GUTTERSWIPES: Clash and MJ

January 18, 2004 by Tim Riley

MORE TITLES FOR JIMMY’S SANDINISTA PROJECT:

1) BLANDINISTA

2) GO STRAIGHT TO HELL BOYS

3) LET THEM SING IT FOR YOU



HEADLINES: MJ PLEADS INNOCENT (New York Times)

MY EDIT: IF YOU WERE A GLOBAL POP STAR CHARGED WITH CHILD MOLESTATION, WOULD YOU SHOW UP 15 MINUTES LATE BLARING YOUR OWN MUSIC FROM YOUR VAN TO YOUR BUSED-IN FANS AND BLAME THE TARDINESS ON YOUR SELF-ORCHESTRATED CIRCUS?



Even on 60 MINUTES, Ed Bradley asked him if he thought it was still all right to sleep with underage boys in the same bed, MJ replied “Of course.” His lawyers have got to be telling him this is an absurd way to conduct a PR campaign. I can picture a jury finding against simply for saying that even if there’s reasonable doubt around this particular case. But like you, I look forward to WALLOWING in coverage.
