I find this interesting. Most of you have probably already read at some points, but
read what Michael says about the family and the ending is VERY sad.

It was the last time I ever saw him.
Epilogue: When I was writing the Motown oral history for V.F. last year, Jermaine wanted the brothers to be a part of it. Annie Leibovitz and I didn’t want to photograph or interview the brothers without Michael. We got a message from Jermaine that we needed to contact Michael’s spokesman, Dr. Tohme Tohme, who had only a P.O.-box address somewhere in California. I wrote a letter requesting Michael’s participation. We never heard back.

    Just a couple of quick points - "he was taller than I thought" I don't consider 5'9 that tall. And the jackson's had a german shepherd and a doberman. I have seen pictures of the michael with the german shepherd and he is sitting on the ground hugging him yet later he says in the home video that he is afraid of Liz Taylor's little tiny dog because he doesn't trust them???? Sorry I know it's off topic to what is posted here.

    He later said he stopped liking dogs when (I think the doberman) attacked a baby llama of MJ's and KILLED IT! Later he said that he didn't like "little dogs" like Elizabeths because when he used to go door to door as a johova witness, little dogs like that used to nip and bite him. I think he got over his fear because in the Rabbi tapes, he tells Prince not to play with the pooper scooper and that it has "dog doo doo on it" and not to put it in his hair...so that means they had a dog...and I heard that was because he didn't want his children to get the same fear of dogs he had.
