Michael Jackson: Heck On Wheels - Page 2
'To be honest, he looked a bit weird wheeling himself around covered up in a surgeon's mask and that is probably what freaked people out to not want to approach him.
'When they left the shop, the children came out first and he was wheeled out behind them. He never left the wheelchair at any point in the shop.'
You know what? If I saw a tall, extremely thin man sitting in a wheelchair with a dreadlock wig, trucker hat, sunglasses, and a surgical mask at my local bookstore, I'd think, "That is definitely Michael Jackson, and I'm staying away from him. Yuck." Then I'd probably douse my hands with Germ-X just from being in the same room.
Let's face it...these so-called "disguises" do nothing but draw attention to him. Everybody knows this is MJ, he'd do better to try and look like a normal black man. Now THAT would blend in and nobody would know it's him!
The ones I truly feel sorry for are his children. They didn't ask to be born into his perverted world, to live under a microscope all their lives. They're living in a rented in Lost Wages (an apt place for MJ to live), they have no permanent home, they can't go to school (I mean, they're Michael's kids, can you imagine?), and it appears they have no friends other than each other and whoever Michael brings home. From all accounts, they are polite and well-behaved, but there's more to a well-brought-up child than knowing how to properly act in public. By all appearances they seem to be normal, attractive children, not the freaks the public has guessed them out to be in the past when their father kept them under wraps and masks and blankets. Yet, due to their father's freakish behavior, we were led to believe that there must be either something wrong with them or he was hyper-afraid of something terrible happening to them if their faces were to be seen.
So if he really needs the wheelchair for a recurring back problem, then he has my sympathy. But if he's just using it to try and disguise himself...well, do you think it's working?
