Now, on to business… We’ve talked about royalty on our show, we’ve talked about people being the “greatest of all time” at their particular craft, but it’s hard to deny that Michael Jackson earned his title as the “King of Pop”. MJ dominated the airwaves from the time he was a kid in the Jackson 5, to creating some of the most recognizable hits in his solo career. While his music and dancing inspired generations to come, there was a lot, and I mean a lot, of off-stage behavior that had people asking a lot of questions. And some of those people were the police. Did MJ get a fair shake in all this, after seemingly being guilty in the court of public opinion? How did his childhood play into his odd behavior? And what did that room smell like when Michael caught his hair on fire? We’ll dive into this and more in the Michael Jackson episode of AHC Podcast.
