Michael Jackson’s Bodyguard Tells The Truth: Matt Fiddes 

There are 100+ more episodes on Spotify & Apple, that aren’t on RU-vid 👇 PodFollow.com/DodgeWoodall

I was Michaels's limo driver a few times in 1982, NYC. One night I picked him up in a van. He was wearing a fake beard, glasses, and a fake nose, with a long coat. We went to Radio City Music Hall to see Kool And The Gang concert. Michael sat right in the middle of the audience. No one had a clue. After the concert, we walked out through the crowd, , and I thought these people have no idea they are literally brushing shoulders with Michael Jackson.

After FBI raided his house, took at all his computers, media, went thru the house with a fine tooth comb… they found NOTHING!!!!

I think Michael Jackson was the most misunderstood entertainer in the world. So very sad. 😔

Poor Mike was so misunderstood. Evil Society killed him. I knew Michael my stepdad played for the Jackson 5 back in the day in Chicago. I’m three years older than Mike. I’ve seen how strict his father was to them. It is so sad. The lies that was told on him made me sick. Rip Mike.

On behalf of a Michael Jackson lifelong fan. Thank you Matt... Just validating everything that I already know. Your friend Michael would be very proud of your honour. Rest in peace my king

How refreshing to hear the truth about Michael instead of all the media propaganda. Thank you for posting this Dodge. I wish everyone would watch it and know the real MJ

This confirms EVERYTHING that his niece & nephews have been saying for yrs!!! He was so unbelievably generous, good, & loving that it was & still is hard for people to believe that such an amazing human could exist. As a forever fan who sat upon her fathers shoulders at the age of 5 to see him perform live, Thank you for continuing to speak truth on his behalf! He will forever be the greatest entertainer of all time!!! His legacy is forever cemented in earth's history!!!

As a child living in Detroit, I witnessed the beginning of the Jackson 5, the Supremes and Little Stevie Wonder and the birth of Motown. It was an incredible time and I followed them all my life. I am gutted over how Michael's life turned out as I grew up with him.

The one thing I think he forgot to add was that Michael's bedroom was treated like a living room with friends, family, and trusted individuals. That room was so massive and it was two stories. I don't have a huge bedroom, but my room is where my friends hang out where I eat and where I watch TV , pay my bills, work, ect. It's my command center and I still would rather be in my room doing it all than anywhere else in my house and I live in a big house. I'm at ease and I can relax and feel safe and get way more done

I always felt that people were lying about MJ. Even Cauley (home alone kid) said MJ was never inappropriate to him or any kid. They killed him because he was gaining too much power and he was educating the public about the dangers of government control. A lot of his music was written about THEM. “They don’t really care 🎶 about us” 🎵

This is the guy you would hope to be on your staff to protect you.. He is so measured , safe warm and , mature at such a young age , and had so much integrity , what a kind human . Not many humans in the world like this:

This was the best interview about Michael that I’ve ever heard. Amazing.

This was a great interview. His friend erased any doubts of child molestation/abuse I had about Michael Jackson, it all makes sense now. How heartbreaking it must have been for Michael. It sounds like he truly loved and appreciated his fans 🥹❤❤

What an incredible interview and an incredible man. After watching so many documentaries drag his name through the mud it was refreshing to hear from one of his genuine friends. I think we would all feel honored and blessed to have Matt as a friend. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. I can’t believe it was 2 hours!! It is now 2:30 am here but I couldn’t stop listening!!!

10 years!!!! The best law enforcement in the world couldn’t find a single piece of evidence. Leave MJ alone.

I’m 61. I grew up with Michael and his brothers. I’ve been in heated conversations about these sex allegations. How could someone write “Will you be there” and “Man in the Mirror” and then turn around and torture children. RIP Michael Jackson. He was amazingly talented. He was crushed and alone in the end. Now every entertainer credits him for his music. If he was defended by all the phony’s and knew he was loved, maybe he would still be alive today. This was the first time I saw your program. Brilliant-You interview without shouting over the guest. I’ll be back.

I think it's extremely admiral that Matt was loyal to Michael throughout. Big love Dodge. Kindest regards, Richard U.K

The Hollywood swamp threw him under the bus. Hopefully those who did this to him will face their own crimes. He was unique, gifted and still the best in his field.

Matt has never change his story such a good friend to Mike.❤❤❤

Thank you Matt, so glad you came forward and told the real story of Michael.

