History Joe Jackson
Posted by Charles Mudede on Tue, Jun 30, 2009 at 9:52 AM
All Headline News reports:
MJ's fans are angry over an interview Jackson gave to CNN on the red carpet.Jackson was very short with his answers about Michael, understandably heavy conversation for a red carpet interview. But Joe Jackson did take the time to plug his new record label, Ranch Records, and introduced his co-owner who started talking about the next step being Blu-ray technology. Michael's fans are not happy.
Not only his fans are upset but also the newscasters:
But, really, Joe Jackson has every right to use the occasion of his son's death to promote his business interests. Why? For one, the words of Bunny Wailer: "Let the dead bury the dead. [A] living man got things to do." For two, a person can be dead to another person long before he/she is actually dead. While the fans are rightly shocked by the sudden death of MJ, his is father is rightly not. MJ has been dead to Joe in a very real way for a very long time. Joe's mourning process is a thing of the distant past.
