So, this morning my dad was taking me to school when he turned on the radio to howard stern. I hate the guy, he can be really rude, annoying and disrespectful. But my dad likes him, so I was force to listen to him all the way to school. Geraldo, from fox news who has interviewed Michael Jackson various time and at one point befriended him. Geraldo is releasing a book and he was promoting it.
So any who, Howard stern, robbin, and the entire crew started questioning Geraldo about Michael jackson and started making fun of him. Geraldo said that no, he doesn't think and it is very unlikely that Michael Jackson molested anyone because once you knew him you can just tell he was innocent ands stuff. He later went on to say how Michael would call his house at 2 am and would talk to him and his kids, and that MONTHS before the trial Michael was already freaking out. Howard stern started making fun of the fact that he would call and stuff and Geraldo politely added that no, it wasn't weird because Michael didn't have really that much friends and that once he found someone sort of worth it, he would extend himself to that person. And that he was like a vampire, during the day he had this entire charade with the glasses and stuff, but at night and on the phone he was a regular guy that just wanted someone to talk to. Geraldo also added that yes, he knows that Katherine Jackson is up for the challenge, and that Michael does love his dad alot. Howard stern then had the odassity to say that the death of Michael Jackson was almost like a blessing to these kids because they were living a bizarre life with a bizarre guy. Geraldo said that that is not true. That one time he was with Michael, alone with the kids no nanny, no nothing and that he was very very very attentive. That he was contemplating what cereal to give them etc and that in his honest opinion, Michael was the best dad in the world. Then Howard stern asked if he thought everyhing was a charade in front of Geraldo (i was annoyed with Howard at this point) and Geraldo said, no. That sometimes it seemed as though Michael forgot entirely that Geraldo was there because he was so caught up with the kids. They then asked about the drugs and stuff and Geraldo said he never saw Michael take drugs, but that he did act different sometimes, but he didn't think it was drugs, and that he does think it was murder. He also believes that Klein, Murray, and other doctors need to go down too. Then they switched the convo to something else when they noticed Geraldo wasn't going to bash about Michael.
Anyways, the story was sad from Howards part but I enjoyed hearing how no mater what Geraldo stayed true to what he really believes, be it wrong or right, and that he didn't give in to the media and stuff. Also, like Mj's family and so many close friends, he also believes that Michael was murdered and most importantly, that Michael DID look up to his dad because after he had kids he realized how important having a dad and stuff really was. Geraldo will be attending the burial and i'm glad Mj had SOME good friend loyal friends out there.
