The one time, king of pop may |

they're still as Whacko as ever. |

| 00:01:26 |
So much has been said about the life |
| 00:01:30 |
that it has become almost impossible to |
| 00:01:32 |
disentangle the man from the myth. |
| 00:01:36 |
He's been performing |
| 00:01:38 |
breaking records since he was 11 |
| 00:01:41 |
and a star without equal |
| 00:01:45 |
Recent revelations are only |
| 00:01:48 |
of a saga that began decades ago. |
| 00:01:51 |
From his drilling as a child star |
| 00:01:55 |
to his rise as the king of pop |
| 00:01:57 |
followed by his public humiliation |
| 00:02:04 |
We'll be examining the real |
| 00:02:08 |
of a black American icon who was destined to |
| 00:02:11 |
become the most controversial figure |
| 00:02:20 |
Born in Garry in Indiana in 1958. |
| 00:02:23 |
Michael Joseph Jackson was seventh |
| 00:02:29 |
His father, joseph Jackson, |
| 00:02:31 |
who had a reputation as a strict disciplinarian |
| 00:02:33 |
organised a family band made up of his children. |
| 00:02:36 |
Jackie, Germain, Tito and Marlin. |
| 00:02:41 |
In 1963, at the tender age of five, |
| 00:02:54 |
Joseph scheduled a strict regime |
| 00:02:58 |
relentless hours of practice, |
| 00:03:00 |
left very little time for |
| 00:03:09 |
In 1966the brothers won a talent contest |
| 00:03:12 |
at the renowned Apollo theatre |
| 00:03:15 |
and within a year had supported |
| 00:03:19 |
Gladys recommended the group |
| 00:03:24 |
(voice of Gladys Knight) |
| 00:03:28 |
Joe [unclear] were very into these children |
| 00:03:32 |
and they were struggling trying |
| 00:03:35 |
introduced to the entertainment world. |
| 00:03:39 |
And Jo had come by, |
| 00:03:41 |
he would bring them by the |
| 00:03:44 |
and the pips were, were, |
| 00:03:46 |
were really more familiar with |
| 00:03:48 |
and they had been talking about |
| 00:03:52 |
So i said, well hey, let me see what i can do, |
| 00:03:55 |
so i went and we were with Motown |
| 00:03:58 |
and i called the company and i asked them |
| 00:04:01 |
if they could send a representative |
| 00:04:05 |
because they were performing on the |
| 00:04:08 |
And i didn't carry a whole lot of weight |
| 00:04:11 |
and they said,well,we'll do the best we can. |
| 00:04:21 |
Motown sent a young executive, |
| 00:04:22 |
Suzanne De Passe to meet the boys |
| 00:04:26 |
and the Jackson five were born. |
| 00:04:29 |
(Voice of suzanne De Passe) |
| 00:04:33 |
I'd been with them for about |
| 00:04:36 |
in an apartment building where |
| 00:04:39 |
Bobby Taylor lived and he called me, |
| 00:04:42 |
because he knew i worked in Barry Gordie's office |
| 00:04:44 |
and he said, you've got to come down. |
| 00:04:45 |
And i went down to his apartment and there, |
| 00:04:49 |
Sort of stretched out across |
| 00:04:51 |
Michael and his brothers and Jo |
| 00:04:56 |
who were with them at the time |
| 00:04:58 |
and i was like curious and he clapped, |
| 00:05:01 |
Bobby clapped his hands and said, |
| 00:05:02 |
let's sing and Michael and his brothers got up |
| 00:05:06 |
and they sang A Capella |
| 00:05:08 |
and it really blew me away. |
| 00:05:13 |
Michael Jackson first entered |
| 00:05:17 |
just three months after his ninth birthday, |
| 00:05:20 |
by the age of 10 he became lead vocalist. |
| 00:05:24 |
A year later he and his older brothers |
| 00:05:27 |
I Want You Back. |
| 00:05:29 |
It became more than just a hit. |
| 00:05:31 |
It was an oral steamroller. |
| 00:05:34 |
It shot to number one in America |
| 00:05:38 |
Michael was just 11 years old. |
| 00:05:41 |
Jackson mania had arrived. |
| 00:05:49 |
Over a ten month period, |
| 00:05:51 |

| 00:06:13 |
the title song, Ben became a world wide smash, |
| 00:06:17 |
giving Michael his first of solo success. |

