Show notes:
Thriller 40
This year marks 40 years since the release of the Thriller album. This is a huge milestone in Michael's legacy. However, his estate decides to release the milestone album with a terrible graphic art that was not the vision Michael would have wanted to celebrate an album that change the music industry.
There was a small tribute to celebrate the milestone on the Billboard awards back in May. Singer Maxwell sang the song "Lady in My Life". After that, the estate released a statement announcing the upcoming events for the album.
Source: The statement was posted on twitter.com
A petition was done by a fan demanding that the estate change the cover artwork and take this milestone seriously.
What does this mean for the future??? A special thanks for Damien Shields and Vera for all they have done so far to make sure this happened.
Depp Vs. Heard: It Has Nothing to Do With Michael
* Johnny Depp was lied on and was proven in court. Michael was framed and was proven in court.
* Johnny's case was a civil trial and Michael's cases were criminal/civil.
* Their accusers are narcissists and pathological liars.
*However, everyone saw how Johnny was set up and even though Michael was innocent and cleared, there is still "doubt" because of the media not telling the truth.
Sources: Facebook and TJ Jackson's verified Twitter account
* This was not the fight that MJ fans should have participated in.
Chris Brown Being Compared to Michael - Make it Stop.
* The comical nonsense -
Source: Tweet from Ryan Clark verified Twitter account.
* People with no understanding of who Michael truly was were claiming that Chris was "more talented" than MJ. However, for Ryan Clark, his mentionings were a mess and rightfully so.
* Hasbeens, one hit wonders singer Tank (yes, that is really his stage name) and former rapper Joe Budden, also agreed that Chris was more talented than THE MJ. SMH.
* Chris finally killed this nonsense on an interview he did with Big Boy Radio -

This MUST end. It Must.
Invincible Documentary???
* Someone who worked on the Invincible album went on Twitter and stated these tweets (now deleted) -

Interesting.
The Month of June
June 13th - Vindication Day-
Source: The tweets from twitter.com
June 25th -
* Michael was honored on that day. An emotional day as usual.

Then, I saw this on Facebook and it bothered me -
Source: Facebook
On that day, there were fans that were bothered by the haters, the media and other distractions. It has been 13 years since Michael passed on and fans are still bothered that he has haters. When will they develop a back bone and move on from useless people??
This tweet is more evidence that Michael's legacy is doing fine -

The Estate did not do a post on June 25th but waited a whole day to do one on June 26th. The Estate is beyond useless to Michael's legacy.
Elvis Biopic - Michael's Will Not Get That Treatment
* The Elvis biopic did not get into his alleged racism, child abuse and called his drug addiction an drug dependency.
* The mainstream media did a great job promoting the movie and never mentioning his troubling ways. This will not happen to Michael when his biopic is being ready to be promoted. Trust me.
* Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough will not honor Michael the way they honored their father and grandfather. This is why they were silent when LN was happening.
Sources: Austin Brown's verified IG Live post on the Elvis biopic, Lisa Marie Presley with her daughters promoting the biopic, and image from a people.com article on Riley Keough discussing MJ and an fan comment on the Elvis biopic. Michael's quote about Elvis from his autobiography Moonwalk posted on twitter.com
So much to unpack here. SO MUCH.
An "update" on the MJ biopic -
Source: TJ Jackson's interview posted on twitter.com
The Jackson Brothers did an interview months ago and they alluded that they are working on a biopic.
Source: The Jacksons being interviewed posted on Youtube
Are the men talking about the same biopic????
Taking a Break for Personal Reasons
* I am taking a break from doing podcast episodes until November or December.
* I will be working on the Youtube channel and Instagram account.
* During my break, I will be researching for the future podcast episodes, that includes reading books.
* When I return, the podcast will be more focus on interviews, reviews and commentaries. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
