WATCHOUT FOR MY INTERVIEW WITH JAMACIAN LEGEND FROM THE TECHNICS ( DAVE BARKER ) (www.uniqueradio.org) TUESDAY 7th JULY 2009 ( 6 - 8 PM ) (( LONDON G.M.T )) .
Michael Jackson (the physical) was a Loving, caring, humble human being that was a phenomena of nature that ushered in a wave of change that transformed the perceptions of countless millions of people of all nationalities particularly about people of African origin more than anyone. As the greatest entertainer the world has ever known Michael Jackson changed the world of entertainment forever inspiring a whole generation of popular artists and young people with his artistic genius. Michael Jackson has been maliciously and venomously maligned by some envious, calous and jealous people. These people have played a critical role in the untimely passing of Michael Jackson. It is ironic that it took the passing of MJ for Evan Chandler to admit that he lied about Michael molesting him. I never, ever believed that Michael was ever guilty of the charges trumped up against him. I Love Michael Jackson, He was and is and will always be magical. Michael Jackson Lives - His Spirit is Immortal. He gave far too much Love to ever really die. Michael Jackson Lives, Long Live Michael Jackson. Jah Bless Him Eternally. Maximum, Maximum, Maximum Raspect MJ, You are a Peerless Warrior a First Without Second and The Best among Us. Peace, Love, Harmony, Freedom and Serenity Be Upon your Forever.
