Тес, за съжаление и разлика от теб аз не тая надежда. Действителността ни го показва. Имам усещането, че ние вече генетично сме обременени. Не сме забравили какво е да правим малките жестове, с които да помогнем на някой, който вероятно би се просълзил от умиление заради вниманието ни, но не ги даваме, защото предпочитаме да отминем.
Лоши сме. Зли. Болни. С изкривена ценностна система. Целият свят е една язва.
Не наистина не виждам надежда. Малки деца се избиват едни други и няма край тази черна статистика. Спомням си, че докато бях в Англия почти всеки ден се съобщаваше как едно дете е убито намушкано. И ставаше дума за възраст около 13- 15. За по - нагоре не говоря. Баща играеше на игрище със сина си и групичка от хлапета / не помня точно защо?!/ беше започнала да ги замерва с камъни. Бащата беше починал на мястото от сърдечен удар.
Не, не мисля, че има надежда.
Иска ми се младите хора да са като теб, но сте много малко сте. Една част от вас са или презадоволени и се превръщат в нихилистични тирани или са от едва оцеляващи семейства, които ги превръщат в индивиди търсещи лесно и бързо измъкване от немотията. Не, че няма изключения, но имам усещането, че са малко.
Има много причини това да се случва и не е наша работа да ги търсим, но толкова много ми се иска, когато Бог ни изпрати учителите си ние да не ги убиваме или той разочарован, че не ги чуваме да си прибира обратно. Гласа им ни е необходим.

И на мен ми се иска същото. Явно един човек, независимо колко известен не би успял да промени всичко това, той може да го промени само за хората, които наистина са способни да го чуят, да се вслушат, да разберат. Но те няма да са всички и тези "аномалии" на тоя свят ще си продължат. Много добре го описва песента "There Must Be More To Life Than This", обичам да я слушам, обичам песни, изпълнени с истина.
Не знам какво точно трябва да стане в световен план за да се преодолее всичко, което описа, но дано поне е възможно... някога.

Не знам защо, но това ми се запечата от филмчето:
"Michael Jackson wanted to heal the world and died trying."
Простичко е, нали? Но на колко хора им стиска?
Не, аз не искам свят на пълна хармония, защото това е абсолютно невъзможно, но искам поне мъничко да се доближим до идеите, които тези хора с големи сърца ни оставиха. Поне малко.
Хубава препратка към "There Must Be More To Life Than This", Тес. Исках да я сложа с Фреди, защото обожавам гласа му, но не успях да я намеря с превод, когато я пеят в дует. Така че ще чуем демото й с Фреди на пияното.



Това вече е жесток офтопик в новините и затова предлагам, ако искате да продължим по темата да се преместим да си говорим в "идеите", за да не дойде някой мод и да ни се скара

Jamie Foxx Added to MJ Tribute Concert, Beyonce's Withdrawal Rumor Denied

Prices Slashed for Michael Jackson Tribute Concert

Tickets are now being offered as buy one get one free and fans are not happy.



The tribute concert, Michael Forever, that's scheduled for October 8 in Cardiff, Wales has been marred with controversy from the beginning. Although LaToya Jackson and Michael's mom, Katherine Jackson are supportive of the event other members of the family think that it should not take place while Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial is still going on.

Ticket prices range from $55-$450 and were intially lotteried. The option to give a charitable amount on top of the ticket price was offered and those people had a better chance of receiving a seat. Now tickets are being offered as buy one get one free according to Billboard.com, possibly due to financial setbacks that have been incurred because of the widespread negative sentiments of fans. Members of the group "Fans Against the Michael Jackson Forever Tribute" on Facebook are pushing hard for the entire event to be cancelled.

Scheduled performers include Cee Lo Green, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Leona Lewis, Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo. Beyonce was supposed to make a satellite performance but just yesterday it was announced that she would now only be making a "special contribution on video." No word on whether this is related to the price slashing on tickets.

Да, напълно. А мен ме и боли...И

Michael Jackson's children to testify at doc trial
By James Dowling 11/09/2011


Michael Jackson's children are set to testify at the trial of the doctor accused of giving him a lethal drugs overdose.

Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 13, and nine-year-old Prince Michael II (known as Blanket) are on a list of potential witnesses at Dr Conrad Murray's hearing this month.

They will have to relive their dad's last moments before a TV audience of millions as the sensational court showdown is beamed around the globe.

