As stated by singer, Jerry Butler, in his 1969 hit song, "Only The Strong Survive", you got to be man and you got to take because only the survive, but in Michael Jackson's case every word of it was true. Michael was a true survivor in every way possible having to deal with two child molestation allegations made against, two failed marriages and his some of the members of his family and their irrational jealousies towards him. Michael's has been pushed and kicked around so many times I can't even keep track.
The media spent most of their time trying underestimate; as well, as undermine him in every way possible, but Michael always manged to picked himself and get back in the race. I think about the time when he was the subject of older brother, Jermaine's rant, "A Word To The Badd", due to a disagreement they had, and he was upset with him that he nearly evicted him and his family from Hayvnhurst if their mother hadn't intervened. I think the other things that made Michael the man that he was especially when his father had an affair with Cheryl Tarrell, which resulted in the birth of his estranged half-sister, Joh'Vonnie, who stated in an interview that she tried to reach to Michael at family gathering at Neverland ranch back in 2003, but was deeply hurt when he rejected her, for the reason she was the product of the affair between her mother and their father. As we all know, Michael wasn't a weakling he was just a person who could be pushed so far and he had fight back just the situation with the Arvizo family, who tried to shake him by way of blackmail and extortion.
Michael was one of the kindest people you would want to meet, and get know; however, the media kept focusing on the negative aspects of his private and personal life rather than the positive aspects of his private and personal life, and it's a doggone shame. The media most of their lives bullying him for whatever reason they could think of whether it's his love life, paternity of his children,
or who he's sleeping with. Like a true survivor, Michael hung in there.

TMZ has learned Dr. Conrad Murray may have saved a life this morning ... 30,000 feet above the ground.
Sources tell TMZ Murray was on a US Air flight from Houston to Phoenix when a flight attendant came over the loudspeaker and asked if there was a doctor on board.
Turns out a passenger fainted and could not be revived. We're told Murray jumped out of his seat, evaluated the female passenger (who was in her 20s and traveling with a baby), and quickly noticed she had a "very weak pulse."
Somehow -- don't ask us -- Murray inserted an IV and was able to stabilize the passenger until the plane made an emergency landing in Albuquerque.
The passenger was taken for further treatment. Her condition is not known.

Dr. Conrad Murray has fans ... with whipped cream on top.
Murray -- who's due in court next month in the Michael Jackson manslaughter case -- was corralled by a fan Wednesday at a Houston Starbucks.
She gave us the pic but asked us to blur her face.
It's all about taking precautions.

Lisa Marie Presley's desperate plea for fans to bring more flowers to Michael Jackson's tomb must have fallen on deaf ears -- because as of today the entrance to the tomb was pretty bare.
Michael Jackson's ex-wife complained about too much "empty space" around the singer's tomb on her MySpace page yesterday -- and urged fans to fill the void with lots of sunflowers ... but obviously that didn't happen.
Fans have since fired back, claiming they've been faithfully doing their part flowers-wise since MJ died last year.

Dr. Arnold Klein's office manager -- who claims he was Michael Jackson's lover -- is facing such intense death threats that he's moving from place to place ... hiding out from angry MJ fans.
A source close to Dr. Klein and Jason Pfeiffer tells TMZ incensed Jackson fans have walked right up to Pfeiffer's home and knocked on his door -- and they've also tracked him down at his friends' houses.
Since Jason went public last week with allegations of an affair with Michael, we're told violent and homophobic threats have poured into Dr. Klein's office by phone, fax, and email. According to the source one voicemail said, "I'm gonna put a bullet in your heads."
Klein and Pfeiffer have hired bodyguards, and reported the threats to the FBI. We're told Pfeiffer is currently at a private location with friends.

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
The loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of a moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
!THESE LYRICS ARE COMPLETELY CORRECT!

The Michael Jackson estate just laid the smack down on a bunch of Michael Jackson wannabes -- all over access to Neverland.
The wannabes are actually in a Michael Jackson tribute band named "Neverland" -- a name the MJ estate feels is a violation of its trademark.
Long story short -- the MJ estate wrote a scary legal letter demanding the band change its name ... and it did ... to Foreverland.
Here's the catch -- "Foreverland" still owns the rights to the domain name neverlandsf.com -- and its willing to give it back to Camp Jackson ... for a cool $30,000.
In short, the Jackson estate told the band to "beat it" -- and gave them until February 2011 to begin forwarding all web traffic to the new foreverlandsf.com ... or else.
The band tells us they're currently going over their options.
"Lawyers from the Jackson estate have forced us to change our name."
