Tiki is a misunderstood, underappreciated subculture. No wonder I like Jacko. I don't think I have ever been able to understand or appreciate Michael Jackson until today. I heard him when I was in grade school and was fascinated by Captain EO as much as the next kid, but never thought of him again as I grew up and had in the last few years thought as little of him as the rest of the world. But this latest surge, this latest orgy, of Michael Jackson bashing has done just the opposite for me - I am suddenly interested in his music again and have found myself listening to it all for the past few days. And it's not just his music. The man rocks too. He's sincerely as weird as he is. He's so comfortable with himself - defying the world and maintaining that YOU ARE peter pan - this ridiculousness at middle age - this is the essence of cool. Here here for Michael Jackson. He's perhaps the most well-adjusted human on this fucked up planet - no wonder his mere existence disturbs most people. [ Edited by: kahukini on 2003-02-26 04:42 ] |

I disagree. Being comfortable with one's self would not prompt so much plastic surgery. Regarding being well adjusted, I think the dude is totally the opposite! He so wants the world to love him that when he's not praised he blames it on the media. I think the man needs serious psyhchiatric evaluation. He's simply not normal. Of course, this is just my humble opinion. |

PolyPop, Don't you see what Kahukini is doing again? Don't fall for the "let me see what reaction I get if I drop my pants in public" posts... |

I just saw the interview finally last night. I'd say he's about one corncob short of a bushel. And what's with these damned kids today? When I was 14 I was bagging groceries, chasing girls, listening to Slayer and getting stoned. Nightly pocket pool with a 44-year-old horrific male freak was not at the top of list of "things to do". |

I think the surgery is way over the top, but other than that, I'm with Kahukini on this one. |

If Michael Jackson collected Tiki, would any of you change your mind about collecting it? :tiki: |

I collect mostly "older" tiki items, so at least I know I wouldn't have any competion from him because he seems to only like "young" things. |

Michael Jackson is a psychologically disturbed, surgically-altered, child molesting freak. |

Michael's face is rotting away like a poor, vintage tiki left out too long in the rain... |

I agree he's BEYOND freakish looking. I saw this funny sequence of photos going from his youth until present day, and the caption was something like: "Only in America can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman." I still laugh about that. |

I agree with Kahukini .... Celebrity and the Music idustry has always had it's share of weirdos. In fact many have built their careers around it. There's plenty of skitzos, messed up druggies, weird sexual preferences, irresponsible behavior. I think the reason the world is so fascinated with Jackson is becuase he manages to never look cool while doing any of it. Does he have problems? Yes. Had he had a ton of plastic surgery? Yes. Does the guy make questionable decisions left and right? Yup. There's a ton of other musicians and celebritys who all fit that description. I don't feel sorry for the guy at all. He's alive, has a ton of money, and has created his own fantansy world in which he never has to leave (well, except for court appearances). ~Hanford |

I don't post things to be sensational or cause a stir. I post them sincerely. I may be drunk at the time, but I am sincere. |
