My daily thoughts
Meglen: I agree that an artist should go to some of the rehearsals, yes
I do agree with him in some degree as I cannot see shows working if they are not rehearsed. It wasn't like MJ was only going to sing, there was other stuff going on too.
----------
Panish: Do you agree with Randy Phillips that MJ was a bigger artist than Celine Dion, yes or no?
Meglen: I do, myself, personally believe that that is not true
What, get out of here!!!
I could just about understand him saying that he think Led Z is bigger because he is a rocker, but Celine (no offence Celine
)
We obviously don't agree with what the term biggest artist means
----------------------
"I don't know if I agree there were 525,000 people in the queue," Meglan opined.
"Everybody exaggerates, and when something is hot everyone wants to take it to the moon," Meglen said.
If defense wants to show that everybody in the business exaggerates, they should have used one of their own act, like current tour for Rolling Stones, and tell how many tickets they actually sold to compare reported number. Now they gave the numbers for Live Nation act U2, but that is not believable as it could be taken as business envy or what you call it
--------------------------------
"We don't hire doctors, if the artist wants his doctor there, the way we check that out we go to the artist," Meglen said.
"If I'm asking the artist if that's his doctor, that's throughly checking him out," Meglen explained.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
---------------------------------------
The executive said when MJ said "This is It" people thought that was it. But if he went to other cities, this was not it after all.
"These will be my final shows performing in
London. "This Is It" really means this is it.
He did indeed leave it open whether he would be performing other places but not in London.
------------------------
Dr. Farshchian said MJ was having an issue with his ankle, he was supposed to performed at Madison Square Garden, had to rehearse. And he had an ankle issue that was more like a sprained ankle that was not healing and he had to continue to dance on it.
Putnam asked if MJ wanted to get off drugs, if that happened at the hotel in a second meeting with the doctor. He said yes.
"He was trying to get off Demerol," Dr. Farshchian said. MJ told him he had a problem with the drug.
I wonder if his ankle was the reason for incident that KF had the feed him bagel to wake him up? F Cascio did write anything about MJ's ankle in his book, I wonder?
---------------------
At that time, Dr. Farshchian said he wasn't following MJ on the media. At that point, to me he was just a regular patient.
Dr Farshchian: When I got to know him I visited him at the hotel, read a little about him on the internet, then realized was ongoing problem
No wonder so many people believes so much crap of MJ if they go to internet and read it there that he has problem with drugs, wth? I wonder if he read it from NY Post?
------------------------------
Dr. Farshchian said it was a 10 hour production to go from Neverland to Miami. MJ said he was going to see a psychologist.
"MJ was very private with everything," Dr. Farshchian said. At the time, he was complaining of insomnia. He was seeing a herbologist for it.
Great to read that MJ sought help for his issues. He did try many things to get rid of his imsomnia, herbalist, Lee suggested something, and if I remember there was some procedures found from Carowood about cleep clinic. Poor MJ:-(
-----------------
Dr. Farshchian said MJ always had trouble sleeping. "To me his insomnia was caused, possibly, you have this area inside the nose called turbinates, if you reduced it's called empty nose syndrome, to me that was the cause of that.
Putnam: Parts of his nose were missing?
Dr. Farshchian: Portions of his nose were take out
Two days later, MJ reported good nights.
What? How he is going to explain MJ suffering insomnia since childhood, did he not have nose then?
Was this doc F the one Cry babe Sullivan interviewed for his foor for fire book? Is he the one who came up with MJ not having a nose?
---------------------
Dr. Farshchian said he converted his garage into a bedroom for MJ. He never treated MJ at the house.
Reminded me of Chandler loony who wanted MJ to convert his garage.
------------------------------------------------
11/04/02 record -- MJ's weight was 128
1/20/03 -- patient returns for another implant, been sober for more than 2 months, states been following the 12 step program
Weight: 135 lbs
As his weight was talked during the trial, it seems that MJ had been rather light weight before, but got his weight up in matter of few months.
-------------------
Last time Dr. Farshchian spoke with Mrs. Jackson was at the funeral. Before he spoke with her at a 2002 Christmas at Neverland. He said he also had a phone call with Mrs. Jackson where she wanted to know about the implants.
Michael called Mrs. Jackson and Dr. Farshchian said he was treating MJ for addiction to Demerol.
Did you understand Mrs. Jackson was concerned about his health?
Dr. Farshchian: Yes, I don't recall the conversation, but once she understood the procedure he said she was happy
Dr. Farshchian: Once at Neverland Michael showed his mother the implant. She was very happy about it.
Tsk tsk Katherine.
FC can testify what Dr F said is true, as he wrote in his book that Dr F was there with his family at christmas.