By 1975, after 13 albums |
| 00:06:37 |
and countless top ten hits, |
| 00:06:39 |
Motown and the Jackson five were to part company. |
| 00:07:01 |
With a fresh start and Epic |
| 00:07:05 |
The Jacksons, the Journey was far from over. |

| 00:07:33 |
Diana Ross played Dorothy. |
| 00:07:36 |
The Movie flopped. |
| 00:07:38 |
Michael was introduced to Quincy Jones on the set, |
| 00:07:41 |
which led to Jackson's first |
| 00:07:45 |
Off The Wall. |
| 00:07:47 |
The album went platinum, |
| 00:07:51 |
and catapulted Michael Jackson's solo career |
| 00:07:54 |
into orbit around the globe. |

| 00:08:39 |
An incredible seven of the nine songs |
| 00:08:42 |

| 00:08:44 |
Today, Thriller retains its title as the |

During the 1980s Michael Jackson's |
| 00:08:55 |
many of the worlds leading political |
| 00:08:58 |

| 00:09:18 |
Beat It and Billy Jean. |
| 00:09:21 |
Unlike many artists, |
| 00:09:25 |
instead he chose to dictate the |
| 00:09:28 |
and when recording he would sing from memory. |
| 00:09:31 |
rather than read the words. |
| 00:09:33 |
Aside from his music, |
| 00:09:35 |
Michael Jackson was to revolutionise music videos, |

The popular music channel, |

On January 27, 1984, |
| 00:12:42 |
Michael jackson and his four brothers |
| 00:12:45 |
for a pepsi cola commercial |

