^^These articles--why do they all comment on the fact that Lee does not comment on Michael's "messy life." This is a celebration of the Bad album and the making of BAD, what is so difficult for these reporters to understand? They all say the same thing, including the Rolling Stones article. Even those, like the one above who suggest that it is a relief that the "messy" part is left out are not sincere, because in the next paragraph they bring in controversy, such as the "wa-- jac--" above.
The author claims Michael looked unhappy, but do they ever analyze why he was unhappy? It is almost as though they think Michael made himself unhappy, or they like to claim that because he isolated himself his life went downhill. I guess if they look too deeply into that unhappiness or what they call the "messy life," the source of it will be them and greed, and they do not want to admit their culpability.
The author above writes that Jackson's "carnivorous success ate him up." What a bunch of doo doo. Peter you know what ate Michael up, the persistent lies, persecution, name calling, and jealousy of the media; the allegations which were made possible, due to the perception of Michael that was created by the media, i.e., a strange, bizarre, weird, asexual man-child; the constant and persistent mistreatment by family, quasi friends, business associates, including managers and Motorola due to greed; the constant and persistent betrayal by friends and enemies due to greed, which caused him to not know who is true friends were, and we could add the rabbi in this group. We could go on some more, so when the press talk about the "messy life," we need to inform them about who created the mess in the first place, and ask them why is it so necessary to you to constantly bring up that "mess." What do you, Mr. reporter, get out of it?
Even those who wrote about Bush's book, commented on the fact the controversy is not in it. I have come to the conclusion that all critics and media want in every write up about Michael information about bubbles, the tank, allegations, ect. They are never happy if these things are missing. If they are missing, they alert the reader that the information is not there and then begin to talk about it. What an obsession.
