Let's see if those records are selling thirty years from now. I don't
think you get considered artist of the decade for your marketing skill

I had a dream a few nights ago after seeing some footage of the Jackson 5.
In my dream Michael jackson grew up, maturing into a soulman a la Marvin
Gaye. No surgery, no wierdness. He became an elder statesman of R & B,
making credible records, getting the respect of the hip-hop nation. I'm
not kidding, i had this dream. Consider what amazing music he could have
made.
When you see him at twelve you see such soul, charm and talent. What a
waste.
