Well, I am well over 30 and I still don't drive. Michael can drive but he just isn't a good driver.

I'm 19 and can't drive. A lot of my friends think it's weird but I've never had alot of time to learn and I'm kinda nervous about it too neutral


well im 21 years old.. and do not offically have my drivers licesence... and its like my mom, nor my sister wants to really teach me how to drive... they get soooo scared.... and my family babies me too much.... so i probably won't even really know how to drive well until after i graduate...

An assistant's experience with Michael Jackson

My Brush With Badness

Sunday, October 07, 2007

A few weeks ago, I was at a staff meeting for new employees where everyone in the room was asked to mention one interesting thing about themselves that nobody else would know. I waited patiently 'til my turn came around, and then calmly explained how Michael Jackson once sent me to J.C. Penney to buy him underwear.

Just the first lines made me falloff Thank you soooo much for this. I love reading Mj stories and this one was hilarious.

Bboy, was it your personal experience, or is it someone else´s?

BTW, what is an INK PIN?

This was Rob Disner's story. He was the one who put For All Time, Monkey Business, If You Don't Love Me, and Serious Effect on the internet back in 2002

An ink 'pin' is a spelling error by MJ because he doesn't know how to spell 'pen'. biggrin

Do you think his bad spelling (it's a well known fact he is a very bad speller) and the fact that he can't drive properly go hand in hand? Probably he has very bad eye sight and he has never bother to get an eye test.

Back in 1989, I was a fresh-faced college grad in Los Angeles searching for my first job. Since I was one of the six people that year who actually went to college just to learn how to work in a recording studio, I had no problem landing a position at one of the major studios in Hollywood. Of course, even with an expensive college degree, you couldn't just expect to start off working with bands inside the building, because that required actual EXPERIENCE, which of course was what everyone else was out getting while I was pursuing my worthless degree.

Instead, they stuck me out in the parking shack across the street for two months. Strangely enough, I had some experience in this area, as I had spent the summer working as a valet in a garage near Fenway Park.





I've lifted my personal ban on MJ thread participation this once. Cool story. thumbs up!
Not just the MJ part, but the reality of a path one may have to take to actually get from the class room to the control room.

hmmm Lemme guess.
Based on the parking lot they had him in (next to the very fine book store, Opamp Technical Books), and proximity (1032 & 1033), his first "studio gig" was at the Record Plant on N.Sycamore?

Maybe all those sunglasses damaged his vision lol

Nah, I don't know really. I remember Janet saying the same thing [that Michael can't drive]. Its cute, lol.

I don´t wanna start a new thread about this, but Mike send a personal message to all his fans. You can read it here.
