Hi there,

I just came across your website and your blog about Michael Jackson.

Michael is a very good friend of mine (at least as a pretend friend) and I just wanted to say a few words to you. I can understand that you did not like the verdict, but what I do not understand is why you should launch into a personal attack on someone just because you do not like his love for the children. It says in your previous blog "Okay, it’s (embarrassingly) true confession time: as a kid just a few years younger than Jacko, I was actually inspired to get into writing and playing music thanks to seeing the Jackson 5 on the tube when I was six or seven years old". What happened to that? What I find really disgusting is the way you used the "molestations" and Michael's current plans to resume his career in your "blog". You have no idea what he went through and also what really happened. Moreover, his personal struggle has nothing to do with his talent and music and should not have come into this at all. But I guess if it wasn't for that, you wouldn't have much to write about.

I believe that Michael has a great future in front of him. It is your future that looks pretty pointless to me.

Martin,
Thanks for your input.
If you are concerned with how his " his personal struggle has nothing to do with his talent and music and should not have come into this at all" then you should have seen how his brother went on and on with Larry King about a “conspiracy” against Jacko and his career, which, in this observer’s humble opinion, Jacko himself seems to have sabotaged quite nicely. I mean, do you actually think that “Invincible” has any listening quality even in the slightest? Pee-yew!

I don't care if Jacko makes another album. I just wanted a more objective and accurate verdict.

I responded with the same weapon that Jacko’s family and supporters are using: words. So if you were miffed by the fact that I posted my opinion of the verdict, well, there are two sides to every opinion.

Oh and thanks for your opinion, but my future is none of your business.
Michael Psycho

Michael,
I was judging you just by what you wrote, same as you did with Michael. I mentioned you (sic) future only after reading " Maybe with a little luck, he’ll be caught with his drawers down and hand in the pants of a pre-teen in a nice country located, um, somewhere in Asia or South America. Then we’ll see if his high retainer legal goons, level of fame and checkbook can REALLY do the job. Nothing short of an extended involuntary stay inside of a Thai prison would be sweeter karmic justice for Jacko.". I thought that was a pretty crap thing to say to someone in Michael's condition and none of your business either.

That's all...

Martin

Martin,
So because Michael's your, um, friend his family and supporters have a monopoly on crap things to say, eh? Interesting theory.

Thanks again.

Michael,
No, they do not have a monopoly on crap things to say, obviously. I didn’t even say they were right to be abusive in their opinion of the accuser’s family. All I wanted to say was that it was not fair to use his fondness for children in your blog.
Thanks again.
Martin


Martin,
I know you didn't say it, so I will ask you.
Do you think they ARE right to be abusive in interviews?
Michael Psycho


(At this point “Martin” doesn't respond. At this point I receive an email from, who else but:)

Nah Jacko. You definitely would not have enjoyed it. But in retrospect, perhaps it's much more effective to ignore you than insult you.

michael-yeah, okay, mr. psycho. that's why he said that you went to the trouble to write about how perverted i am on your web-site, but you were busy "ignoring"me all that time. feel free to look the word up(i-g-n-o-r-e). i doubt you're capable of the wit it would require to properly insult me, since true wit requires comprehension skills, which I obviously lack. i actually wanted to read what you had to say about me, but since you were "ignoring" me, i guess i'll just go back to being a performer, and you can go back to whatever it is you do while waiting (forever) to get a shot with those"majors".
hahahahaha!
eeeee-heee!

My God, you even email like a fuckin’ robot.

Mr. Mesereau… if you please, look up the legal boundaries in regards to satire of public figures. Go ahead and waste your time filing all of the documents in the universe’s realm. I think that, at least in America, the decision of Hustler Magazine v. Falwell (1988) set the standard in this particular subject.

And what’s more, yes, of course these are fake emails! DUH! FYI, I actually modified some “troll mail” I received from these two idiots (at least I THINK that there were 2 authors) about 5 years ago.


If anything’s truly outrageous about this, it’s the fact that I didn’t really need to change the basic body of any of these trolls’ messages… just had to pretty much substitute a name here or there.

And, yes, of course I’ll admit that your email is COMPLETELY made up. So lighten up. A little parody can be a great character builder (and it seems that most of the folks on the defense side of this case could use some more of that.) So, just bask in the glory of the fact that you got an accused child molestor off the hook based mostly on his fame and building a climate of hate for the victim’s family, and to slightly modify one of your client’s more famous songs, leave me the FUCK alone.


Namaste,
Michael Psycho

The verdict changes nothing.

Jacko is a perverted pedophile who got a double break, first by buying off one kid and then lucking out with a jury on another. We have learned the hard way over the years that in order for the system to “work”, sometimes you have to acquit people who aren’t necessarily innocent. But this wasn’t a case where an accused child molester was found not guilty. This was an extraordinary moment where the mother of the accused's victim lost a popularity contest, awarding her son’s alleged molester a “get out of jail free” card.

