IMO Mr J was always the brute force behind the jacksons stardom and they were a religious family as well, where IMO, always went the way HE wanted it to be. HIS image and his ego is apparent. He is embarassed by MJ's use of drugs, his reputation being tainted even after death as I hate to say this but believe there is still alot of money to be made off his son and CM gave him the perfect excuse to point the finger even though CM's actions are in reality not right and he should definitely pay a price for it, CM was an enabler of a problem that already existed. MR J's graver problem is that, that reflects on him and his abuse of MJ.

Thanks, O'soul -- that was my impression, too, of Mr. J. I felt that all of the rest of the J's (mom included) had learned to just let him take charge, period. He obviously worked hard at getting them exposure, and it paid off, but it my experience, most of the time, really big talent surfaces in spite of so many adverse conditions, lack of exposure, etc., etc. We've seen it historically and in our time.
So, anyway, MJ was pushed out there while he was still a little bud on the vine, and he handled it the best way he could.
