So, Michael
Jackson’s dad Joe died this morning from cancer. It’d been reported at the beginning of the
week he was terminal and wanted to die at home.
Apparently, after only about 24 hours in hospice, he gave it up.
It’s interesting
to me that reports of his kids, specifically Janet, broke down at a concert
when talking about her dad’s situation to fans.
The reason I find this so interesting is because Jackson was notorious
for being a Hitler when molding the Jackson 5, and, all but gloating about it
afterward, rationalizing they’re famous now and stayed out of jail. It was to the point that most of his kids were
alienated from him, CHOOSING to distance themselves from him. Speaking of Janet, TMZ made no mention of whether
she took time off from touring to be with her dying dad.
Another
thing I noted and I think I’d already heard was that he and his wife DIDN’T
live together for years. Hmmm, strange
considering they don’t have kids they’re actively rearing to stay together at
all. If he was as abusive as documented
and by his own admission, why not cut all ties…name be damned?
Of course,
we don’t and never will know the whole 9, but I was just thinking.
Condolences
go out to his fam and friends.
Be good to
each other.
