if even half the stuff micheal said he did to them is true then im not going to be too sympatheic...its possible the grandson is right and at the same time, joe was a terrible person and a questionable father. at least not all of his kids ended up lunatics. a few of them got away from the spotlight and lived pretty normal lives. my friend from l.a. knew titos kids and used to hang out with them. they were just normal kids and tito was their little league baseball coach. i think marlon ended up being a real estate agent or something like that.
I thought this Joe Jackson. Different time, eight kids. Everyone got whippins. At least he whipped his kids into millionaires. We could use some more whippins up in here, Millennials with their beards and tiny cars and Ubers. In my day, you whipped yourself if you put your shoes in the wrong place. With the shoe laces. You took the shoe laces out and self-flagellated in the name of Chuck Taylor, high priest of Converse. Back then they only had white Converse, and you had to run in the mud to make them black high tops with mud anklets. The bottom of the shoes was made out of bubble gum that they had a factory of chewers do make night and day. Bubble gum came from rattlesnakes that you had to charm with music, which the movie doesn't show, was how the Jacksons made their first million; snake singin rattlesnakes for shoe bubblegum.
