Yesterday Larry King interviewed Jermaine Jackson live from the 3000 acre Neverland Ranch. The ranch was referred to by King as “The Ultimate Peace”.
Each building was completing with furnishing only fit for a king, along with an actual steam engine train, amusement park, theatre and mountain named after Jackson’s mother, Neverland Ranch appeared to be so much more than the general public can ever imagine.
President Obama was asked about his thoughts on “The King of Pop”
Via MTV news:
President Obama held a press conference on Friday (June 26), no one asked him for his reaction to the news of Michael Jackson's death on Thursday in Los Angeles. In a separate press conference, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that reporters seemed too shy to ask the president about the legendary singer — even though he is an avowed music fan — so Gibbs said that he spoke with Obama about Jackson's passing.
"I talked to [the president] about it this morning. He said to me that obviously Michael Jackson was a spectacular performer and a music icon," Gibbs said, according to Newsweek. "I think everybody remembers hearing his songs, watching him moonwalk on television during Motown's 25th anniversary. But the president also said [Jackson] had aspects of his life that were sad and tragic. And his condolences went out to the Jackson family and to the fans that mourned his loss."
The President also mentioned having all of Jackson’s Music in his ipod!
