Joseph Jackson - działalność

[anialim]

Joseph zakłada fundację, która będzie m.in. budować w Gary muzeum i inne cuda:

Dear Friends,
I want to personally thank all of you for your incredible support during these challenging times. Katherine and I as well as the entire Jackson Family have been deeply touched by the outpouring of your love and sincerely appreciate all your concerns.
Everywhere I go I am greeted with kindness and words of comfort which do mean much to me. For over four decades the Jackson Family has brought captivating and moving music to the world and we count it a special privilege to have been a part in making that possible.
Prior to Michael's passing, I visited the place where it all started; Gary, Indiana. Life was tough back in the early 1960's and Katherine and I did the best we could in raising 9 terrific children. We are extremely proud of all our children -- from the successes as a group with The Jackson Five with Jermaine, Marlon, Jackie, Tito and Michael and later The Jacksons with Randy to the individual successes of Rebbie, LaToya and Janet ; all have made an impact on the world of music and the world at large in their own unique way.
Over the years as the family developed and had so many successes, I have thought about building a permanent place where Jackson Family fans and friends alike could visit and learn about the story behind the headlines. Michael’s untimely passing has made such a tribute even more imperative. While being extremely talented, Michael was unique in a variety of ways, especially when it came to having a big heart. If Michael taught us anything, it was the importance of each one of us taking the opportunity to make a difference in the world, of giving to others and... making the world a better place.
So, with the encouragement and urging of friends and supporters Katherine and I have joined together to form the Jackson Family Foundation, a not for profit organization, which will head the development of the Jackson Family Museum and Cultural Center to be built in the birthplace of the Jackson musical family; Gary, Indiana as both a memorial to Michael and a tribute to the entire Jackson Family. The Jackson Family Foundation, as well, will support charitable cultural, social and educational projects.
The Honorable Rudy Clay, Mayor of Gary has generously offered 10 acres of prime city land and a multitude of financial incentives to make the project a reality. I have appointed by longtime friend and associate, Mr. Simon Sahouri, publisher of LVH Magazine, to serve as Vice Chairman and President of the Jackson Family Foundation and to head the building project and capital campaign with the assistance of a professional fundraising group, Seven & Company, LLC. I have asked our beautiful granddaughter, Stevanna Jackson, who, by the way, is a student at Harvard University, to also sit on the board of directors ensuring the next generation of Jackson's are well represented.
Our goal is to build a truly memorable place where friends and fans alike can learn about the history of the Jackson Family, honor all the members of the Jackson Family and remember and carry on the legacy of Michael. But, most of all, this will be a place for you -- the fans -- to visit, to learn, to share and to remember what the music of the Jackson Family has meant to you.
I have assembled a strong team of developers, financiers, consultants and advisors to make the Jackson Family Museum and Cultural Center a reality for all of us, and sincerely appreciate your input and ideas and welcome your support and participation.
Thank you and God Bless,
Joe Jackson

JOE JACKSON'S ATTORNEY ON PROBATION

MICHAEL JACKSON's father JOE JACKSON has suffered another setback in his bid to receive a monthly stipend from his son’s estate - his attorney's law license has been placed on probation for two years.
Long-serving Jackson legal eagle Brian Oxman has been disciplined by California Supreme Court for failing to drop a 2002 federal lawsuit and ignoring an order to pay sanctions imposed against him.
He'll continue to represent Joe Jackson but Oxman's license could be suspended if he upsets lawmakers and regulators again.
The Jackson family patriarch has argued he should receive more than $15,000 (GBP9,400)-a-month. A hearing on his petition is scheduled for next month.

Michael Jackson's Dad Wants Medical Records
Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, has subpoenaed medical and other records from the UCLA Medical Center because he believes the records could reveal evidence of foul play in Jackson's death -- and the subpoena has outraged MJ estate lawyers ... TMZ has learned. Joe's lawyer, Brian Oxman, sent 2 subpoenas to the UCLA Medical Center -- the hospital where Michael Jackson was pronounced dead on June 25. Oxman is asking for a number of documents, including medical records, autopsy reports, autopsy photos, medications and prognosis assessments. Joe Jackson tells TMZ his entire family is behind the subpoenas -- Katherine, the brothers and sisters, along with him. He says they all believe the medical records will show what was in Jackson's body when he passed and they believe the information will expose foul play. We've obtained a letter sent to Oxman by estate lawyer Howard Weitzman, in which Weitzman calls the subpoenas "clearly improper." Weitzman claims the subpoenas violate Jackson's right of privacy and the physician/patient privilege. Weitzman also says the subpoenas are irrelevant to Joe Jackson's only legal claim -- a financial allowance.

Joe odsłonił pomnik...

Przedwczoraj Joe dokonał odsłonięcia pomnika poświęconego Michaelowi pod rodzinnym domem Jacksonów. Jest to ten sam pomnik, który stanął w Gary już w lipcu 2009 roku, ale teraz Joe kazał go przenieść pod 2300 Jackson Street i postanowił ponownie odsłonić.

Odsłonięcie:


Przód i tył pomnika:


Oraz jego najciekawszy element:


Czyli w powiększeniu:

[Michaelka111]

Nie wierzę.
To jakiś żart, prawda?
Nie wiem, czy to niedopatrzenie, czy niedbalstwo. Jak można pomylić własnego syna z naśladowcą.
Joseph, trochę rozsądku.

