What Its All About

I would like to start by saying that I am a very big fan of Michael Jackson. I have been since i knew who he was, and will be until the day i die. I would also like to say that i do NOT condone anyone taking advantage of Michael Jackson for their own advances. I don't think its right that a lot of people in his life and now in his death are taking advantage of him to make money or make themselves a part of the public eye. With that said, I know a lot of hard core fans, like myself, do not stand for books, such as: "The Michael Jackson Tapes", written by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach or the move, "This Is It", a documentary focusing on his rehearsals of his "This Is It" tour. I completely understand the reasoning behind this, because i too agree that people should not be taking advantage of his death. Although (not to contradict what i have just stated) for fans, it is really hard to grasp the fact that Michael is gone. The truth though, is that he is gone, he's gone and will never come back. But we as fans, need to make sure that he is not gone in spirit, and make sure that hes presence will never disappear, and never fade. This blog is my way of doing so.

I recently received the book "The Michael Jackson Tapes" from a friend. I wouldn't buy it myself because I refused to let someone else profit off of Michael, once again. Nor did i ask anyone to buy it for me, for the same reason. The reality of the situation was that, it was bought for me, and i did read it. It is Michael at his purest, stripped of the fame and the fear of someone judging him. After reading it i felt an abundance of feelings. I felt bad for him, I felt happy for him, I felt sad for him.. the easiest way I can put it is, I simply felt for him. Alright, sooo, Rabbi Shmuley, well i can say two things about him. I will say that AT THE TIME him and Michael were spending time together, I think, he was a good person for Michael. In my opinion, I truly think that Michael should have continued to have the rabbi apart of his life. When i was reading the book, i truly felt that he was making a good impact in Michael's life. Now, when i was reading some of his commentary, that he put in after Michael's death, I felt like he was trying to exploit him, in a negative light, the same way Martin Bashir did. I'm not sure if I think this guy was completely trust worthy. I have put together a hypothesis, i believe that when he was spending time with Michael he was sincere, but when him and Michael lost contact, he may have gotten a bit resentful.

Since I know a lot of people may feel the same way as I, and do not want to, or will not go out and buy this book because they don't want to profit the rabbi, I'm going to copy the book, word by word. That way you can read it from me, someone who only wants to spread his word, and keep his presence known. Not every blog will be about Michael or about the book. Some blogs will be my personal blogs, that way anyone that reads this can get to know me, and vise-versa. As of right now, i have no followers, but i plan on changing that. I don't know how, but ill network or something. Anyway, the way I'm going to do this, is I'm only going to copy the interview itself. I'm not going to put any of the rabbi's commentary. If i get enough.. well actually if i get more then 10 people that want me to put his comments in, then i will. I will also be putting up pics and links to different things. Some about myself, and some about Michael, and some about whatever i want.. cause it is my blog lol.

Well I hope everyone enjoys my blog. I will start on everything tomorrow. Thank you to anyone who will read this.

Sincerely,
Rachel Roo
