Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Damn it. Crying again seeing sweet baby MJ fronting the Jackson 5. Maybe I need to turn off the TV.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am indifferent on the MJ news. He's just been so far gone for so long, you know? And I know he had a mega-shitty upbringing, and he was irrevocably scarred by a lot of things, but that does not excuse any shenanigans with underagers on his part.
Juliana speaks for me. I feel sad for what he went through AND sad for what he put others through and they kind of cancel each other out.

I know I am a rarity in this, but I never believed he molested children. I always felt the bulk of the Michael Horror was directed at his oddness rather than the actual allegations -- and now its peculiar to see mass public declaration of "he was unique and brilliant" when it was "he is a horrifying freak" for so many years.

“Not dead yet!”
I don't know whether he did anything to those kids or not. I suspect he may have. But my greatest ire with respect to that part of his sad life goes to the parents of those kids. Especially the ones who let their kids stay at Neverland after the first allegations came out. I mean, yeah, he was Michael Jackson, but he was also most assuredly not of this world-- as a cynic, I have to think those parents were either looking for some sort of fame by association or simply looking to cash in.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I actually don't think he did anything sexually with kids, but there need not be sex for there to be weirdness and shenanigans.

Our wings are not tired.

Granted I didn't follow all the allegations all that closely, but the reports I did see lacked credibility. Don't know. I hope not.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did you get the new one?
Not yet.

Absolutely. The guy clearly lacked boundaries. Continuing to have slumber parties with children (boys and girls, btw) after the first charges were dropped was deffinately foolish and probably inappropriate.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My favorite Michael Jackson era is between the early J-5 hits and Off the Wall. When he was still with his brothers, but grown into a tall, skinny young man. Check out his moves on Dancing Machine. That's what Original Nose Michael looks like. Check out the smile he flashes after doing the most awesome Robot imaginable. Also, Jermaine's a handsome dude.
