Joe Jackson is the Scum of the Earth

[sunnybrook]

Holding a news conference where his "central topic" was about a new recording company he is starting up, according to the New York Times. Check out the Washington Post article "Jackson's family moves quickly to take charge"

Jackson's father also used the news conference to plug a record company he said he's founding with a business partner.

"We have a lot of good artists pitching to come out," he said.

His son, who had not released a new recording or performed publicly in years, was believed to be hundreds of millions of dollars in debt at the time of his death. However, his finances are complicated and could take years to unravel.

Clearly one of his most valuable assets is his recording catalog, which his father could potentially rerelease through his new record company if the family gains control of his assets. There could also be recordings in Jackson's estate that he had never released.

The AP learned that Jackson had finished an elaborate video production project just two weeks before he died. The five-week project dubbed "Dome Project" could be the final finished video piece overseen by the star.

There's also a financial bonanza to be had in the Sony/ATV Music Publishing catalog of which Jackson owned 50 percent. The 750,000-song catalog includes music by the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Lady Gaga and the Jonas Brothers, and is estimated to be worth as much as $2 billion.

"Quite frankly, he may be worth more dead than alive," Jerry Reisman, general counsel for the Hit Factory, a recording studio where Jackson produced his best-selling album "Thriller," said recently.

Joe Jackson is the devil, pure and simple.

[Patsy Stone]

1. Yes. Yes he is...

:puke:

[Rectangle]

10. He's lower than Whale Dung!! n/t

[Patsy Stone]

13. Just an awful man.

And he did it twice in two days.

[CatWoman]

2. LOL, Sunny

you're little late to that party :)

[sunnybrook]

6. yeah just realized that

[ingac70]

3. I'm glad he's not my Daddy. n/t

[undeterred]

4. Ahem.

I am the scum of the earth and personified evil.

[malaise]

5. Expect him to make a bag of money off of

Michael's unreleased records.

Advertising while pretending to be in mourning is pathetic.

[Moondog]

23. He'll certainly try to do so.

But there are a lot of creditors.

[provis99]

7. your OP title line worried me at first

I thought you might mean Shoeless Joe Jackson or Brit musician Joe Jackson!

[sunnybrook]

11. I wouldn't go that far

but I never really liked his music (British Joe Jackson)

[Obi Wan Jesus]

17. Thats what I thought too

and then I was hurt, because did he not do that awesome song with The Shat, aka, William Shatner, and Ben Folds?

[latebloomer]

8. We hold this truth to be self-evident.

[spanone]

9. michael was exploited by his father in life, why not in death? yep, scum bag

[troubledamerican]

12. What, no Joe Jackson defenders? Not yet.

[sunnybrook]

18. Sharpton was by his side...

But I have never been a Sharpton basher... in fact I loved his speech at the 2004 convention!

[csziggy]

24. Sharpton looked very embarrassed when he was standing in the background

With Joe Jackson pushing his new project.


I hope MJ's advisers made sure Joe never gets control of any of Michael's music and especially any of Michael's kids. If they did not make sure there was a will and that the assets were locked up to protect them from exploitation by Jackson family members, any attorneys among them should be disbarred!

[ecstatic]

14. He sounds a bit senile

Any normal, clear thinking person would know that that type of talk is HIGHLY inappropriate, just days after Michael's death.

[MajorChode]

15. He's actually perfectly in character

He's always been a 4 star asshole.

[cascadiance]

16. I will defend the other "Joe Jackson" (who is the only one I've known for many years)...

and put out a lot of good music like that on this classic album...

I hope this is the "Joe Jackson" that we remember moving forward, not the other guy that doesn't deserve to be talked about for much longer.

[sunnybrook]

19. OK I don't dislike him

more of a neutral feeling... but this Joe Jackson, nothing neutral there. Inspires outrage in me!

[Ilsa]

20. Your Joe Jackson is awesome! He's my JJ, also! nt

[slampoet]

21. YES, Please say MJ's Father Joe Jackson please.

[madrchsod]

27. ya! joe`s the man....thanks ...more vids on my youtube bookmarks

[madrchsod]

30. there`s a rocking 1979 concert of joe`s in wolfgangs vault...

[dysfunctional press]

47. joe jackson is great.

i love how he's worked with a LOT of different styles of music, as well.

[sunnybrook]

22. it's interesting how the petitions for the kids

and the other legal wrangling is in the name of his mother... as if maybe the court will forget about the other person that lives in the house... aka Satan!

[Triana]

29. LOL! I just called him that in my post - and that was BEFORE I read yours!

Guess we recongnize the bastard when we see him, no?

[muntrv]

25. Yep. Joe's also the one who taunted Michael about his nose, thus inspiring

him to get several nose jobs.

[madrchsod]

26. he`s the reason mike was so fucked up...

i hope he gets his due someday

[Triana]

28. Took Satan all of 10 seconds to walk over top of his own son's dead body to get to the money...

...I think he always hated Michael - maybe all his kids. Maybe was jealous of them - esp the more successful ones. The man is a horrid abuser, f*cking opportunist with an ice cube where his heart ought to be.

[Jackeens]

31. Just watched him on Sky (UK) promoting his record company....sorry, but I hope he dies screaming.

That fucker should be in jail. Child-abusing scum.

[sunnybrook]

36. you speak the truth!

[sarcasmo]

32. Joe sees the Dollar signs, I sure hope Michael had a will.

[cagesoulman]

34. Joe says there's no will, but LA website reports that there is

nt

[Faryn Balyncd]

33. K&R - - Why did the police not secure the mansion before Joe Jackson brought in the moving vans?

They brought out bags of pharmaceuticals today, but what was removed by Joe's movers that will never be seen?

Joe Jackson was angry that the coroner wanted toxicology results before making a diagnosis, then brought in moving vans to remove household items.

What exactly was removed by Joe Jackson's movers?

Did he remove papers and a will?

what right does Joe Jackson have to do what he has done?

[BrklynLiberal]

35. Someone theorized that the reason MJ tried to change his appearance so

much, is that as he got older, he saw his father looking back at him in the mirror. He did not want any of that!!

[sunnybrook]

37. his so called "father"

who Michael said he was not allowed to call him Dad or Father but had to call him "Joseph"... it is JOSEPH dickhead Jackson that needs to listen to that song! That is the man in the mirror that never sees himself! Or sees only himself...

[Patchuli]

38. That pissed me off too.

He didn't deserve to father poor wonderful Michael. We can see how broken up he is. He sees $$$$$

[GeorgeGist]

39. So Death of the Devil's son

was the plan all along. And Devil will reap millions from his resurrection. That plot has an eerie familiarity to it.

[LynneSin]

40. Geez, can you be insultive enough....

How do you think Scum feel being compared to Joe Jackson?

[rvablue]

41. I hope CA probate judges are paying close attention to his blatant self promotion.

If he gains custody of those children, do not doubt for a second that within a year or two they will be on tour as "The Jackson 3."

[noiretextatique]

42. poor MJ, no wonder is was so screwed up

his dad won't profit from his death. the brothers and sisters my have to step in to make sure that doesn't happen.

[taterguy]

43. Could you just call him Michael Jackson's dad so we don't confuse him with the British musician

Thank you

[eppur_se_muova]

44. We could call him "Soulless Joe" --

how's that for disambiguation?

[elehhhhna]

45. He's te black Dick Cheney

[spiritual_gunfighter]

46. Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Is she really gonna take him home tonite?