Murray is accused of giving the singer a fatal dose of the anesthetic Propofol before his death on June 25, 2009. But his lawyers will claim the star died after taking Propofol pills from his own secret stash.

Murray faces four years in prison and the loss of his medical licence if convicted. He denies the charge of involuntary manslaughter. At an earlier court hearing, Michael's bodyguard Faheem Muhammad told how he led sobbing Prince Michael and Paris out of their father's bedroom as Murray, 58, tried to resuscitate him.

It is thought eldest son Prince Michael is almost certain to take the stand to recount his father's last moments. The youngsters could also be cross-examined by lawyers hoping to show Michael was in poor health before his death.

Also included on the list of nearly 150 possible witnesses are the star's sisters Janet and LaToya, brothers Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, Rebbie and Randy, as well as parents Katherine and Joe Jackson.

Jurors for the trial, which starts on September 27, will be selected from a pool of 145 people who have all been asked 113 probing questions about their knowledge of the case. The trial is expected to last six weeks.

Последно решението на Пастор беше да се изключат изслушвания на близките на Майкъл...А сега...Аз ли нещо не разбирам?

Eх убити хора.. няма по- голяма трагедия, няма
Бясна съм.. бясна....

Незнам защо даже съм пропуснала, че Джърмейн е писал книга за Майкъл.
Дано обаче няма неща, които Майкъл не би искал да има.
Но все пак това е брат му, предполагам ще е искрена книга.

Не знам, Тес, защото онова, което чета засега е спорно и много фенове го отхвърлят. Аз не съм така крайна и въпреки че напоследък тая истинска неприязън към фамилията не мога да подмина факта, че това всъщност са хората, с които Майкъл е израснал. Те могат да ни разкажат много за детството му, за неща, които все още не сме научили. Така че, единственият най - добър критик сме си самите ние. Да, те ще печелят, но и, да, той им беше брат, а всички, които имат брат или сестра знаят, че дори и да ни нараняват, дори и да ги нараняваме не спираме да ги обичаме.

Michael Jackson has earned $310M since death

September 14, 2011 12:04 AM
(AP)LOS ANGELES - Two years after Michael Jackson died deeply in debt, his estate has generated more than $310 million, enabling executors to distribute a preliminary payment of $30 million to Jackson's mother and children, and to unnamed charities, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

Executors also disclosed that Jackson's mother, Katherine, is putting the family's fabled Encino compound up for sale and wants the executors to negotiate the purchase of a new residence for her and the children, Paris, Prince and Michael Joseph Jr., known as Blanket.

The Encino property, where Jackson grew up and where several of his siblings lived in a cottage near their parents' home was appraised at $4.15 million in 2010 but has since undergone extensive renovation. Katherine Jackson and the children moved out and have been living at a leased Calabasas home that is for sale for about $10 million. The executors said Katherine Jackson has identified a number of homes in that price range that would suit her needs and that of the children.

The executors said the trust and the California attorney general's office, which is representing charities as beneficiaries of the estate, have been pressing for distribution of funds.

The executors, John Branca and John McClain, filed a detailed accounting of finances since Jackson's death on June 25, 2009. By the end of last year, the estate had produced more than $310 million in gross revenues. "Since that date, the estate assets have continued to generate additional income," the executors said.

Notably, they said they were able to refinance and secure the estate's interest in the Michael Jackson music catalog, Mijac, and the Sony/ATV publishing catalog, which includes portions of the Beatles catalog.

They said they reduced debt obligations by more than $90 million and refinanced loans at lower interest rates. They also benefited from the release of the posthumous concert film, "This Is It," and said they were able to pay off dozens of approved creditors' claims as well as Jackson's income taxes. Some creditor claims remain open, according to the documents, but the deadline for filing claims against the estate has passed.

"For a number of reasons, including without limitation, pending litigation and a pending estate tax audit, the estate is not yet in a condition to be closed. " the document said. They listed cash on hand of $90 million.

They indicated that the $30 million was a preliminary distribution to the trust and more would be forthcoming in the future.

A hearing for a judge's approval of the plan is set for Sept. 28.

Jackson's death remains in the news as his doctor, Conrad Murray, is set to go on trial on involuntary manslaughter charges. He is accused of negligently administering the anesthetic propofol to Jackson.

Jackson died of an overdose of the drug he was using for sleep. At the time of his death, he was due to launch a concert tour in England. Rehearsal footage for that concert was the basis of the movie "This is It."