I never believed the lies about Michael. In my heart I always believed in his innocence. Wades girlfriend was Michael Jackson’s niece when he was supposedly being molested , and she went on a podcast and spoke about his blatant lies because the gravy train ran out and he was looking for more. Michael was too good for this world and humans sure do have a lot of parasitic tendencies.😢 I love you forever Michael! God Bless You in Heaven❤️

Michael trusted children, because they never judged him. He didn't have a childhood, and the lack of experiences of being a child and then teenage must have traumatized him a lot. It was the adults around the children he met, that wanted to take advantage of him. And still are trying really hard to bring him down. The entire industry used Michael and he was naive. This podcast was really good ! The weasel Bashir should apologize profusely and publicly to both Michael and Princess Diana. At the end of the day, Michael's words were quoted, clipped and pasted to fit a narrative that sold mediocre tabloids. He was used and exploited. But he will always remain in the hearts of his fans and in music history, as a genius !

People think the things Michael did were weird. But he wasn’t a normal person. He didn’t live a normal life from childhood. He lost his childhood. Children were the only ones he could trust. And amazing he built Neverland for the kids!!!

I feel so vindicated!! I never believed that he was a child m**ester. I kind of grew up with him, born in 1959, and had the teen magazine centerfolds of The Jackson Five on my wall. Then just switching to Michael, along with Donny Osmond,Bobby Sherman, etc... I could see how shy he was in interviews and felt a kinship because I was very shy when I was younger. I could just tell that he was a sweet and gentle kid, and I never believed that he changed into a p*do when he grew up. I just knew that he didn't have that in him. He actually WAS a genius, with the tape and all that! I always wondered about those things too!! They really messed him up with all the accusations, and now we know that they were VULTURES wanting money!! They turned his life into a living hell. Rest in Peace Michael. I think everyone knows the truth now.

Always nice to hear Matt's dialogues and interviews. Anyone who wants to know more information about Michael can consult the podcasts called "Michael Jackson Case for Innocence", "Red Jackson Dance" (on RU-vid), "The Mjcast", and the documentaries "Square One MJ", "The Lies of Leaving Neverland”, “Michael Jackson Private Home Movies”, “Michael Jackson Take Two The Footage You Were Never Meant to See”, “Michael Jackson The Humanitarian”, The FBI files on MJ, and “Loving Neverland”. These sources of information are precious and rich in facts that the medias (especially in the UK) refuse to adequately present on him.

Sometimes when you see that the podcast is two hours long, you think you’re going to last about twenty minutes. These two hours flew by. It felt like a privilege to listen to a conversation between friends, not an interview. I personally never thought that MJ was a ‘fiddler’ as you put it 😂 due to thinking, why would any parent let their child stay at any adults house etc, however you still question the the thought process of why have them there. It was a really balanced interview of difficult questions, letting Matt answer and explain without feeling uncomfortable, all the while being able to dig deeper. Matt is the epitome of loyalty and integrity, morals that don’t appear to exist or are shown a lot these days. I really really enjoyed this episode, thank you.

Hearing this from a friend’s angle makes his death sound so much more suspicious. Especially when he says family and friends had problems and were being kept away from Michael. MJ sounds like he was a great friend and treasured his close friends and family. It’s so odd how drastically his “new” management made it all change around him to keep him isolated, how can anyone not find that really weird? Sounds like Michael had real reason to be paranoid and worry about who was around him after so many used and abused his kindness and exploited him over the stupidest things, and many of those people sound dangerously delusional in their belief that he owed them anything more than what he already did for them. They couldn’t just be grateful for that is just disgusting. So sad how he couldn’t just be himself and that people wouldn’t just let him be. People were terrible to him his whole life, but luckily he had a few that he could trust. RIP to the king MJ ❤

Thank you for this interview!And thank you for being Michael's true friend!👋😎

Before Marie Presley passed away she did another interview that was much more in depth about Michael Jackson and you could tell he was telling the truth. She was really in love with him and they did have a real relationship so you haters out there here’s the truth so what are you gonna do now, let him rest in peace

I’ve been a Michael Jackson fan for 40 yrs, I’ve seen him live twice, and I 100 % believe that he’s innocent ❤ it’s beyond comprehension how so many people thought they were entitled to Michael money and time.

