   I didn;'t think he had the authority to make a decision like this. For
example, in his latest single release with one of his brothers (Jermaine)
he expressly said that Arista could release the single but he was outvoted.
It seems that the Jackson family votes on these things.
   Now, about his money. Considering what he makes, perhaps it will lower
his tax liability, or he is approaching a negative marginal utility for
more money.  If it is indeed true that he is giving millions to charity,
more power to him.
   It was really never him  I object to; it is the management of him like
a property rather than a human being.  In my opinion, I think that MJ should
tell the whole crew to blow, and take his millions and manage his own
affairs.  It is really assinine to have the entire mess of problems with
the various promoters, especially when most of the venues have infinitely
more experience with ticket sales, crowd control, and so on. Or is puttin
on a NFL football game a trivial task compared to handling Michael Jackson
's concert?

    Humpy Wheeler should have had him at the Charlotte Motor speedway...
