Thanks Letty. I knew most of the facts behind his story, but 3 bottles of vodka a day?

Jeez Louise...
You did get me thinking about publicity though. I have heard for years that there is no such thing as bad publicity, but I do think there are certain things the public just won't support. For example, posession of child pornography has done nothing for the careers of Gary Glitter or R. Kelly, and I don't think the pedophilia charges against Michael Jackson will help his already flagging career. Who knows how many people would have actually gone to see this movie, had it been made, but I think a lot of people would just be horrified at the whole concept of some young boy riding Michael Jackson all around town.
Clapton was at least selling records during his entire career. I can't say the same for Jackson. He is in hock to Sony for millions.
