If the King of Pop is convicted, will radio stations still play his music? |
|
I heard one of his songs today and said to myself, "wow, I havent heard a Michael Jackson song in a long time".
If he's convicted and branded a sexual predator, will we still hear his songs on the radio?

The irony is striking. If you're against illegal wars you're banned...If you like little kids, no prob.

3. Well, just take a look at Gary Glitter |
|
Got caught with child porn, and I also heard that he was busted taking a 12 year old to Cambodia or something like that, yet they still play Rock and Roll Part II at stadiums, and they've got it in one of those Starbucks Frappacino commercials. I'd say they'll still play MJ. Besides, you know that no matter what, there'll still be lots of people who will never believe he's guilty of anything.

6. The films of Roman Polanski are still played. . . |
|
moreover, he was nominated for an academy award in 2002 for The Pianist. And yet he was convicted of sexual assault on a 13 year old girl in 1977. He then skipped bail and fled the country.
Which of his movies have you seen lately: Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, Tess, Frantic, Death and the Maiden, The Ninth Gate, The Pianist. . .

7. he doesn't currently have a recording contract or offers |
|
jesse jackson who is now mj's spokesman i guess, said it's not true that mj is leaving the u.s. if acquitted, not true that he's sold the mythical neverland kiddie trap, not true that he's thinking of settling in paris, london, or africa where he's still hugely adored, and where future touring would generate income.
jesse jackson also said it's not true that mj is thinking of selling of the beatles and elvis catalogues.
i'd bet if convicted, they'd play his stuff a bit less, until they stop altogether, cause he's pretty much washed up anyway. a ridiculous figure, forever tainted by his own special brand of freakishness.
his whole routine is really stale anyway, even if all this weird shit hadn't happened. what a movie it will all make.

9. Sure. There is no such thing as bad publicity |
|
The only one who ever got his career axed was Fatty Arbuckle, unfortunately, he was innocent.
If there is money to be made of him, they will still play MJ songs
