Songs of Innocence and Experience



From today's New York Times:

A lawyer for Michael Jackson said that the pop star might be too sick to travel to London to testify in a suit filed against him by a Bahrainian prince. Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, second son of the king of Bahrain, filed suit against Mr. Jackson seeking repayment for money he gave to Mr. Jackson beginning in 2005, including $2.5 million dollars to cover Mr. Jackson's legal bills during a child-molestation trial in Los Angeles that year; Mr. Jackson contends those payments were gifts.

A lawyer for the sheik plans to play in court a song written by the sheik and recorded by Mr. Jackson as proof of their close collaboration.


You know, that song Dennis Wilson wrote with Charles Manson was actually pretty good...

Well, I see that celebrity pedophilia is a less popular subject for comments than I had thought.

You know that commercial with the baby that said he really underestimated the creepiness?

One can only imagine his reaction to Mr. Jackson ...
