I have 2 questions.
MJ swore that he underwent only a single cosmetic procedure in his life--it was on his nose and for medical reasons. (Right. Making your nostrils smaller allows you to breathe easier. That's why they sell those adhesive strips to constrict your nostrils. He attributed all other facial changes to puberty--sure, lots of kids get a chin dimple after going through puberty. By the way, one plastic surgeon alone has 60 procedures on his records for MJ.)
My point is: If the man was that delusional or that much of a liar, why should we have believed anything else he claimed (about more serious issues)?
How did a man who so clearly rejected his blackness remain a hero to blacks?

From what I know about Jocko, which without even trying is far more than I ever wanted, he was more fucked up than Howard Hughes & Elvis put together. Ironic that he should pen a song called "Man in the Mirror". God knows what he saw when he looked at himself. It might be interesting from a social/cultural view to observe and document how much revenue will be generated by the industry now being mobilized to capitalize on his life and death. As with Elvis, even his mailman wrote a book.
