I cant work out how to copy and paste the mag pic, but the rolling stones mag has MJ Bad 25 on the cover. Can someone else please post for me. You will be surprised what is on the cover. Thanks with Love.
Thanks for postic pic for me Truth_or_Dare. Yes the "its alive" on the cover is quitefitting really isnt it. Seems the word Alive is springing up whenever there is a picof Michael lately.
It's another coincidence... :icon_lol: :icon_e_wink: :icon_lol:
In 1986, Michael Jackson presented his then manager Frank Dileo and accountant John Branca with a mission statement telling the two men that he desired for his "whole career to be the greatest show on earth". To help guide these members of the Jackson inner circle toward this destination, he handed the pair an autobiography of PT. Barnum, a book the performer had read numerous times. Born in 1810 in Bethel, Connecticut, Barnum was the Godfather of the public spectacle writ large. He was both a scam artist and the originator of The Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus, a traveling spectacle on a scale sufficient to still draw thousands of people to New York's Madison Square Garden each April. Of his own ambition to be remembered as the ultimate show-business impresario, Barnum - a man known as "the prince of humbugs" - is quoted saying, "I am a showman by profession...and all the gilding will make nothing else of me.""This [book] is my bible, and I want it to be yours," Jackson told Dileo & Branca.
@ voiceforthesilent Yes, Michael, I do believe you are controlling the press just fine right now. And we are waiting. Because..... The best is yet to come !!! :icon_bounce: :icon_bounce: :michael-jackson:
Given this, it is hardly surprising that many commentators lacked the wit, or humanity, to separate the art from the artist. One reviewer seethed that Michael Jackson image on the album's frontage featured "a face as plastic as the album it covers", pronouncing, "Wacko Jacko steps back into the limelight even more girlie than before." This kind of poison seeped into public consciousness rendering the artist a polarising presence. In a 1988 Rolling Stone poll, Jackson was voted "Worst Male Singer", while the CD on which he had most recently sung occupied the number one spot as "Worst Album".
