Ever since Michael Jackson died there has been a plethora of articles about the famous black performer and his odd sort of life but then he was a world celeb so perhaps his lifestyle in retrospect was not at all odd for such
a mega personality.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE: Michael Through a Brother's Eyes:
by Jermaine Jackson
and
MY FRIEND MICHAEL: An Ordinary Friendship with an
Extraordinary Man
by: Frank Cascio

so the question is posited ... what was the singer really like? Alexis Petridis on two inside accounts
Michael Jackson went to his grave pop's greatest enigma .. was the most famous man in the world, his own world seemed utterly alien with, the writer explains ...
Theme park mansion,
Plastic surgery
Rumours of paedophilia
Children conceived by artificial insemination
Erratic behaviour
Inhuman degree of talent

and if that's not enough to make your hair stand on end ...The man at the centre of it all .. what was he actually like? After life of 41 of 51 years in the public eye Jackson was as confused as anybody else, so we are not
going to get a clear line on Jackson from the writer or so it seems at this point in this article. Apparently Jackson's
brother's book suggests that he was "Weird" so we have to judge whether or not either of these books will
offer the definitive image of the late Michael Jackson. His Mum was a devout Jehovah's Witness aged 12 Jackson recorded an album of songs for Christmas. and his Mother - swabbed the children with alcohol and smeared their faces with Vaseline as she believed it made them look nice. She put boiled potatoes in their coat pockets during Winter .......... and then what about the rest of his family tree ... Joseph Jackson ws the grimmest figure in the pantheon of tyrannical fathers vicariously living dreams of pop stardom through their children .. which used to be referred to as living life second hand ............ so these insights into the Late Pop Icon are shocking and the
writer continues to insight a feeling of amazement at the antics of Jackson and his family so I guess the
books should sell like hot cakes: Thanks Guardian: Review: Hard Work Pays UP!
