paragon Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 His kids will be minted. The amount of records that will be sold in the next two weeks will probably wipe all his debts out. Says on Wiki that he has shiz loads of unreleased stuff still to come out.

Eliza.D Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 The legal process of who gets what and who is owed what will take years. As we speak the bottom feeders are making their case for compo etc.The kids will be 'represented' by a legal team who will have their own interests in the front of their minds and not the children.By the time they lawyers have finished those kids won't have a pot to piss in.

*Bob* Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 When you say "won't have a pot to piss in", I assume you mean "set-up for life with somewhere to live, a lifelong income and nothing to worry about by any normal standards"?

Eliza.D Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi BobNo i mean all his assets will have been frozen. He owes millions. His record company will have advanced him huge amounts of money that they will need to be recouped. I do hope you are right and they are financially secure. They are the only innocent party in all this. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6795-michael-jackson/page/5/#findComment-218009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Palaeologus Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 A bit. I have just sat through over an hour of Michael Jackson testiculation on Newsnight and the out-pouring of this pompous old wank is getting me fractious.He wasnt Elvis or the Beatles, they created whole genres of music. They defined for the first time, the Teenager. I happen to be a fan of neither.MJ was very good at pop, but thats it.I take no pleasure in his death, but the toss that is being spewed out as a result deserves all the scorn I can muster.

Michael Palaeologus Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 True. Which makes it all the worse. There seems to be a reading of "successfull" as "meaningful".

Jeremy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Keef tells the truth. Elvis sang a load of covers, and basically recycled existing R&B music. How was he any better than jacko? They were both performers first and foremost. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/6795-michael-jackson/page/5/#findComment-218046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Quote That's very debatable MP, post-war there were lots of socio-economic factors going on, as well as music and film (Rebel Without a Cause), which gave rise to the 'teenager'. Chuck Berry was a big influence on Elvis and The Beatles, but never got the full recognition he deserved, probably due to the colour of his skin - don't forget America was still segregated at that time. I'm not saying MJ was better or worse than Elvis and The Beatles, but as the first black (no jokes please!) global superstar, I think that's a pretty impressive epitath to have...

MrBen Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I DONT UNDERSTAND the Elvis thing. I heard my first Elvis record several years after I had built up my collection of old Blues records by Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy and lesser known greats like Guitar Slim, Lightning Hopkins.So to my ears Elvis was rip off merchant - a white sanitized bubble gum version of The Truth. And someone who got the credit for the sound that all the unsung black artists before him made.There is a long, great tradition of showmanship in black music that brings us to where we are today. Guitar Slim for example was one of the first acts to play a distorted guitar (in 1950) with a ground breaking stage act that included playing his guitar with his teeth and behind his head. Buddy Guy picked a lot of his stuff up from that act (he still does it now if you are lucky enough to see him live). But all this was long before Hendrix, the Stones etc picked up their influence. So with that historical context, Jackson took this tradition of showmanship to the mainstream - where previous black acts had largely been marginalised to some extent. A point some hack was attempting to make on a very tedious Newsnight last night. I'd argue that even the great Godfather of Soul didn't really crossover until his mid 80's Living in America years....For that alone Jackson's legacy is significant.

MrBen Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 And while I'm at it - a weird favourite clip of James Brown, MJ and Prince on stage together. For perhaps the first and only time. It should be great. A meeting of legends. But it's a shambles. MJ starts well with some signature moves and a good vocal. Prince is drunk and carried to the stage on the shoulders of a Hells angel. They don't know what to do. So Prince takes his top off. It's weird, shambolic and yet genius at the same time. Check it out.
