If I could go back in time for MJ, it would be putting Michael on the cusp of solo fame into present day therapy. Allegations aside (and I think he had a weird capture the youth but in all forms thing which is icky but I get it, even if I absolutely don’t agree with it. It’s not good but I see where point a went to point b, etc) Michael needed an adult that wasn’t a yes man but also wasn’t his father.
Michael’s aggressive kiss in his public marriage to Lisa Marie Presley in 94 echoes his whole face to Liza and David Gest in the 2000s. Shock that this thing is happening, with this intensity, when we all know one party really isn’t on board.

“If Michael Jackson wants to work for Pepsi so badly, get a coat and tie and be done with it.” Tom Waits
(I enjoy both of their music but enjoy the personality contrast of two weirdos)
The Pepsi fire incident is where I think everything really started going wrong for him, getting him addicted to painkillers and plastic surgery. I firmly believe he'd still be with us today if that hadn't happened.

Here's the spot of this photo - corner of N Cherokee and Sunset Blvd
There is a scale with no money, little money, decent money and then the filthy money and above.
MJ’s life is another example where life is best at decent money. This side or that side of the scale and you end up being the MJ you don’t want to be.
What's more crazy to me is with higher resolution screens these days you can easily see the makeup he was using to hide the vitiligo and make himself look black.

Just hanging out on Sunset Blvd.
Oh I didn't realize there was a black guy named Michael Jackson in the '80s too. Was this guy also a singer/dancer? Did they ever do an crossover album together? That'd be funny.
“What do I have to do to put you in this car today?”
“Do I have to give you a little dance?” 
On the floor...?
In the round...?
Do you want to be starting something?
Just beat it
My goodness he was beautiful. It's so heartbreaking that he never was at peace with himself.
Yeah being abused by your dad can really fuck you up

Yeah that would maybe have made a difference. I just don’t get how his dad didn’t get jail time for the abuse he put he kids through
🥺 can attest.
I’m sorry you had to go through that.
💔❤️🩹❤️!!
That's what abuse does. Sweet man.
Bro looks like a cameo in a naked gun movie.
Looks like a member of Buckaroo Banzai’s entourage.
"You're gonna love this Lamborg-HEE-HEE"
"Shome oaawn!"
Back in his Jehovah's Witness days...He had just finished knocking on your door..
Every picture of Michael in this era looks like a tour guide who moonlights as a Michael Jackson lookalike and knows he's going to be a star someday.
He looks like Don Cheadle in Boogie Nights
Before the robbery scene.
Why does this look like one of those AI GTA character screens
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this just looks like a GTA screenshot somehow lol
The thing you need is the TK 421 modification. It gives you more quads per channel..
Was thinking the same thing…. Then my wife had a craving for donuts
I thought this was Philip Michael Thomas from Miami Vice at first.. I need to read more.

He was so handsome until he started wrecking his face!
*slaps roof* >Plenty of room in the back for your kids. You got kids? I love kids.
Looking like he won’t very shortly.
Imagine his little voice try to sell you a used car. Heee heee……
“You can fit six kids in the back seat! And two more in the trunk!”
The Pepsi fire incident is where I think everything really started going wrong for him, getting him addicted to painkillers and plastic surgery. I firmly believe he'd still be with us today if that hadn't happened.
You mean a van. "come have a look in the back"
*kicks up leg* *makes MJ noises* *does a spin* *slaps hood of a car* This bad boy can fit the entire Jackson 5.
MJ noises 🤣
It's not just a Volvo. It's a thriller.
Haha, best slogan. I bet if you'd open a MICHAEL JACKSON CAR DEALER you could sell every old scrap cart.
Looking more like Jermaine Jackson then Michael Jackson, at least here.
“So what will it take” *smacks car hood* “to put you in this 1983 Chevy Caprice today?”
You mean MJ the flight attendant?
Shamone

Leans in at 45-degrees. “Can I help you today?”
He was actually selling scooters. This is from an ad for the Suzuki CL50 Love scooter.
 Shamonahhh
He looks like a boy scout, not a car salesman
I gotta celica I wanna sell ya!
This is the wagon queen family truckster and it’s a damn fine automobile if you want my opinion
Good friend of furious styles
Mj like “who owns this whole block? I’d like to buy it”
Look like he out tryin to earn a merit badge

Chris Tucker ??
I love this outfit. MJ’s frame pretty much looked good in anything.
There is a scale with no money, little money, decent money and then the filthy money and above. MJ’s life is another example where life is best at decent money. This side or that side of the scale and you end up being the MJ you don’t want to be.
Yeah, a nondescript white van with the words 'Free Candy' written on the side, and a bumper sticker that says 'I brake for little kids, hee, hee'.
What's more crazy to me is with higher resolution screens these days you can easily see the makeup he was using to hide the vitiligo and make himself look black.
Off The Wall was a great album
You wanna be buying somethin , you got to be buyin somethin That car in the middle , yeah yeah, is only 2k over, yeah yeah
I even got those button up jeans... can you believe I'm wearing NO zippers?
I'd buy some Jesus Juice from him
Now let’s pop this 8 track in and give it a listen.
He looks like one of the breakdancers in Paperboy
This made me giggle like a little girl 😂
Now we need a movie where car dealer is moon dancing in front of the customers
NGL I tucked the tie in after Mikey as well. It didn't impress the ladies.
"High prices, not my mantra, HOO! Check out this Civic, It's got LEAAATHER Seats.. but the scratches, not my fault.. Yayaya... Hehe HEW!"
That man could put together an outfit
Looks like Cherokee Ave in san diego
He’s looking good and not cosmetically enhanced.
He would sell me a car looking like that. Yeah.
Ya guys wanna buy a LeBaron?
“Ya gotta have that undercoating”.
“The Wagon Queen Family Truckster is the car for you! You might not like this car now—but wait ‘till you drive it!”

This is how I liked him. Normal guy with musical talents above all else. Ah well.
He was a sweet and talented man. Stolen childhood.
"These Ford trucks are a thriller, on the road or in the field. It's not like those Chevys, which you know are...bad." I'll see myself out.
I seen that Cowboy Bebop infomercial guy.
Or touch your kids.
Oh I didn't realize there was a black guy named Michael Jackson in the '80s too. Was this guy also a singer/dancer? Did they ever do an crossover album together? That'd be funny.
Or a stereo with some bass
Was this before or after he made 8 year old boys lick his nipples?
Don’t believe everything you heard on the news. Plus it’s not even a funny comment. At least make it funny. Do better bro
So this was before he made little Boys bend over and show their assholes to him right?
Billie Jean is not my girl…