when a bizarre firework accident during filming |
| 00:12:50 |
resulted in Michael suffering |
| 00:12:55 |
Plastic surgery was required |
| 00:13:11 |
By 1988 Michael was taking a hiatus |
| 00:13:14 |
between albums and living at |
| 00:13:18 |
a 2,600 acre ranch in Santa Barbra California. |
| 00:13:22 |
He called it Neverland, |
| 00:13:26 |
in the JM Barry Novel, Peter pan. |
| 00:13:30 |
Neverland continued a private amusement park, |
| 00:13:32 |
plus a small zoo stocked with exotic animals |
| 00:13:35 |
such as elephants, snakes, giraffes and lions. |
| 00:13:40 |
Michael's favourite pet was the famous Bubbles. |
| 00:13:43 |
his chimpanzee who travelled everywhere with him. |
| 00:13:47 |
The ranch was maintained by 54 full time staff. |
| 00:13:50 |
Michael was never short of visitors |
| 00:13:54 |
Children, especially sick |
| 00:13:58 |
to there. |
| 00:14:04 |
In 1987 the album, |
| 00:14:08 |
came a significantly different |
| 00:14:23 |
The 1988, Bad tour was attended by Prince charles |
| 00:14:27 |
and Princess Diana. |
| 00:14:29 |
Prior to taking the stage, |
| 00:14:30 |
Michael presented |
| 00:14:33 |
a 300,000 cheque from the |
| 00:14:37 |
for the princes Trust, |
| 00:14:39 |
a charity that supports disadvantaged children. |
| 00:14:42 |
Michael presented princess Diana |
| 00:14:45 |
made Bad World tour jackets, |
| 00:14:50 |
Prince william and Prince Harry. |
| 00:17:07 |
During the 1980s at the peak of his career, |
| 00:17:10 |
Michael Jackson was the most |
| 00:17:14 |
a sex symbol known for wearing fetish outfits |
| 00:17:17 |
and grabbing his crotch on stage |
| 00:17:20 |
and By the End of the 80s, Michael was found, |
| 00:17:29 |
Post Millennium, |
| 00:17:34 |
Hounded by the press and the courts |
| 00:17:37 |
he became the victim of as many |
| 00:17:41 |
The bizarre tabloid rumours became |
| 00:17:47 |
It was alleged that |
| 00:17:49 |
for the bones of John Merrick, the elephant man, |
| 00:17:52 |
that to maintain his high-pitched voice, |
| 00:17:54 |
he was taking hormone treatment. |
| 00:17:57 |
Increasingly outlandish headlines claimed |
| 00:17:59 |
that to keep his youthful appearance, |
| 00:18:01 |
he slept in a hyperbolic chamber. |
| 00:18:05 |
When it was reported that |
| 00:18:08 |
to make him appear whiter, |
| 00:18:10 |
some felt that he was denying his ancestral past. |
| 00:18:14 |
Michael later revealed that he |
| 00:18:17 |
Vitiligo which affects the skins pigmentation, |
| 00:18:21 |
resulting in the appearance of large, |
| 00:18:37 |
With the release of the album. Dangerous in 1991 |
| 00:18:40 |
and its estimated global |
| 00:18:44 |
rumours became rife that Sony were |
| 00:18:48 |
and Michael was not living up to the |
| 00:18:59 |
By 1995, Michael had finished |
| 00:19:03 |
Which controversially contained new material |
| 00:19:06 |
mixed with old and featured |
| 00:19:24 |
(Voice of Janet Jackson) |
| 00:19:25 |
when we wrote this song. |
| 00:19:27 |
It was very interesting to see his work, at work, |
| 00:19:30 |
because i hadn't seen him in a very long time. |
| 00:19:33 |
I think the last time i saw him at work |
| 00:19:35 |
was the Thriller album, really. |
| 00:19:38 |
Just being there in the studio |
| 00:19:41 |
most definitely i did it for |
| 00:19:44 |
It'll always be that way, |
| 00:19:46 |
because that's what i am |
| 00:19:55 |
Although singles from History |
| 00:19:58 |
the album was never really |
| 00:20:02 |
Michael was criticised for being unable |
| 00:20:15 |
Though completely denied by either of therm. |
| 00:20:18 |
the media suggested that Michael was |
| 00:20:20 |
romantically involved with childhood friend, |