Why are we still talking about exposing MJ. Do one about Epstein or the other folks. Let’s this man rest. Ugh

Michael hung with kids because he had no child life , his father was brutal with the boys practicing in the garage, he said he would look out the window and see other kids playing and it made him sad. he also loved children and having a fun time. He enjoyed seeing kids laugh and have fun, i love kids and if i had a lot of money i would spoil them also. There will never be an Artist like him again !!! RIP MJ

Possibly the greatest podcast interview ever. I could listen to Mr Fiddes all night. An incredible story, amazing insight to the legend of MJ. Matt comes across honest, knowledgeable, humble and with all he has gained in life he still has Jackos back. Thanks Dodge for asking the right questions and for possibly clearing up some huge questions on MJ.

What I wicked interview!!!! The most heartfelt and genuine story!!! ❤

Matt really seems like a true friend to Michael and a great guy!

My daughter is 9yo, approx 4 to 5 years ago , i showed her MV of Smooth Criminal. She instantly fell in love with him. MJ forever !!

Dodge I love the balance you have when asking the difficult/tricky questions but also being considerate to your guest. Nice job as always

Truly Michael is a remarkable phenomenal gifted kind-hearted human soul, suffered autoimmune illnesses and horrified accidents during stage performances, and a humanitarian charitable champion to this date. Given at least half a billion dollar to charities. Guiness book records speak for itself. Honour, value and treasure forever presence Michael. God bless you always.

Bless Michael Jackson. Matt is so refreshing to finally share his story and memories..........thank goodness. MATT WAS A DEAR FRIEND .....MANY BLESSINGS

I worked for a "removals company" in Bahrain. We moved his furniture out of his palace sized home in Bahrain in 2007 & into our storage after the family "fled" Bahrain - leaving a trail of debt. Literally Everything incl clothes, kids toys & even pets were abandoned 🥺😞.... We had access to every room - except his bedroom as the MJ security protecting the bedroom wing was insane! To my knowledge the moving bill was never settled. Disappointing - but still never believed the accusations.

One of my best mates, Gary Dunn, hung out with Michael for four days when Michael came to Perth, Western Australia, for a Telethon many years ago. He was staying at the Rendezvous Hotel in Scarborough (at beach) and Gaz and his wife took their two young daughters to try if they could see him if he came out, plus he waved from the balcony. Michael spotted them ~ I don't know why them ~ and got his bodyguard to bring them in and up to the penthouse. They clicked and got on very well straight away, so Michael invited them back for four days. Another mate, Tim Bradsmith, who designs lighting for concerts and stage shows for many famous people/groups, and he worked with Michael as his Tour Director while in Perth. Tim said how Michael secretly had several shipping containers brought in that contained thousands of toys which were secretly distributed to all the kids in Princess Margaret Childrens Hospital and various charities. Michael didn't want anyone to know he'd done that. I produce a tv show called "The Profile" where Gary interviews famous Australian musicians [ have done 126 episodes ] and Gary and Tim did interviews (Gaz didn't interview himself - lol - another of the 4 Producers - Alan Simpson- did him). I'll post the links under here as they both have great stories about Michael and said he was a really nice person. Great interview, mate! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zaDoWHbsDyQ.htmlsi=y9cPf4zN1q01G41O ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0EAoo_nZemw.htmlsi=0B5YZ6KsAvz0BNot ❤

Only just got round to finishing this. What an outstanding interview. Matt is sat there so humble, after mixing with some of the most famous people on the planet. I was and still am a fan of MJs music and to hear how he was, from someone who actually knows was fascinating. It takes a real bloke to come from nothing to what Matt has built today. Inspiring stuff.

I am so thankful to have heard this. May MJ rest in peace.

20 plus years ago I emailed Uri Geller and asked if he could call and wish my husband a happy birthday birthday. He said sure he would. To my surprise, he called.

Thank you both! Matt, you are the truest friend that Mike ever had. Unfortunately, his first security who Mike saw as a second father, his cigar-smoking manager and his lawyer, took advantage of him & secretly dipped into Mike’s wallet. But as busy as Mike was, he somehow knew & had to let people he considered “friends” go. You were faithful but AEG, Sony and others created his downward spiral; but Mike stayed strong to his game-plan and fought courageously for his children, his family, his fans, and his great love for mankind and the world-at-large. ❤Rest In Peace, Michael ❤

Very rarely do i find a channel where i can sit through every single episode without loosing interest at any point, top channel

Lol i honestly think people these days thought MJ was _famous_ but he was so much more famous than your mind can perceive. He was soooo loved across the entire world. Fellow celebs used to lose their shit around him, and thats happened for literally *NO ONE* since. The hysteria around him even up to 2009 would make Taylor swift cry. Yes MJ was that guy. Not just the most famous person that ever lived, but the most loved too. I know, i lived through it, and his fame was 10x the most famous of today.