[amj]

I jeszcze ten uśmiech Joe na pierwszym miejscu ;D E'Casanova musi mieć z tego wszystkiego niezły ubaw
Chciałbym zobaczyć minę Josepha jak się o tym dowie
Kiedyś musi.
Na tylnej stronie pomniku, największe zdjęcie zrobione literami, że się tak wyrażę, jest takie samo jak avatar pewnej z forumowiczek.

P.S.Wie ktoś może jaki jest tekst z tyłu pomniku?

[anialim]

Joe odsłonił pomnik...

ponownie odsoniła go Katherine, 25.06. Zresztą wciąż z Casem.
Ale ja nie o odsłonięciu.
Autor pomnika tak odpowiada na maile fanów:

Dear MJ Fans,

Thanks for you all to inform us about a possible error with one of the Picture on the monument that we designed for Michael. As a huge fan of Michael, I wanted to do something special for him and this monument was my way of giving some thing back to this great man and to show my love, respect, appreciation to what he has given all of us and to the world. This monument was designed and executed with in 48 hours right after his passing and there was little to no time when we did this. Just like every fan of Michael I was mourning his loss when this was designed by me and manufactured last year, I understand King of Pop deserves nothing less than a perfect tribute and I would like to pledge my heart felt apologies to every one of my fellow MJ fans if there is a mistake made.

I am in overseas at the moment, I am planning to visit Michaels Stone shortly, I am sure most of us know it is very hard to erase something that is engraved but if there is a error I will see if I can figure out a way and do my very best to fix it.

I am thankful for all fans of Michael, his family, Mayor Clay and City of Gary for showing their appreciation for our work . I never thought that this 8 feet tall 5000 pound monument donated to City of Gary by Stone Plans will be made as the official monument for Michael and Mrs.Jackson would Unveil this memorial. When some things are meant to happen it always will.

At the same note it is disheartening to read few of those hateful emails sent to us for a tribute done with true spirit, love and respect for Michael in mind. If there is a mistake in his memorial as a designer, a die hard fan of MJ it hurts me more.

I promise to do my best. We all make mistakes, To err is human but to forgive is MJ.

S.M
Stone Plans

Można prosić o tłumaczenie albo chociażby streszczenie tego maila?

- dziękują za info o możliwym błędzie w jednym zdjęciu, które umieszczono w pomniku
- wykonawca (wielki fan MJa) chciał zrobić coś wielkiego dla MJa w podzięce za wszystko, co MJ dał światu
- projekt pomnika powstał w 48 godzin po 25.06.2009, więc nie było na to wiele czasu
- bardzo więc przeprasza każdego kolegę fana, jeśli popełnił błąd
- wykonawcy pomnika nie ma w tej chwili w kraju, ale jak tylko wróci sprawdzi, jak można usunąć to zdjęcie (co podobno wcale nie jest rzeczą prostą)
- dziękuje wszystkim i jednocześnie jest mu smutno z powodu pełnych nienawiści maili, jakie dostał - zapewnia, że jeżeli na pomniku jest błąd autorstwa projektanta, sam jako fan również cierpi
- obiecuje, że zrobi co może, "błądzić jest rzeczą ludzką, wybaczać - MJową"

Czyli autor płyty po prostu ściągnął najlepsze zdjęcia z internetu? Hm, a myślałam, że na publiczne wykorzystanie wizerunku gwiazdy trzeba mieć pozwolenie od autora tychże fotografii, czyż nie?
Fotograf E'Casanovy chyba zdawał sobie sprawę robiąc mu zdjęcia, że jest on tylko sobowtórem Michaela. Wątpię, żeby zrezygnował z poinformowania zainteresowanego.

Papa Joe wybiera się na tegoroczny Festiwal Filmowy w Cannes, o czym poinformował na swojej stronie internetowej. Przy tejże okazji, na zapowiadanej na 17 maja konferencji prasowej zaprezentuje wybranej publiczności fragmenty autobiograficznego musicalu oraz scenariusz filmu o roboczym tytule "Was it All Worth while".
A, no i zaprezentuje nowe produkty firmowane swoim nazwiskiem:
Jackson Legend Perfume by Julian Rouas, Jackson Champagne by UD Group, and the Joe Jackson Vodka by Jewellines.

[anialim]

Nie wiem czy będę chciała to obejrzeć.. na samych zdjęciach odrzuca mnie jego twarz, twarz człowieka, który tak bardzo skrzywdził swojego syna, naszego idola. Z drugiej strony ciekawa jestem co powiedział.. Nie wiem jak Wy, ja nie obejrzę i poczekam na Wasze opinie.

[yourlovelystar]

o kurcze.. a to "niespodzianka". za mało mu jeszcze pieniędzy? :|
Pewnie jak wielu fanów nie mam pozytywnego nastawienia w stosunku do niego. Zresztą- to nie dziwne. Do kina na pewno się na to nie wybiorę- bo nie mam zamiaru pomagać mu w zdobywaniu fortuny kosztem rodziny, a jak podejrzewam w szczególności Michaela. Chociaż, nie powiem, ale z czystej ciekawości pewnie kiedyś obejrzę.
