[78-L] Michael Jackson. A Balanced View.

[Steven C. Barr]

IMO, Michael Jackson NEVER had a "childhood" as such...he was kept
busy by/in the "Jackson 5ive" project, which was making a LOT of $$$
for (I assume) his father as well as the record/music industry!

When he reached his post-teen period, he became (1) a MAJOR star...
and (2) VERY rich! This in turn allowed him to create and "enjoy(?!)"
a "post-dated" childhood to replace the one he had never experienced
in real life...!! The problem was (and IS) that in the XXI Jahrhundert
anyone who displays ANY interest in children (other than the parents
thereof, who all too often display/have NO interest?!) is immediately
assumed to be a pedophile, looking only for S*X with these "victims!"

All he was thinking of doing was to try and experience the play he
had never enjoyed as an actual child...with real children being
substituted for those he had never shared childhood with...?!

My thoughts, anyway...