Michael Jackson was as pure as they come. He was very sadly manipulated, tortured and then crucified from childhood over the course of 40 years in the spotlight, in which the world witnessed his abuse in real time. And now they wish to destroy his legacy for money. God is watching, I truly believe that! RIP MJ, thank you for everything you did for us 💙

I had to pause this an hour in and come back to it, never thought you could grieve twice for someone until now this episode was really powerful for me who grew up loving Michael jackson. Thank-you dodge for this episode it needs to be shared around the world 🌎

This is so refreshing to hear . The truth is so " obvious" when it is discussed i this type of format!!! Thank you!

I can't thank you enough for having this interview with Mr Fiddes. I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's pop music, and what I knew of him was through the media and what the legend wanted me to see, which went completely sideways towards the end and the outright extortion of a celebrity isn't new, but using one's child to do it (with the insurance companies supporting it) is beyond horrific. Mr. Fiddes revealed the side of Michael that I wish the world would have gotten to see and know, and one that I always wondered about. The 20th-century music industry was definitely one of product development, marketing, showmanship, and delivery - all meeting the expectations that were created with the pressures to exceed them for longevity - and Michael Jackson is a true legend. I'm thankful that Mr Fiddes shared his experiences with and introduced us to Mr Jackson. I also wanted to thank Mr Fiddes for his candor, authenticity, and genuineness. As much as I loved the discussion about Mr Jackson, I absolutely loved the conversations about his life journey, experiences, and how he approached and handled life's difficult situations. He's inspiring and is a breath of fresh air. Finally, I recently found your RU-vid channel, and I'm definitely thankful for it. All of your interviews are incredibly well done, just like with Mr. Fiddes. Your authenticity, genuineness, and great follow-up questions bring out the best in them. All the best and thank you for your channel once again.

Matt, I am sure Michael is looking down right now smiling and very thankful of what you do and your loyalty. Mind you he could’ve gotten more money by making more controversy but he chose to tell the truth and defend him. He’s an honorable man.

Thank you to your guest for speaking out for Michael Jackson... Thank you so much. I hate that everything he did in his life is clouded by that terrible label. When I hear people still accusing him... I get so frustrated and angry. I have researched with an open mind and now know that he was innocent all along. Thank you for having this guest on your show. I was angry at your questions... because it seemed like you had your mind made up...but your questions gave your guest a chance to give details and he answered with candor and honesty.

Dodge THANK YOU so much for doing that interview, you have just put MJ back in my music collection.

I always knew he was innocent because I knew Michael. Mike loved kids and not in that way, Mike would never hurt a child. He would hurt anybody who hurt a child, Mike in a way was still in a child like state, which is a good thing to be, like the Bible says, if you don't make it to Heaven as a child, then you might never make it. I too am in a somewhat similar way, only saved people know what I'm talking about. Way back when all this started, I even kept telling people, Watch!! I bet at least one of those kids will come out in the future and admit that they lied and were put up to it because that kind of guilt will haunt you forever. There definitely is a God and he definitely wont let you sleep with that on your conscience. Which is why that kids father committed suicide, which usually happens when somebody does something that heinous. Kind of like how Judus committed suicide after betraying Jesus. It's never worth it and trust me, you don't want to test it to find out because it might be too late.... R.I.P Mike, hope you're in Heaven where you belong kind gentle soul. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I feel like Michael was so full of love... He was never able to be a kid, so he held onto the childlike naivety. The things he was accused of were so far from his loving and childlike spirit that he just couldn't grasp how playing with and loving children could possibly be wrong when in his mind, it was like saying that loving with your whole heart and soul was wrong. So many people betrayed his trust and in turn essentially sold his soul for money. The fact that media portrayed him as a monster does not mean that he was one. In a world that is too often so dark, Michael was actually just a good person whose spirit gave humanity a glimpse at the hope the world really needs more of. Both Michael and Lisa Marie died much too young, leaving a huge void where there voices once were

Michael is an age old story. We build heroes and then we have to destroy them. From the beginning, Mike was an anomaly that stood out, a sacrificial lamb thrown to the wolves. The little boy became a man-child because he was frozen in time and was not allowed or able to grow up. The wolves wanted him to stay 8 years old for life. `+

Michael Jackson INNOCENT

I had a narc as a father and although I am a woman ( I feel like a child ) I knew 100 per cent, he was innocent. I am also an addict in recovery. I was an alcoholic from the moment I lifted a drink at 12. I was in AA at 16, Hospitals, Jail and multiple rehabs later, 30 years after my first drink, I had a psychic change! Sober since 8.12. 2022, Thank you Jesus! Micheal Jackson Rocked!!!

