Jackson, Michael/Expert Profile

Expertise

I cannot answer personal questions, as I did not personally know him. I can answer questions that have some previous documentation or substantiation, be it a newspaper article, reliable author, interviews, photos, videos, etc. There are differences between rumors and facts. I try to give answers of fact if possible. I am very good at research and follow-up, and I try to be thorough in my answers.

Experience in the area

I have been interested in all things Michael Jackson since 1979. The first album I ever bought with my own money was Off the Wall. He introduced me to the idea of loving music. I was a freshman in HS when I saw him Moonwalk at the Motown 25 show on TV. I lived through the Thriller/Bad era's in my teen/early adult years. As the years went on, I still appreciated Michael's music -- all the way through Invincible. His music was/is the soundtrack of my life. After the music hooked me, I learned more about the man behind the music. After learning about the man, I understood the music and how autobiographical it is. I want to share my knowledge with others and learn as much as I can about him.
