It truly is dies nefastus (unlucky days) for
poor ol'Jackson, isn't it? His biggest problem,
I think, is that this ostensible freigeist
(free spirit) persona he's been self-perpetuating
for decades, is now so inveterate that it's
becoming impossible to emancipate him out of
it. He's become some kind of incongruous
solopsist. He lives in an ammoral dream-world,
and for that reason alone, I think he should
finally be made to face the reality, of what
is, for all intents and purposes, collectively
condoned paedophilia.
People posit that, should someone genuinely
subversive like Oscar Wilde were around today,
his actions (with underage boys) would have
had him locked him away long before Dorien
Gray raised its head.
Jacko won't go to jail, of course, because
rock/pop stars invariably don't nowadays, but
even Jacko's (erstwhile?) makeshift PR guy,
Yuri Gellar, recently said in a TV interview,
that Jackson's bed would be the last place he
would like to find *his* children sleeping in.
Jackson is clearly troubled. I think that the
least any judge can do, is to powder him with
some sort of compulsory counselling. And knowing
America, it'll probably be televised, so there-
fore, we can all eventually get to the root of
shadows which lurk between every line of the
tabloid headlines.
