I dont know if you' ve read it,but i thnk its hilarious!Michael was staying at my place on Dobney and was happy to come along.He really respected Burt but wondered as we all did what made him tick.Burt had ordered a bottle of xpensive french red wine,which he,carole and i were drinking.Michael never drank but that night he got interested in wine.unbelievably,he didnt even know what wine was."whats it made of?"he asked me. "grapes",i said."i like grapes,"said michael,"i think i ll try some". So we poured michael a glass and he drank it. He obviously liked it coz he drank another one. We were drinking 1982 pomerol,that tasted like candy,so he was bound to like it.By this time,we all had a glass oder two and the bottle was finished.so Burt ordered a 2nd bottle. This time,michael drank virtualy the whole bottle. He had really acquired a taste for wine,fine wine at that and was guzzling the stuff down.so we ordered a third one and mike drank most of it as well. Thats when i knew we were going to have a problem that night. That evening came to an end and i drove him back to my place. He was understandably happy. Infact,he was flying high,very high. He was Singen I WANT TO BE WHERE Du ARE and NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE. Then he started Singen Mehr of his songs like Ben. He was giggling all the time. "you re in trouble",he said."im going to tell joseph what Du did". I wasnt taking the bait."i didnt do it,you did.",i said. It took us a few Minuten to get to my place. The Minute i parked,and opened the door 4 him,michael leaned out and threw up all over the place. He spent the rest of the night hanging over the toilet. He was sick as a dog. I was up all night with him. He kept saying" im going to tell Joe Du corrupted me". I was kinda worried he would,but he never did.
some examples:
Why the finger tapes??
Michael Beardon (Musical Director of This Is It) has to answer:
"I asked him one day" MJ why Du have this tape in your hands? "I always wanted to know, and I could ask him personally afterwards. If Du can ask someone like Michael need something, what would Du ask him?
And so great was Michael, he has replied to me.
"You want to really know you?" The tape around his fingers, he said, well, that feels good. And Du see it, the white tape, your eyes follow him automatically. This is one of the show-biz things he learned when he was a child.
