Katherine, In the name of Michael Jackson, this has got to stop.

"Michael Jackson fans outraged by Kiss tribute concert booking

American glam-rockers to play Jackson tribute concert despite frontman Gene Simmons calling the late singer a pedophile" -Headline from the Gaurdian.

In a way I wish I'd seen Gene's summation of Michael Jackson when it was originally put forth, just three days after Michael's death, but then again I don't think I could've handle it. Gene's statement reeks of insensitive irrelevancies... which is likely why it wasn't circulated widely enough for me to have noticed it then. That's what I'd like to think, which just like Gene is able to think whatever truths and realities he feels like parading as some sort of authoritative, in-the-know statement on Michael's personal life, that's how I shall choose to use my imagination. Gene now appears more foolish than ever to me. Then again I never liked Kiss to begin with, but before it was just for lack of musical credibility. Now... a bigger joke.

 

If Gene Simmons is entitled to say anything he'd like, on mass scale, on such a very large topic -Well, I too can say, without as much attention as he (although it's not a matter of credibility or deserving of the attention that determines who is and is not seen and/or heard, as is clearly the case with Mr. Simmons) that

Gene Simmons and Oprah should do lunch and be two gloating bigots and hypocrites together. Gene could talk about how much he loved Oprah when she was FAT and RACY and Oprah could talk about how much she loved Gene while he was a CLOWN and RELEVANT. For an appetizer they could both talk about how much they sucked BLACK Michael's dick and argue over who had ate most. Then, for their main course, compare how dried up and stank his pussy was when he turned WHITE and which of them laughed the hardest when he was accused in '93. -Do not nibble, do not sample my words, however they repulse you, however much your stomach turns at the thought. I am not the one that is truly sick. No. You two disgust me.

 

In regards to this latest attempt to put on a "tribute," if Jermaine is involved in it, like so many before, I sincerely hope that it is canceled. I've tried to ignore the shenanigans and the piss poor efforts of those who know how to do better do half-ass everything, in the name of someone they too easily and too quickly claim to know so well.

 

No tribute is less of an insult than these so-called tributes. Feels like the same old fishing for money, with Michael as bait, only now he's not around to be guilted in and out of family matters that really aren't family anything, just more greed and misguided intentions. he did enough for his parents and siblings and on and on and on. I don't mean to sound angry or bitter, I just can't stand it anymore. He's not even here and they didn't learn anything from the loss. Learn SOMETHING, else his death was in vain. ouch, his life sometimes was too. Poor Michael. I don't like playing into the 'victim' role but it's too easy to see how many times he was taken advantage of. it's just beyond disturbing and exhausting.

 

It's really a shame that she has the burden of being an executor of His estate. She's simply too old and outnumbered. Her involvement and ability to put forth things in Michael's name should have been stipulated to some sort of co-agreement. I don't know the appropriate titles as I'm not a lawyer. however if someone had advised Michael well enough (assuming it isn't some sort of draft or fraudulent will- I still am suspicious of the age of the document and the difficulty of "locating" his will initially.) you would think that they would've asked Michael to appoint someone as Katherine's co-conspirator, so to speak, someone young enough and more capable of balancing the difference between blind faith and/or asking too much of one person, whom has already been tapped for raising other Jackson brother's children. It's really unfair, the position she's in. Still, it is no excuse to continue with such matters. She should simply decline these suggestions brought forth to her. Straight up no to every offer and should it seem appropriate later on, address those offers privately and carefully, without the input of relatives. The bias has never been to Michael's favor.

There is a reason Michael and Janet were incredibly reclusive. There is no other option with this family. It's heartbreaking. To think of Janet flying to the family compound (the estate Michael purchased and gave to his Mother so that she would never be homeless, in spite of any of Joe's notoriously poor decisions) to grieve with the family over their loss and her having to leave after (was it only) a week? That's not her insensitivity or callous, that's the necessity for survival. She likely stayed longer than she could handle for the sake of Michael's children. Janet very obviously feared very much for their benefit that they might be better off living with her or anyone else besides under the guidance of the same people that failed Michael too many times, in every way that mattered. Janet gets a lot of flack but she knows better than any of the clan like to admit to. She also never used Michael for money. They shared the same shame, they had a painful connection: their painful childhood. In all honesty I feel she and Michael had the closest thing to normal and healthy between family members than any other "public"-Jackson we ever knew. 

I wish someone could tell Katherine JUST STOP this. Just stop. Just focus on his kids and stop. stop.

stop.
