Title: Re: Joe Jackson R. I. P. Post by: JK on July 04, 2018, 06:37:02 AM I was shocked when I first saw the topic title--was this about the guy who did "Steppin' Out" and other fine choons?
Phew, that's a relief... Title: Re: Joe Jackson R. I. P. Post by: Buckethead on July 04, 2018, 06:45:20 AM Were they his versions of One Step Two Step?

Post by: Buckethead on July 04, 2018, 09:45:10 AM Goodness, yes! I just now had my morning coffee! It's been a hellish first two weeks at my new job. Thank you for the correction.

Title: Re: Joe Jackson R. I. P. Post by: Buckethead on July 07, 2018, 04:12:26 AM Yeah, as a mother, I've made mistakes, as all parents do. Then there are the ongoing "mistakes" that kill children's souls and sense of security and belonging in the world. I'm sure that if we dug deep enough, as with John Cowsill's father, we would find the root causes of his cruelty to the the innocent, souls who depend on their parents for love and safety. On the other hand, there are countless parents who, instead of becoming the abuser in order to feel more powerful after having been abused, choose otherwise. IMO, there is no excuse for the former and the wives who are complicit by standing by.
