Motown gave Michael pills when he was youger to prevent his voice from deepening, I assume they where hormonal pills to prevent puberty and he then never got a chance to grow into an adult. Everyone that has met him has said he was very childlike. Not defending any actions but he prefered kids because they were the most like him and he was a little off but we dont know the extent of his actions, they may have been wierd to us but innocent to him. It would be very tempting to sue a wealthy man like MJ and the whole thing could have been made up, it could have been real, but you or I will never know the truth. His music will stand the test of time and he will be remembered long after we are forgotten.

Fills me with the desire to hold those same minions from hotel windows!

Can't argue with the fact that he was a child molester? You may be opening a can of worms there VM.

EDIT: And on that topic, it seems that all groups that are into children are mourning in their special ways..... A must watch!

Here's a picture of Helsinki.

Now that's a pretty water front! (^_^)

Fucking snowing as of yesterday though..

Snow is so beautiful, but such a pain in the arse! We've not had much here in the North West of UK for some time.

It's turned to ice now.

North West of England you say..

I'm from Heaton Mersey originally. Used to ride my bike down the back of St John's. Near Cranford driving range. Mid 70's.

Ice is bad; slippy slidey of the dangerous variety!
　
　
So, how long have you been in Helsinki? I've always had the feeling I'd live abroad one day! Was likely to be Spain, as my ex was Spanish, now, however, I feel drawn to Japan, where my best mate lives. lol, he lives in a place called Toyama, which I like to remind him is the equivalent to our home town here in the UK, Runcorn!

Japan is a country I will visit one day - very expensive have a friend who lived/worked there for several years. Amazing country of culture and facade, it facinates me.

The interesting thing is with Japan tends to trend similar to Japans economy and lifestyles, although it is not a widely acknowledged fact. Especially in terms of governmental health services and costs...a useless bit of info really.

Now where is that Koto preset on the Virus ;~)

Ah, you shouldn't put off visiting Japan, Hobbo! You'll find yourself astonishingly enriched for the journey. I went there, solo, in December 2007, and i didn't want to come back. Spent the first 4 days in Tokyo with my mate, checking out Disneyland Sea (lol), Odaiba, Shinjuku (whoa, what a crazy place!), Shibuya, Taito (where i was staying!), then he had to go ear money so i buggered off on my bill! I went to Osaka first, then Hiroshima, then to Kyoto before heading off to my mate's home town of Toyama!

What memories! (^_^)

Do yourself a favour, make it a priority.
