Wow. Now I see it. Having never been to a Michael Jackson concert. I guess it was more like a frenzied religious revival meeting. Very gospel-y and emotional. No wonder people fainted. Lots of James Brown "covering me up with a robe and helping me up--"Please Please Please" style" stuff at the end.

i posted this earlier, but its worth repeating:
this was at the 88 grammys in front of a crowd of peer, people who had already began to ignore him and the 'weirdness' had begun....and he blew them away ...
i remember watching this because i was hoping MJ would rise to the occasion and i remains the most amazing live performance i have witnessed on tv..

but glencar, even Meryl Streep in Doubt - with all her certainty and sancimony - had her moment of.........'could i be wrong?'
it must be nice to be so certain about things, but ......well, we believe what we believe.

and the father, so distraught that his son had been allegedly abused - took it and dissapeared.....
i would fight to the death to put my child's abuser behind bars.....
Cochran didn't want MJ to have to face an all-white jury and at that point, did not trust the justice system because the tide had already turned on MJ....it was a bad decision.....because it will forever look suspect to many people.
but whatever you believe, you believe ......

An all-white jury would not have been seated and the tide turned because abused kids were coming out of the woodwork. Nobody gives anyone $20 million just to shut up unless they're afraid of what will be said. I understand you love his music but please realize he was a sicko.
