Joe Jackson Isn’t Angry But Is Mad
August 31st, 2009 by Wendie
There’s something that really bothers me about Joe Jackson. Every time he opens his mouth to say mumble something, I think he’s lying. It troubles me that he never offers any insight as to who his son was as a person. Joe obviously thinks Michael was the best performer in the world, but he doesn’t speak of him as a son, father, friend.
The Today Show aired a JJ interview this morning that was recorded over the weekend, on the day that would have been Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday. If you don’t have speakers on your computer or you’re at work and can’t really take a listen, let me offer you a brief, paraphrased summary:
Interviewer: Joe, how are you holding up?
JJ: Me? Oh, I’m fine! Uh, oh, I mean, I’m still grieving the loss of Michael.
Interviewer: Are you angry about Michael’s death?
JJ: No. I’m not angry. I’m mad but I’m not angry.
Interviewer: What do you want people to know about your son?
JJ: He was the best performer in the world.
Interviewer: Did you know that Michael was using these drugs?
JJ: No. I knew nothing about anything. This is foul play!
Interviewer: Do you want justice done? Do you want to see people go to jail for the death of your son?
JJ: Yes, I want justice. I don’t know if I want anyone going to jail. But they will pay.
Interviewer: Do you want these doctors to be held responsible for administering these medications to Michael?
JJ: No. I never said anything about any doctors.
Interviewer: Do you see your grandchildren? And if so, how often?
JJ: I do see them. Uhhhhh … I see them. Often enough. Let’s end this interview now.

I saw this interview. He’s disgusting.
He is a nightmare.
Good thing I don’t watch the Today show, otherwise I probably would have spit on my own television screen.
Grandchildren? I have grandchildren? Are they performers?????
In one of his inteviews, he did say that he heard that the girl could sing and that the little one could dance.
If anyone ever gets around to doing a male version of Mommy Dearest (Father Dearest, if you will), Joe Jackson could be the model that the title character is based on.
Totally. ~ He is going to hell.

HA! That is awesome.
It really is.
HAHAA – LOVES it!
I love the Dave Mathews band too!!
Whaaaa?
O.K. For one That is obliviously a computer generated response because no one likes The Dave Mathews Band.
And two ,this is just another one of your transparent attempts to frame me .This has got to end.
Good Day Sir!
actually I don’t love the DMBand- I just got so distracted.
I watched the movie about the Jackson five the other night, and never once in it did it show Joe as a loving father or Husband. He was an ass, and still is.
Stubborn men hungry for money and fame rarely change.
I probably don’t have basis for this comment- I’ve only seen him speak briefly a couple of times. But Joe Jackson doesn’t strike me as being the brightest bulb in the box.
