I also refuse to believe that Janet didn't know the story of Tito and the broken guitar string
And speaking of Joseph, all I'd ever heard over the years was how hard he was, how strict he was, maybe even how much of a tyrant he was [[I understand Michael was terrified of him his whole life)
Was this was more: Joe Jackson had a vison, he did the right thing, look what came out of it, etc.
Revisionist history, or, as my girlfriend says, simply seeing the 'strictness' from an adult perspective and not a child's?
Weird they mentioned Fame and not Diff'rent Strokes
I somehow missed the secret baby rumors. this was my first time hearing about them. Weight gain might people think you're 4 months pregnant but Janet didn't gain nearly enough to look like she was 9 months pregnant
An aside, I remember reading an article years ago, saying that while everyone loves the Rhythm Nation album it really should be talked about and revered the same way What's Going On is and for whatever reason it isn't
Looking forward to Part 2 later this week
