Jermaine wants to talk to Michael but doesn't do it because there was tension

的計畫 沒有好印象 離開了CBS 兄弟分道揚鑣
"There was a suggestion for years that I broke up the group by leaving, but I
’ve never viewed it that way. I did not leave them: they left me. They left

越來越親近
"As for how intimate they truly became, this is where his music—nearly
always semi-autobiographical—should speak for itself. Go listen to the
wistful lyrics of “Remember The Time,” released in 1992. That song was, as
Michael told me, written with Diana Ross in mind; the one great love that, as
far as he was concerned, escaped him."
至於到底有多密切的關係呢 說去聽MJ的歌 半自傳你就瞭解了 聽remember the time
的歌詞 就是在寫跟Diana Ross MJ逝去的偉大愛情

didn't realize this until later. Quincy Jones, Off the Wall. Michael crying

at the theather in Hayvenhurst. Rebbie's son Austin was freaked out whenever
Michael tried to get close to him - afraid that Michael would change into a
werewolf in real life as well. Kingdom Hall not happy with the video. The
disclaimer - Kingdom Hall insisted for it. John Landis wrote the disclaimer
not Michael.
戰慄的MV 談到John Landis 怎樣湊到錢拍 MJ在老家放給大家看 MJ的外甥Autin看完嚇死
不敢靠近MJ 怕MJ會突然變成狼人 (那時Autin還沒出生吧) 耶和華教會不爽這個MV 要他

MJ請了Frank DiLeo後來又請了John Branca
"Those two were a double-act that gelled from day one. They reminded me of
Abbott and Costello because Frank was the roly-poly guy with a thick cigar in
his mouth, while Michael was the one doing all the crazy capers. Frank was a
deflector and mouthpiece—a front man—but his know-how also brought a new
slickness to all that Michael did. John Branca, a fair-haired New Yorker, had
become my brother’s new attorney and he, too, would provide expert guidance
in the years ahead. The Branca-Dileo combination was the professional
operation Michael was happy to have surrounding him."
說MJ和Frank從第一天就像唱雙簧的黏在一起 讓他想到Abbott and Costello雙人組
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott_and_Costello Frank 胖胖抽雪茄 而MJ老是那
個做一堆瘋狂事的 Frank是站在第一線講話的人 John Branca是紐約人成了MJ的新律師
