I am to the point where I have to stop buying magazines because they have tributes to Mike. Sister to Sister, The Source, Essence (who don’t even have him in the cover) put out tribute magazines. They aren’t that important; Especially The Source and Sister to Sister. Essence, Why he ain’t got a cover? Very wise people agree. He just needed a friend that didn’t want anything from him and that soooooo could have been me. Ebony and Jet are the cornerstones. They will be worth something some day. I am able to look at the picture now, but not for more than 5-6 second increments. Man, someone tried to sell me tickets to the Mike Benefit in Vegas for $129 a piece. Chile, Please! I could have went to see him in London for about $170…a tribute concert full of random people, I don’t think so. Yooo, the J. Randy Taraborelli book has been republished…you know the one where he says Mike’s lips were glossed to a subtle sheen at the Motown 25th. There are updates too. Interesting, but I won’t be buying it. Someone can get it for me for my birthday though. But I won’t personally spend money on something not endorsed by Mike. The book is a good read Tells a little about Janet and James and something about Mike running around the back yard naked and something about him just walking all up in their room unannounced all not-knocking like and sitting down to talk like they wasn’t in their room being married.. But I don’t know the accuracy of the story
