nteretseing point about Deke Richards.. I did not know this however that
was a great great song
and I like the breaks in it and the harmonic guitar and structure...
Deke should speak up..
I never sold to Jackson that I know of except one time a Guy called that
seemed like him and asked about this armour I sold.. he giggled... that
why i thought it may be him...
and some Guy in Toledo worked for him and we were told not to ask
anything about hil as he wouldnt speak.
In my case in the 80s I was in NYC and brought home stuff like posters
as street vendors werer selling it... this was like 83? I cant
remember.... well we sold 30,000 worth o posters and gloves and all in
a few weeks
and had to hire two off duty Toledo police to allow 20 people at a time
in the 700 sq foot shop'
It was like selling fircrackers as people would take everything we had
button, tshirts and poster and gloves and all. strngely I could have
sol 4 x whate we did... But it was differant from anything I ever
experianced..
so I couldnt belive it... I received a Roll of 300 posters and the
supplier sent 300 more COD and I accepted sold tehm all Out in a matter
of days... who could gage it? The kids had BIG smiles and were
danceing in the shop..
after the sale we erected a Fence in our backyard the stockade kind... I
would say " Thats the fence that Michael Jackson built" as we used some
of the funds to pay for the 2000.00 fence
As far as the comments by fellow Moper that posts about the dead..... to
me he serves a purpose and should be considered as tthat he must have
had a trauma in his life... perhaps someon he loved or admired passed
away and it hurt him to the point of disrespecting other as he felt
cheated...so In a way each time he comment he feels he can create a
balance for his hurt by hurting others... It seems to me these people
actually are crying out... because he has tryed to intetionally
humiliate others for his owm amusement...... instead of seeing his
depravity... look at the sadness this man must harbor..... I personally
feel sorrow for these people and hope they can find redeemption, and
peace because to harm otehers for thrills or sell to capitalize on the
tragic part
jsut helps no person.. especially when you lose a long time friend or
family member or pet or anyone you have respected.
wehether we liked Jackson or whatever all humans should be given some
sort of forgiveness .. although
I agree its very hard if not the hardest thing to do .. ever..
especially when Innocence is there or older weaker people.. or like Neda
the Iranian woman who lost her life for sake of peace///
The people that control, abuse , and use others and discredit,
humiliate for the sole purpose of hate and
to scoff at those that are also troubled.... is just plain without any
purpose and shows me that they are
only seeking reaction in the only way they can get the attention by
causeing hurt or suffering....
Its no accomplishment and will not be remembered in peoples hearts
The only way I see for this individual to find peace is to stop and
consider his own Family and if people
made fun of him when his loved ones passed.. perhaps then he will
understand why its not humorous and why when people are in pain or
suffering loss .. we are best to be supportive , and respectfull to others
For fellow Mopoers I feel your anger and hurt and discust... however
consider that the person that
would conduct themselves is not healthy in spiit and we should pray that
they get better.
and not have to suffer the same things tehy have been suggesting about
others.
The person may feel a need to have a cathartic release to quench thier
own personal sadness.
To hear that Micael loved movie stuff shows he would have enjoyed the
people of Mopo
and just as we respect one another we should respect the passing of Ed,
Farrah and Michael
as thier Familys are also suffing at momnet
peace

I remember being at a movie poster show in a Hollywood hotel (not
the Roosevelt) about 25 years ago (long before the Courts Shows

Michael Jackson was there. After a few minutes, he walked by me,
wearing a fedora pulled down over his face and his trademark surgical
mask. Surprisingly, no one appeared to bother him at all (although
there was no hiding the fact that he was Michael Jackson).
He seemed to be a truly troubled spirit, but arguably the greatest
performer in all of our lifetimes. I've never been a huge fan of his,
but I'd give him the nod over Elvis. Just think of all the millions
of fans around the world who are deeply affected by this tremendous
loss. I don't think any other entertainer will ever fill the void---as
strange at times as it may have been. Sure, he had flaws--gigantic at
times--- but his talent and musical vision will always be remembered
with respect and fondness,
I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but one of our fellow
movie poster dealers/collectors, Deke Richards, co-wrote probably a
dozen Jackson 5 songs, including some monster hits (A.B.C. is just one
that comes to mind). He knew Michael before all the changes
began---to his face and otherwise...
