching a child or whatever then you're guilty, period. There's no good defense for it.

you got to add colons to both sides of the shrug to get it to work.
