Jessie moved quickly on to the Illinois cemetary scandel. Al is still down at the Apollo Theater trying to work the angle that somehow it was Jacksons home turf.

Both are savy and know that getting into the middle of the Jackson family is walking into a mine field. They just showed up for the dance and know not to stick around for the cleanup after.

Since Jessie and Al showed up I would have thought they would have scraped up any left money.

I would not be so quick to dismiss LaToya's theory. She is very very smart. You may surprised to know that she graduated from Vassar before going on to the University of Chicago where she now heads their diversity program.

Since she is in Chicago she can go over to Burr Oak Cemetary and see if she can find where her career was buried

Michael was a doper and like most Celebrity dopers had the money to buy the doctors and the people who could supply it. Like a lot of Celebrity dopers he ended up dead, like Hendrix, Elvis, and Joplin, and the thousands long list of dead dope abusers he couldn't handle it. To blame the people around him just doesn't put the responsibility where it truly belongs.

Hendrix and Joplin were self medicating recreation dopers and both died choking on their own vomit. Presley and Jackson were something different altogher. They were being medicated by those around them in order to keep them functioning and under control.

There is a big differnece between a dope shooting up and having a paid assiatant who is assigned to bring you a tray of drugs to shoot up with your breakfast as Elvis was.

Hendrix and Joplin did not have a live in doctor with a prescription pad nor were they chartering 3 Am flights to Las Vegas to get a prescription from their dentist.

If you want to put anyone in the same category of Elvis and MJ you should put Howard Hughes. They all had a cadre of people keeping them pumped up or calmed down as was needed to keep the money machine rolling smoothly. For them it was not about being high, it was about being controlled.

Interesting thought. Where are the siblings going to be getting their income from now? Janet appears to be the only one with her own income, so where do Tito and Latoya get the rent checks from now?

1.) I don't really care
2.) Way to keep the name in the headlines
3.) Jackson repelled people, but he didn't make them hate him
4.) That weird, self-medicating with drugs makes way more sense as COD
5.) His sister just bought the family another month or two of coverage
6.) I am weary of the whole thing.

Oh La toya. I'm with all of you in this time of grief by MJ's untimely death. But actually, MJ has been killed already long before June 25th. He was killed by the media and the other people who are gullible. No disposition in theri lives but to listen to the lies fed by the media. There are loop holes on how he was died on June 25th. No matter what happened to Michael i beleive that the 50 series of concert in London somehow contributed stress he was experiencing. I admire Michael Jackson. But i also not in favor of 50 concerts. he's done. He had given the fans with enough. when he said in one of his interviews that he won't be performing anymore, I think it was when he turned 40th. I said to myself that he deserved to enjoy life. He served his purpose already. So, that 50 concerts was not a good idea. though of course i got ticket and not planning to refund it. I hope that he really well informed on how many concerts this AEG booked for him when he signed the contract. As far as i know he knew only ten. then, lately he found out to do another 40. It sucks! so,,, Michael if you really were compelled by the AEG to do the 50 concerts. in my opinion they are liable to your death and so they did not succeed. Even Michael did not make it even once, he already proved to the world that he's one of the greatest. Hall of fame as J5 and solo.rock and roll inductee, living legend etc.... so, Michael you've done your part. you deserve to sing with the angels now.

After two weeks, we are still subject to the crappy details of the Jackson life style, why? Can't the media find better sources of news these days and get away from all this wasted energy? Like Papa Joe, LaToya is looking for instant access, gratification, and public adulation, all over the sordid life of a son and brother. More on!