| 00:20:25 |
(Voice of Brooke Shields) |
| 00:20:27 |
in the same business and |
| 00:20:30 |
in the sense that we were... |
| 00:20:31 |
We had to being in this business |
| 00:20:35 |
we learned a sense of... |
| 00:20:38 |
we had defence mechanisms |
| 00:20:40 |
and i think once we met each other, |
| 00:20:42 |
we realised that we didn't really |
| 00:20:45 |
And that just, |
| 00:20:48 |
on a very different level. |
| 00:20:50 |
I think we both had a crush |
| 00:20:51 |
and still do have a crush on each other. |
| 00:20:53 |
I mean i think part of having a crush |
| 00:20:58 |
almost, I mean we have a lot of fun together |
| 00:21:00 |
and it's almost unfortunate, |
| 00:21:01 |
because we know each other so well. |
| 00:21:03 |
Um, well actually i think right now, |
| 00:21:06 |
let me Just say that i believe that we're |
| 00:21:09 |
I think we love each other more now than |
| 00:21:12 |
we even knew we did when we were younger. |
| 00:21:14 |
I feel closer to him than, |
| 00:21:18 |
some of the boyfriends that i've had. |
| 00:21:20 |
I mean i feel more relaxed around him, |
| 00:21:22 |
I'm more comfortable with him. |
| 00:21:24 |
So it's sort of, |
| 00:21:27 |
so it's sort of, that is part of that, |
| 00:21:28 |
but its like a love on a very different level |
| 00:21:33 |
and it's hard to really explain and |
| 00:21:36 |
to people it's been misinterpreted |
| 00:21:38 |
and its a shame, because it hurts him too |
| 00:21:43 |
when he feels that people misinterpret the way |
| 00:21:46 |
we feel about each other. |
| 00:21:47 |
And he did, he gave me the most |
| 00:21:54 |
that you can ever imagine |
| 00:21:56 |
and of course then people built |
| 00:21:59 |
and they said he, we were engaged and it really, |
| 00:22:03 |
it was a friendship ring and |
| 00:22:05 |
it was the most adorable thing, he... |
| 00:22:07 |
We hadn't really ever exchanged gifts before. |
| 00:23:00 |
1993 brought the first bombshell. |
| 00:23:04 |
Rumours about Micheal Jackson |
| 00:23:07 |
with children began to surface |
| 00:23:09 |
and the world held its breath |
| 00:23:11 |
as the king of pop denied |
| 00:23:14 |
at his Neverland ranch in Santa Barbara. |
| 00:23:18 |
Micheal went public with his denial |
| 00:23:21 |
with any child and settled out |
| 00:23:24 |
for a reputed $20 Million. |
| 00:23:28 |
This was a start of a chain of events |
| 00:23:30 |
that would ultimately damage Michael's |
| 00:23:42 |
It was during this time that |
| 00:23:45 |
took place to Lisa Marie Presley, |
| 00:23:48 |
whose father was one of the few men |
| 00:23:49 |
who could rival Michael's worldwide fame. |
| 00:23:53 |
Despite media speculation about |
| 00:23:57 |
Lisa Marie and Michael were only too happy to |
| 00:24:00 |
publicly denounce rumours |
| 00:24:02 |
and declare that their love |
| 00:24:06 |
The marriage was short lived |
| 00:24:07 |
and ended on amicable terms in 1996. |
| 00:24:13 |
Within a year of separation, |
| 00:24:15 |
Michael's association with his |
| 00:24:18 |
Deborah Rowe led to an announcement |
| 00:24:20 |
that she was pregnant with his first child. |
| 00:24:24 |
Soon after this, |
| 00:24:28 |
Deborah gave birth to a son, |
| 00:24:30 |
Prince Michael Jackson junior |
| 00:24:34 |
Paris Michael Catherine. |
| 00:24:37 |
Despite having two children together, |
| 00:24:40 |
the relationship was not to last |
| 00:24:42 |
and by Autumn 1999 the couple |
| 00:24:47 |
with full custody of the children |
| 00:24:51 |
In 2002, Michael announced |
| 00:24:55 |
Prince Michael the second. |
| 00:24:57 |
To this day, the mother's name remains a mystery. |
| 00:25:02 |
