The BET Award show salute to Michael Jackson may be a wrap but the press continues to pounce on patriarch Joe Jackson for sullying the occasion with shameless self promotion. In his first public appearance since the King of Pop’s passing, Jackson plugged his new Blu ray record venture following an unemotional expression of grief for the “Superstar's” loss. Dark glasses, however, didn't shield the dollar signs permanently plastered in the elder Jackson’s eyes.
Papa Jackson’s bravado bled red like ink through a bright white shirt pocket in the repeated sound clip. Far from crestfallen, an upbeat Joe appeared to be yet another ranch hand tugging desperately at the cash cow’s udders. How inappropriately pathetic but that's Joe.
Given this crass display of character, it’s a wonder Mrs. Jackson hadn’t kicked this “blow” to Sin City's curb sooner – though still married, reportedly, Joe and Katherine haven’t lived together at the Encino, CA compound in over a decade. If the father who forbade his son to call him Daddy has been excluded from a will that has suddenly surfaced, King Michael couldn't have sealed a finer goodbye.
