Michael Jackson Needs To Salvage Tarnished Image

Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times provided commentary on Michael Jackson and his racism charge against Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola for his album woes. “Jackson needs to take swift action to salvage what is left of his tarnished image,” Hilburn writes. “There is a tendency to still think of him as the youthful boy of those wonderful Thriller videos and Jackson 5 records. But Jackson is 43. It’s time for him to grow up and take responsibility for his actions. Jackson could start by apologizing to Mottola, his fans and all the struggling black artists whose music helped inspire him.”
