Michael Jackson Interview

[RawAlex]

I guess after sitting through the whole things ( while working, I will admit, but still saw the whole thing) that MJ is one screwed up kid. a 44 year old kid.

You could tell that there was a couple of things that have majorly shaped his view of the world: His father bugging him about the size of his nose (it was a real painful memory, you could see the reaction) and that very distinct memory of the park across from the studio that he couldn't play in because "he had to work".

Basically, when he was 10, he was an adult in a kid's body. He never really got a chance to play, to be a kids for very long - by 12 he was getting checks for $200,000 a month... he was the man of the house already.

I suspect that those two memories, along with never having a childhood has really shaped his views of the world.

I don't think MJ is a child molester, in that I don't think he has the mental ability to put it all together right - anyone who would be too shy to let Tatum O'Neil (as a younger girl) do him certainly would have relationship issues. But I don't think he would intentionally go out to harm a child.

His actions with his own kids, including the baby, show a total lack of understanding of what parenting is about. He is trying to hard NOT to be his father, to do everything NOT to put the kids in the public eye, not to be seen, not to be visible... it would be comical if it wasn't so sad and so bad for the children.

One weird, whacked out dude.