In 2002 Michael Jackson released |
| 00:25:07 |
It was a financial disaster, |
| 00:25:09 |
selling only 2 Million Copies in the US |
| 00:25:12 |
and after an association that |
| 00:25:15 |
Sony failed to renew its contract with Michael. |
| 00:25:20 |
The king of pop was loosing popularity. |
| 00:25:29 |
We were already off the wall |
| 00:25:32 |
and we're coming off our seats to stand up |
| 00:25:36 |
for justice in the music industry. |
| 00:25:42 |
This is very important, |
| 00:25:48 |
black artists have been |
| 00:25:53 |
and it's time now that we have |
| 00:25:57 |
incredible injustice and |
| 00:26:02 |
people from James Brown to Sammy Davis Junior, |
| 00:26:05 |
some of the real pioneers that inspired me |
| 00:26:09 |
to be the entertainer that i am. |
| 00:26:11 |
These artists are always on tour |
| 00:26:12 |
because if they stop touring they |
| 00:26:18 |
it's been... The record companies really, |
| 00:26:20 |
really do conspire against the artists. |
| 00:26:22 |
They steal, they cheat, they do whatever they can |
| 00:26:25 |
especially the black artists. |
| 00:26:27 |
Yeah. |
| 00:26:31 |
Now let me say this |
| 00:26:34 |
Sony Tommy Mottola, |
| 00:26:36 |
Tommy Mottola is the president |
| 00:26:40 |
He's a mean, he's a racist |
| 00:26:44 |
and he's very, very, very devilish. |
| 00:26:54 |
Pass it on this way, and whoever else |
| 00:26:57 |
who are artists that are on their |
| 00:26:59 |
Sony sucks! Sony sucks! Sony sucks! |
| 00:27:01 |
I want to hear the guys at the back. |
| 00:27:25 |
There has been much criticism |
| 00:27:27 |
and speculation regarding Michael's |
| 00:27:31 |
An incident in 2002 which was |
| 00:27:35 |
showed Michael holding his baby |
| 00:27:39 |
for his chanting fans to see. |
| 00:27:41 |
It created uproar. |
| 00:27:46 |
Hey Michael! |
| 00:27:56 |
Those close to Michael have always insisted |
| 00:27:59 |
that he is a responsible parent and |
| 00:28:11 |
Michael Jackson had become an easy target. |
| 00:28:15 |
The harder he tried to protect his privacy, |
| 00:28:17 |
the more absurd the stories became. |
| 00:28:21 |
Claims of Michael sharing his |
| 00:28:24 |
Bubbles fulled hysteria. |
| 00:28:27 |
More outrageous tales began to surface |
| 00:28:29 |
when Michael's sister Latoya |
| 00:28:33 |
Claims circulated that Michael and Latoya |
| 00:28:35 |
were one and the same person. |
| 00:28:39 |
Michael's dramatic change in |
| 00:28:41 |
prompted speculation that he was |
| 00:28:45 |
Diana Ross, or even Peter Pan. |
| 00:28:49 |
Throughout all of this, |
| 00:28:50 |
Michael continued to be adored |
| 00:29:35 |
Don't you think the last |
| 00:29:40 |
Thank you, thank you. |
| 00:29:42 |
what so special about the |
| 00:29:46 |
What makes this a great night for you? |
| 00:29:49 |
It's the reunion and I'm honoured |
| 00:29:52 |
that the world appreciates my art, |
| 00:30:05 |
How great is Michael as a man. |
| 00:30:07 |
I mean not as a person. |
| 00:30:10 |
well, he is like, one of my closest friends |
| 00:30:13 |
and we know more about each other probably than, |
| 00:30:17 |
um, any two people and love him and he loves me. |
| 00:30:26 |
(Voice of Brooke Shields) |
| 00:30:28 |
I mean, first of all, granted, |
| 00:30:32 |
you take everything with a grain of salt |
| 00:30:34 |
and there are many things |
| 00:30:36 |
that i don't find pleasurable, |
| 00:30:39 |
but people, so many people don't really know him |
| 00:30:41 |
and they don't give him a chance |
| 00:30:43 |
and they're so ready to criticize. |
| 00:30:44 |
And i think what happens is when you see genius |
| 00:30:47 |
and when you see a talent that is |
| 00:30:52 |
