Surviving ‘Leaving Neverland’: Muting Michael Jackson Won’t Be Easy (Pearl Jr)
Listen now
Description
The Jan. 3 debut of the Lifetime docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly” dealt a swift blow to R. Kelly’s career. One week after the premiere of the incendiary exposé covering longstanding sexual abuse allegations against him and uncovering new ones, several WELL-KNOWN celebrities cemented his persona non grata status by joining Team #MuteRKelly. So what do we do now with arguably the biggest R. Kelly superstar summit of all: “You Are Not Alone,” the 1995 number-one single he wrote and co-produced for Michael Jackson? Lets asks Pearl, Jr. Several folks speculate that Michael Jackson, who died in 2009 at age 50, could be on the verge of becoming the next superstar to be TAINTED following the Sundance premiere of another legacy-mangling documentary/exposé about a music legend. “Leaving Neverland” makes a new case for the old child molestation allegations against Jackson, and it screened to a standing ovation and unanimous praise. But even in a #MeToo era that increasingly blurs the line between art and personal life, can we just obliterate the Michael Jackson memories that helped define the best years of our lives? Again, lets ask Pearl Jr.
