So I'm DJ'ing a wedding last nigh and had probably 10-12 people come ask me for an MJ song, which of course I was expecting. It seems ever since he got into his legal troubles, EVERY time I play one of his songs, I get someone who complains about it, whatever, you can't please everyone. So a few years back, I made a Michael Jackson Medley on the computer, 6 1/2 minutes long, 12 different hits mixed in, it's a freakin' awesome tune and always goes over huge on the floor.
So I'm thinking that especially now, someone is gonna get upset if I play it, but of course the masses want it so I do. The dance floor erupts to twice the amount of what I normally had on the floor which was stellar all night anyway, I mean people are screaming, hands in the air, just balls to the walls dancing.
At this point I'm on the dance floor in front of my equipment and a dude comes up to me, respectable guy, career firefighter, works with the groom who's father is the fire chief. He starts telling me to stop the song cause MJ is a child molester, I came back with, "he's never been convicted" to which he then calls me a child molester too and a "pickle licker." This goes on for 5-7 minutes, him screaming at me, me ignoring him. About a half hour later, I just had to check, as it was bugging me. I open the door to the parking lot, and he's standing right there and says to me, "dude, we gotta talk, I owe you money." My reply was, "just please say you didn't do my truck, I just put $900 worth of tires on there", to which he replied, "no, I slashed the tires on your trailer." So, very long story short, the dude apologizes up one side and down the other, explains how this is not his typical behavior and goes to his house, takes the tires off his trailer and replaced my now flat ones. Then this morning goes to the store, buys two brand new tires and rims, comes to my warehouse and changes the tires/rims out on my trailer and takes his back.
I'm sure being a career public servant, he knew he could get his ass in a heap load of trouble if I'd pressed charges, but he was sincerely apologetic and remorseful so I let it lie.
Freakin' Michael Jackson, still causing problems from the grave. :dunno:
