Dean Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Always read mixed things about him. Didn't the majority of the Jackson kids hold him in high regard, but it was only Michael who 'rebelled' against him? Fuck knows, but going by what Michael said, his father did not allow him a happy childhood at all. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you guys. He was said to be a very abuser father to his kids, so he's dead. Whatever! Like my brother says, "everyone dies" move on. I honestly don't care that his dead. I just wish Michael was alive to have seen him die. I'm sure his other kids are okay with it. 2 hours ago, Dean said: Always read mixed things about him.

I doubt he had any talent to sing or dance, just to push his kids into shit they probably didn't want to do 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fashionista Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I don't condone child abuse, having been a victim of it by my father, but at the same time, without Joe Jackson being as abusive we might never have had MJ, for both good and bad. I believe a lot of great art comes from the most pained souls and I cannot help but feel if MJ had had a normal childhood, and wasn't subject to the hideous abuse and isolation he endured, we wouldn't have some of the most beautiful music ever made. So thank you, and damn you, Joe Jackson. He is in God's hands now and he will be judged for loving money over his own children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 89? I never feel sorry for someone dying past 70, that's like a miracle. However, I am happy this man is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The MJ Estate released this statement "We are deeply saddened by Mr. Jackson's passing and extend our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Katherine Jackson and the family. Joe was a strong man who acknowledged his own imperfections and heroically delivered his sons and daughters from the steel mills of Gary, Indiana to worldwide pop superstardom.Mr. Jackson's contributions to the history of music are enormous. They were acknowledged by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002 in a proclamation naming him as Best Entertainment Manager of All Time; he was inducted into Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2014 and his son Michael acknowledged him with a Joe Jackson Day at Neverland. We had developed a warm relationship with Joe in recent years and will miss him tremendously." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Joe Jackson, the best case for beating the fuck out of your kids If you go through the history of famous people the bigger the pasting they got as a kid the better they turned out, Steve McQueen, Brando, Marvin Gaye. You don’t get Marlon Brandos from time outs and positive reinforcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His younger brother Randy probably had a similar childhood and he should have been making quality stuff too then instead of being a judge on a crappy talent show.

DieselDaisy Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I was reading an article on this. They're a crazy family. the Jacksons. La Toya said he abused the sisters. Rebbie said he didn't and La Toya is speaking bollocks, only to do a volte-face. La Toya then says he was a loving dad, upon news of his death! You mourn the passing of your sexual abuser? None of the Jacksons visited him on his deathbed but Janet and one of the grandchildren. He used to call himself ''The Hawk'' for his ability to ensnare you girls - he was having affairs when the Jackson Five were playing the chitlin circuit. Joe and Katherine remained married but lived separately for decades. Jehovah's Witnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
