Culture: TMZ sez Michael Jackson’s spokesman, his dad, is getting nothing

  • The reason? Joe Jackson beat him as a child. Michael Jackson was the king of the dysfunctional childhood, becoming famous and having to deal with very rough family dynamics at an early age. According to his will, he never forgot it. He left his will to his mom, children and charity, but apparently didn’t leave his father, Joe, a red cent. Perhaps Michael wouldn’t want his dad speaking for him. source

Culture: Joe Jackson: Where was the Michael love when he was alive?

  • I wish the world had recognized him when he were living. Right now he’s bigger than ever. But I wish he was here to see all this, to hear all this.
  • Joe Jackson • Michael Jackson’s dad, on the death of his son and the huge torrent of response the superstar has gotten posthumously, including at the BET awards, where Joe discussed his son’s life. It’s true – ultimately, the child abuse allegations took the swagger out of Michael’s step, and it seems like we forgot about what we had when he was still alive. We blame ourselves. Sorry, Joe. • source
