LOL, where were you when MJ died "Gaaaaaarrrryyyyaaaahhh, Los Vegas" Pffft!He he, then the fan calls, Mr Jackson, somethings wrong...
@Aussie - that pause was priceless. Certainly Joe would know like the back of his hand where he was when he received the call that his son had died; or at least one would think :smiley-vault-misc-150:
What’s your opinion regarding this statement Joe made: "Michael's paid out a lot of money; it was something like 22 million dollars to keep this thing hushed down". :icon_e_confused: IMO, that’s too much information that could be interpreted the wrong way.
Ya, it was like in Joe's head he was thinking, "Wait, what's my official story on this?" LOL, that pause/slip-up was perfect.

Anka says it was 3 a.m. on a rainy night when the words came to him. Anka, who was a very popular singer, pitched the song to Frank Sinatra, who recorded it on December 30, 1968. Anka's lyrics changed the meaning to be about a man looking back fondly on a life he lived on his own terms, and Sinatra's version became one of his signature songs.This became Frank Sinatra's signature song, but he couldn't stand it, saying he "loathed" the song. In his later years, he described the song as "a Paul Anka pop hit which became a kind of national anthem." In a 2000 interview with the BBC show Hardtalk, Sinatra's daughter Tina said, "He always thought that song was self-serving and self-indulgent. He didn't like it. That song stuck and he couldn't get it off his shoe."
Hughes was involved in a near-fatal aircraft accident on July 7, 1946, while piloting the experimental U.S. Army Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, the XF-11, over Los Angeles…When the XF-11 finally came to a halt after destroying three houses, the fuel tanks exploded, setting fire to the aircraft and a nearby home at 808 North Whittier Drive, owned by Lt Col. Charles E. Meyer.[28] Hughes managed to pull himself out of the flaming wreckage but lay beside the aircraft until he was rescued by Marine Master Sergeant William L. Durkin, who happened to be in the area visiting friends. Hughes sustained significant injuries in the crash, including a crushed collar bone, multiple cracked ribs,[29] crushed chest with collapsed left lung, shifting his heart to the right side of the chest cavity, and numerous third-degree burns. An oft-told story said that Hughes sent a check to the Marine weekly for the remainder of his life as a sign of gratitude. However, Durkin's daughter denied that he took any money for the rescue.[30]Despite his physical injuries, Hughes was proud that his mind was still working. As he lay in his hospital bed, he decided that he did not like the bed's design. He called in plant engineers to design a "tailor-made" bed, equipped with hot and cold running water, built in six sections, and operated by 30 electric motors, with push-button adjustments.[31] The hospital bed was designed by Hughes specifically to alleviate the pain caused by moving with severe burn injuries. Despite the fact that he never had the chance to use the bed that he designed, Hughes's bed served as a prototype for the modern hospital bed in common usage today.[32] Hughes's recovery was considered by his doctors to be almost miraculous. Hughes, however, believed that neither miracle nor modern medicine contributed to his recovery. Instead he vigorously believed that the natural life-giving properties of fresh squeezed orange juice (Hughes would only drink orange juice that had been squeezed before his eyes) were responsible for his rapid recovery.[32]Many attribute his long-term addiction to opiates to his use of codeine[33] as a painkiller during his convalescence. However, Hughes did not suffer from addiction, but untreated IP (Intractable Pain) and pseudoaddiction (A drug-seeking behavior that simulates true addiction in patients whose pain is not being properly treated).[33] The trademark mustache he wore afterward was used to hide a scar on his upper lip resulting from the accident.[34]
Considering that its thought that Howard Hughes faked his death and lived another 25 yrs after, me thinks that's the connection tooYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
