Why is it crazier when madly wealthy and wildly creative to to have a sequined wardrobe that you design yourself and and have made than to wear the identical hand-made suit as every other multi millionaire?

Pee Wee Herman didn't show up in court in full Pee Wee gear. Elton John doesn't show up in court as the Piano Man.

One of the things I look for in an adult is the ability to change behavior so that it is appropriate to the context. Jackson hasn't shown that ability.

And lots of even un-famous people with big families only hang out with family.

Sure. But Jackson is in fact famously estranged from most of his family and hangs out primarily with his entourage.

Who do you want to defend next? Howard Hughes? Elvis?

Jackson behaves weirdly. There are many, many public attested instances of his weird behavior; the baby hung out the window, the repeated plastic surgery, the defense of sleeping with children *while under suspicion of child molestation*, the adoration of Peter Pan, the veils he places on his other children in public.

That doesn't make him a pedophile. But he has earned the weirdo title fair and square by his own efforts, just like Farrah Fawcett and Crispin Glover.

Farrah Fawcett is a weirdo?

I'm a terrible person. Because I saw him on the news and talked to the screen and said "Michael, cut your hair and buy a suit. You're a defendant now. That's what defendants DO!" Who has more crazyhead points?

Dude tommy, where you been?

Yes, this. I am a freak, by most people's definitions. And I know when things are appropriate and when they aren't.

Her last few appearances on talk shows have been bizarrely disconnected from reality. She freaked out Letterman, which takes some doing.

Was she weird back in the '70s? Because I was too young to be paying attention then (although I did know she was married to the Six Million Dollar Man).

No.

Wait, maybe I do....

OH yeah, I forgot about that. (Heard about it, didn't see it.)

She wasn't weird that we know of back in the 70s. But honestly, it was the 70s. Judgement on almost anything is questionable from the whole decade.

If you weren't weird during the '70s, you had the wrong friends.
