I guess I only wonder how he never managed to put Stallone in any of his music videos. I mean in "Liberian Girl" he had like every icon of the 80s (even Carl Weathers who was pretty much of "Rocky" fame and Brigitte Nielsen who was Sly's wife), but not Stallone, although even MJ's image of the time also included belt that was probably inspired by Rocky.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

'It is something I cannot help. When people make up stories that I don’t want to be who I am, it hurts me. It’s a problem for me. I can’t control it. But what about all the millions of people who sit in the sun to become darker, to become other than what they are. Nobody says nothing about that."
I want to learn more about Michael Jackson. Anyone have good info about this talented legend?
Billy Jean was apparently not his son.

Or his Lover to be accurate
All these years I thought it was son. I guess I was too busy grabbing my crotch and moonwalking to pay close attention to the lyrics.

I don't really know much about him beyond his music and the controversy that surrounded him.

At least Bubbles is still alive and well.