the first reaction people have is to criticize it. |
| 00:30:55 |
because it scares them, |
| 00:30:56 |
it threatens them and it. |
| 00:30:57 |
it in order to augment their own self worth, |
| 00:31:00 |
they feel that they have to belittle him |
| 00:31:02 |
and you know, he's a sensitive human being, |
| 00:31:07 |
all of the negativity, |
| 00:31:19 |
( voice of Michael Jackson) |
| 00:31:20 |
This is their time for this and |
| 00:31:23 |
You should not say he's an animal, he's a, |
| 00:31:25 |
you should not say he's a Jacko, |
| 00:31:27 |
I'm not a Jacko, I'm jackson. |
| 00:31:30 |
Whacko Jacko, where does that come from, huh? |
| 00:31:33 |
Some English tabloid. |
| 00:31:35 |
I have a heart and i have feelings. |
| 00:31:37 |
I feel that, when you do that to me, |
| 00:31:40 |
Don't do it. |
| 00:31:41 |
I'm not a whacko. |
| 00:31:43 |
There's a time when i give a concert |
| 00:31:48 |
that want to come can come and enjoy the show. |
| 00:31:50 |
And there's a time when you want to, |
| 00:31:52 |
you like to be in private when |
| 00:31:54 |
and go to sleep, cut of the light, |
| 00:31:57 |
That's your private space. |
| 00:31:59 |
You go in the park. I can't go in the park, |
| 00:32:02 |
so I creat my own park at Neverland, |
| 00:32:04 |
my own water space, my movie theatre, |
| 00:32:07 |
my theme park, that's all for me to enjoy. |
| 00:32:09 |
i don't want paparazzi really. but if they come, |
| 00:32:12 |
be kind, write the right kind thing to write. |
| 00:32:21 |
When film director, |
| 00:32:24 |
for using anti-semetic lyrics, |
| 00:32:26 |
the king of pop was forced |
| 00:32:29 |
denying prejudice towards anyone, |
| 00:32:32 |
but by this point the media |
| 00:32:36 |
Which was to culminate in what remains |
| 00:32:38 |
one of the major scandals of pop history. |
| 00:32:43 |
In 2003 came headlines that shook |
| 00:32:50 |
Nine separate charges of child molestation |
| 00:32:55 |
and his time he was to appear in court |
| 00:32:58 |
under the scrutiny of the world press. |
| 00:33:01 |
A furious flurry of claims and denials |
| 00:33:04 |
and counter allegations followed. |
| 00:33:07 |
Everyone had opinions about the |
| 00:33:11 |
as the drama was played out in California. |
| 00:33:14 |
Please keep an open mind and |
| 00:33:17 |
I deserve a fair trial like every |
| 00:33:21 |
I will be acquitted and vindicated |
| 00:33:26 |
I would like to let the world |
| 00:33:28 |
I don't believe any of this stuff |
| 00:33:32 |
because i raised him |
| 00:33:33 |
and i know that's just a |
| 00:33:36 |
we support our brother whole-heartedly and um, um, |
| 00:33:41 |
we stand by his side and, there is, |
| 00:33:43 |
we're in the process of planning a trip |
| 00:33:45 |
for the whole family to be with him. |
| 00:33:50 |
The case was dubbed the trial of the century |
| 00:33:53 |
and gained global notoriety, |
| 00:33:56 |
not only because of Jackson's fame, |
| 00:33:58 |
but also because of the antics |
| 00:34:31 |
When trial began, hoards of Michael supporters |
| 00:34:34 |
held vigil for their hero, |
| 00:34:38 |
When Michael arrived at court |
| 00:34:42 |
and began dancing. |
| 00:35:21 |
After two months, |
| 00:35:22 |
85 witnesses and five hundred pieces of evidence, |
| 00:35:26 |
the prosecution rested its |
| 00:35:30 |
On June 13, 2005 Michael was found not guilty |
| 00:35:36 |
and completely cleared of all charges. |
| 00:35:39 |
His fame wildly celebrated his acquittal. |
| 00:35:44 |
I would like to thank the fans around the world. |
| 00:35:48 |
Can you speak up please? |
| 00:35:49 |
I would like to thank the fans around the world |
| 00:35:52 |

