No Rock And Roll Fun

LOOKING FORWARD TO A POSITIVE RESULT: Connections to mjjsource.com are currently being refused, so we've not been able to inspect Michael Jackson's plea for a fair trial first hand [it is available through the BBC News Player, though] - oddly for a man whose defence team has spent much of the last year trying to ensure that evidence doesn't make it into court, he seems happily convinced that he will be "acquitted and vindicated when the truth is told", which might be kind of tricky. It could be that Jackson is innocent - and proven to be - of child abuse, but that won't actually be the same thing as a vindication: after all, he brought this on himself by inviting Martin Bashir in for a chin-wag and blithely babbling on about having small boys in his bedroom. The court is going to decide if Jackson has broken a law or not; but it's too late to save his reputation.
