To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Thriller, Ebony magazine slapped Michael Jackson on their December cover and somehow managed to get him into the middle of Brooklyn for a photo shoot at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.

Top of the list in any conversation about Michael Jackson is sure to include all the freakish things he’s done to himself, surrounded himself by, and has allegedly done to others. For a couple of years Michael Jackson was every comedian’s softball joke. Easy laughs.

In the magazine interview Michael Jackson was asked how he feels about being labeled as ‘Wacko Jacko,’ Elizabeth Taylor, kid toucher, *pointing at a crushed Twinkie on the floor* “Hey, what’s that!?” .. What’s what?.. “Nothing, I thought it was your nose.”

Michael, comment?...

“I don’t pay attention to that. In my opinion, it’s ignorance. It’s usually not based on fact. … Every neighborhood has the guy who you don’t see, so you gossip about him. You see those stories about him, there’s the myth that he did this or he did that. People are crazy!

When you’re on top of your game, when you’re a pioneer, people come at you. … But I feel grateful, all those record-breaking things, to the biggest albums, to those No. 1s, I still feel grateful.”

It was so good to see Michael on the cover of Ebony. I think this came a full circle in his life. He began with the black community and tried to spend his remaining time with the black community. I hope most black see that play in the devils house can be dangerous!! Keep hope alive for our community, stay black!!!!