| 00:36:18 |
that's why i moved here. |
| 00:36:20 |
Thank you very much. |
| 00:36:23 |
Long after the headlines died, |
| 00:36:25 |
thousands of celebrity watchers and pop music fans |
| 00:36:28 |
continue their obsession |
| 00:36:32 |
but after restless, |
| 00:36:33 |
but reclusive wanderings |
| 00:36:36 |
Ireland, England and France, |
| 00:36:39 |
where will Michael go next? |
| 00:36:42 |
It is my pleasure; |

| 00:37:32 |

| 00:37:43 |

| 00:37:48 |
He knows more about Guy Fawks than rugby. |
| 00:37:54 |
he was the guy that blew up |
| 00:37:56 |
He certainly did. |
| 00:37:57 |
But why is that a celebration? |
| 00:38:00 |
Well we celebrate the fact |
| 00:38:04 |
Okay, thank you, bye everybody. |
| 00:38:05 |
What are you hoping to see here? |
| 00:38:06 |
Pardon? |
| 00:38:07 |
What are you hoping to see here? |
| 00:38:09 |
Gee i don't know, i haven't been in yet. |
| 00:38:13 |
Throughout his career, |
| 00:38:15 |
Michael Jackson has always found time |
| 00:38:17 |
to dedicate himself to a vast array |
| 00:38:21 |
Are we blind to the fact that our children |
| 00:38:25 |
are raging against the indifference, |
| 00:38:27 |
crying out against the abandonment |
| 00:38:30 |
of thundering against the neglect. |
| 00:38:34 |
Heal The Kids is about doing something about |
| 00:38:36 |
making a difference to help |
| 00:38:38 |
and parents realise that it is our power |
| 00:38:41 |
to change the world that our children live in. |
| 00:38:50 |
(Voice of Iman Bowie) |
| 00:38:55 |
I mean, somebody like me, |
| 00:38:57 |
whose my work in Somalia just brought me |
| 00:39:00 |
to the fringe of what's happened in that country. |
| 00:39:03 |
I mean, as a humanitarian, |
| 00:39:05 |
we don't have a better spokesperson |
| 00:39:08 |
Like Michael Jackson. |
| 00:39:09 |
I'm shocked and inspired |
| 00:39:13 |
I cannot say more about that. |
| 00:39:16 |
Heal the World became one of |
| 00:39:20 |
In 1995 Heal the World would become |
| 00:39:25 |
raising millions for worthy causes |
| 00:39:28 |
and Michael continues to strive to |
| 00:39:30 |
improve the lives of children everywhere. |
| 00:39:33 |
One of these was a young boy named Ryan. |
| 00:39:36 |
who was diagnosed with the AIDs virus. |
| 00:39:40 |
(voice of Jean White) |
| 00:39:43 |
it, it's strange, |
| 00:39:46 |
I said, well what is it that connected |
| 00:39:50 |
well most People can't get |
| 00:39:53 |
So nobody can ever act normal around me. |
| 00:39:55 |
He said, Ryan knew how i wanted to be treated, |
| 00:39:57 |
because that's how he wanted to be treated. |
| 00:39:59 |
Ryan spend five days with Michael in 1990, |
| 00:40:02 |
right his death Ryan was so worried |
| 00:40:04 |
about being a burden to Michael, |
| 00:40:06 |
because he could hardly walk, |
| 00:40:08 |
he was very ill and they did a lot of fun things. |
| 00:40:10 |
And the first night i said |
| 00:40:13 |
And he said, well we spent three hours |
| 00:40:15 |
watching three stooges movies. |
| 00:40:17 |
I mean this was something that... |
| 00:40:19 |
Ryan loved comedy, so does Michael. |
| 00:40:21 |
They went shopping and i said, you know, |
| 00:40:24 |
who drove and he said, |
| 00:40:26 |
And i said, Michael drove himself? |
| 00:40:28 |
And he said, yeah, me and Michael went shopping. |
| 00:40:30 |
With Ryan's death, it's, it's very, very hard. |
| 00:40:34 |
I have formed the Ryan White Foundation |
| 00:40:37 |
dealing with adolescents, |
| 00:40:39 |
dealing with all kinds of adolescents |
| 00:40:42 |
whether you don't have AIDs, |
| 00:40:43 |
whether your parents had AIDs, |
| 00:40:44 |
whether your siblings have AIDs. |
| 00:40:46 |
So i keep active doing the things |
| 00:40:49 |
that Ryan was doing and educating |
| 00:42:03 |
Perhaps more than any other icon |
| 00:42:06 |
Michael Jackson remains a charismatic |
| 00:42:09 |
but elusive figure of heated debate, |
| 00:42:12 |
but one fact will forever remain undisputed, |
| 00:42:15 |
his extraordinary talent for |
| 00:42:19 |
Loved by millions. |
| 00:42:21 |
And despite set backs that would |
| 00:42:25 |
Michael Jackson's legion of fans remain |
| 00:42:27 |
as loyal today as they've ever been. |
| 00:42:32 |
His accomplishments as the |
| 00:42:35 |
will always remain some of the |
