This interview just reiterates one thing: Joe is a leech, an ass, & an illiterate fool. It didn't help that his "buddy" Leonard Rowe both sounded like backwards, country ass fools. I'm sorry but I just have to be honest. This is such an embarrassment to black people. RIP MJ.

Sing it sister! I thought it was a sad spectacle. Larry King wasn't his usual probative self, Joe Jackson was incoherent and stopped at one time to play with a cell phone in his pocket which befuddled Larry King so much he had to take a commercial break. Then that Rowe fellow seemed a nitwit. Man, what a cast of clowns that surrounded MJ, who is as much a victim of his entourage as was Anna Nicole Smith and Elvis Presley. It was so pitiful that I kept asking my wife to change the channel, but like someone watching body parts being shoveled into a bag at the site of a plane crash, she was mesmerized by the horror.

It would be (possibly) water under the bridge if he owned up to what he did. But he still reaches out to the media and acts like he's such a good father. BS!
He's an ass
a hypocrite
a liar
a child abuser
I don't care if he's an old man now. He's an old man who is still a jackass.
I don't think any of the children have let by gones be by gones. They just can't shut the old man up.
As for disrespect--respect is earned. he's done nothing that I'm aware of to be talked of or treated with respect. Just because he's anyone's father doesn't give him a pass.
I do ignore his sorry ass.

And we should try not to disrespect Mr. Jackson because I know Michael wouldn't want us to. The best thing we could do is ignore him.
When I hear the name "Joe Jackson" I immediately think of "Shoeless Joe Jackson" of the Chicago Black Sox scandal in 1920. Not that I am that old but I'm a baseball trivia buff and I refuse to let a monster like MJ's father interfere with that.
I don't know what's up with Larry King but his interviewing style is wimpy. He used to be pretty good, though.
I watched the recap of LK's interview with Joe Jackson last night. Larry had two guests on tonight that refuted both Jackson and Rowe. One guest told Larry he could see how frustrated Larry was during the interview (as mentioned by PP). One pointed out (can't remember exact words) that maybe Larry gave Joe and Rowe enough rope to hang themselves. Rowe is a complete low life. He is not concert promoter and Michael wanted nothing to do with either Rowe or his father regarding the "This is It" concerts. Apparently, Rowe called the one guest asking that he and Joe have some in the concert. The concert promotors (AEG?) contradicted the statements Rowe made that Michael was being manipulated. The movie based on the 100 hours of taped rehearsal footage will document that Michael was totally involved in every aspect of the concert. It will be released in October. Very good interview tonight.

I watched the interview as well. Each time Joe Jackson has gotten on camera since MJ's death, it just gets more and more pathetic and painful to watch. I did laugh at his 'Bull S" insert, though.
I missed this program. Anyway I can find the transcript for the show?

His father is one dirty son of a (you know...)