Okay, let’s pretend that Mom truly is a lying sack of shit who tries to swindle celebrities. Presuming that a grifter’s child can not tell the truth about getting molested shows about as much intelligence as proclaiming that a prostitute could not be raped. In an interview after the verdict at least one or two jurors whined something to the effect about how there was no “smoking gun” to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Jacko was guilty of ANY of the charges. If these rocket scientists had been sitting as jurors on certain other cases, there would be a Hell of a lot of now-convicted Catholic priests out walking the streets today.

Yeah, it can be argued convincingly that the prosecutors fucked up this case from the get go. But this is still the beginning of the end for Michael Jackson. He certainly has nothing to celebrate here. It’s not like the court of public opinion will suddenly take him in with open arms. This motherfucker had better prepare to be walking on eggshells for the rest of his life. Because the next time he gets in hot water (and with a typical serial pedophile like Jacko this will happen, guaranteed) the channels of law enforcement will be working extra carefully to ensure that you don’t get to saunter off in the clear. Maybe with a little luck, he’ll be caught with his drawers down and hand in the pants of a pre-teen in a nice country located, um, somewhere in Asia or South America. Then we’ll see if his high retainer legal goons, level of fame and checkbook can REALLY do the job. Nothing short of an extended involuntary stay inside of a Thai prison would be sweeter karmic justice for Jacko.

(Just for nostalgia's sake, here's a blog I wrote in 2003, just after the "Living With Michael Jackson" special was aired, and just before the legal shit hit the fan for Jacko. Click here to read it)

KRUD 2.0 DECONTSTRUCTED

(Transcript of opening dialogue from a CD found in the gutter of a Midtown street corner. Original recording in italics; my commentary in normal type.)



This is Jim Robinson, KWOD program director.

Hello, Jim, this is Michael Psycho, your worst demographic nightmare.

On this CD you’ll hear a vast variety of what you’ll hear on ” KWOD version 2.0”. When we got together to brainstorm KWOD 2.0, we decided to toss out some of the tired “radio stuff”.

You mean, “tired radio stuff” like when radio stations get desperate for ratings and claim to be “throwing away the book” on typical commercial formats?

Starved for attention DJs that don’t have a clue, too many commercials, lame contests, and playing the same 10 songs over and over with mind numbing repetition.

Which is what will KWOD will quickly revert back to after this “noble experiment” fails.

We think Sacramento’s ready for an honest radio station that respects the music, cares what the listeners think, has a little fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. So we’re gonna hire a staff of knowledgeable jocks who know their music, and give them some freedom on the air.

Hey, uh, don’t we already have that here in Sac? Oh, yeah, it IS about 20 miles away in Davis and in many parts of the city it gets jammed out by other commercial signals that shouldn’t BE in the 90.3 frequency space, but, the fact is, all that philosophy is already, like, THERE, man.

If there’s such a thing as a playlist, it’ll be constantly changing and expanding, a living breathing entity if you will.

Okay, Jim, now you’re starting to creep me out. I want my musical choices to keep me interested, maybe match my emotions on occasion, at least entertain me somewhat. But this “living breathing” playlist shit is downright freaky, brah.

We’re also going to have a dramatic reduction of commercials, and generally, a lot less crap. Oh, we’re not saying no crap, just a lot less crap.

Oh, I get it. That’s like when the Bush administration started saying, “Look, we don’t think Saddam has WMDs, but he coulda started makin’ ‘em if we didn’t go in and git him.” It’s going to be the same old tired standard of playing “less commercials per hour”, but just cramming them together in longer segments.

Enjoy the variety sampler, and tell everybody you know about KWOD 2.0 at 106.5 FM, streaming at kwod.net.

Great! Thanks Jim! Okay, show me what’s in store for what RAD stuff my ears will be treated to!

(What follows Mr. Robinson’s intro is a barrage of 6 to 8 second samples from various “alternative” Top 40 corporate acts such as REM, Nirvana, Jet, and even Bob Marley stuck in the middle somewhere, but it’s “Jammin”, which, like the rest of the barrage of clips in the next 2 minutes, is an over played single which does not even closely represent the artists’ more interesting work. The next two dozen or so tracks appear to be brief segments intended as station ID promos for “KWOD 2.0” basically parroting what was said earlier- “KWOD 106.5- Radio Without Rules”, “fewer commercials, less repetition”, “We play what we want to”, ad nauseum. Each introductory promo is followed by anywhere between one and five minutes of short bursts of the same tired aforementioned music by the same overplayed artists)

You gotta admit it’s a nice try. Hey, someone at the KWOD “brainstorming session” suddenly proclaimed: Let’s just COMBINE ALL of our playlists from at LEAST the last 15 years or so, throw up some trendy “oldies” from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, and kick in a couple of Marley tracks (to keep the stoners happy), and we won’t piss off the record companies and promoters, because they’re going to make their airplay fees and royalties anyway! After which, the rest of the “brainstormers”, who couldn’t come up with shit to say anyway, all started yelling, “YES! That’s IT! EUREKA! Let’s start Power Pointing a strategic initiative for the Entercom executives, like, right NOW, man!”

It’s the same old game. Make the ad money and garner the required ratings by fooling the kids. Good luck with your “experiment” KWOD. Really. I’ll be right here not listening.