I knew Michael was NOT a bad person! I’m grateful that you came out and told your truth!🙏🏼❤️

What I ❤ about this channel and I’ve read some comments on here already, 2 hrs long … not bothered, topic… not bothered, guest… not bothered because it’s always interesting and always eye opening. And lastly Dodge what an interviewer you are, you ask the difficult questions and you are so blunt at times it makes me roll about laughing but that’s just you being you and asking the questions that pop into your head at that moment. It’s very easy to judge from afar but listening to people’s real stories it hits home. Dodge we love you and keep em coming man, much love ❤️

Everyone that didn't know Michael and thinks they know who or what he was should see this interview. Great job, and thanks for posting.

Always knew Michael was completely innocent. Pour guy couldn’t even go shopping for a coffee and donut. Lived a life in solitary confinement.

when I was an eight year old kid I got my very first record, it was a Jackson five album and I would get up early on Saturday morning to watch their cartoon. I'm sixty now and think I was pretty close to Michaels age. I hope this doesn't sound strange to anyone, but I so wished I was black as I admired him so much.

100% best interview about Michael Jackson I have ever seen. I also wish he had gotten on the plane to go see him, as well (in final week). MJ ❤

In this interview I seriously learned a lot more about Michael than I have before. You can tell that the body guard is very loyal and has high respect for mj. I never once believed the allegations. May Michael rest in peace.

I so appreciate Mr. Fiddes' loyalty, humility, and courage.

Beautiful interview! You did a wonderful job conducting it. Hearing Matt Fiddes, Macauley Caulkin, and many others, recall their experience with Michael, one could see how close they were--true friends. Time waits for noone, but we can find forgiveness and closure...I am sure Michael would be very proud of this project!!❤🕺🏿💫👑🙏🏿

michael jackson was ahead of his time and died before his time…time is everything, cherish it.

Unbelievable how they treated him 😭❤️ I have and will always love you Michael 🕊️

I found this podcast by accident. It has been utterly fascinating. I am such a huge fan of Michael. I am going to see the Jacksons in 2 mths time. It was great so hear about the personal life of Michael. Huge credit to you both for this interview. It was very grounded and down to earth. Thank you.

When the media says look left, look right…

Many of MJ’s closest friends also say similar things. The allegations were bogus, and was an easy target. Such a talent. May he RIP.

My heart fell knowing what I knew about Michael. I Grew Up In Michaels Time he was Born was in 1958, and I was 1960. I was born. The way Brashire lied and shatter Michaels life is a shame.

Dodge pushes back... challenges... stays respectful... ends with positivity... Very good interview. Enjoyable... you got a new fan

Extremely wealthy& famous, yet so very misunderstood that MJ was…It saddens Me to hear the truth of MJ…He deserved a more secure stable private life.

Matt, you’re a legend in your own right. But I just want to thank you for being a true one to Mike. He knew he could rely on you and you brought him so much comfort, I am sure. Thank you so much ❤ in a world full of manipulators and extortionists you were solid and faithful ❤ May you always prosper and be fruitful, my friend. You still protect our Michael, and by extension protect us fans ❤❤ An example of a real man, to protect those he cares for. EDIT::my sincere condolences on your loss of a best friend. People want to know all the details but forget the human side of all this. Putting all the glitz and glamour aside, you lost your best mate, and that must really hurt. The fans are still grieving and we were never as close as you. It broke my heart when you said that people were shouting “pedo” at him and he heard that disgusting slur and got teary. Poor Michael. Rest in peace. And condolences to you, Mr. Fiddes. The host was a bit sour, and even though you did a stellar job explaining difficult situations, he wasn’t listening properly. God bless you, Matt and Michael 🫡💔✌🏻💔💔

No one ever speaks about that he took the time to be an artist. He did wonderful paintings!

Uri was right, the world needed Michael. We didn’t even realize it until he was gone

I've seen the article of chandler admitting he was forced by his father by money but nobody is interested in the truth

I have known all along that MJ was not the monster they made us believe! I hope all the parties that had anything to do with MJs downfall have a warm place in hell waiting for them. Thank you Matt Fiddes for finally clearing up any doubts about MJ.

I appreciate Michael Jackson‘s bodyguard, exposing the truth. Unlike the host of this show main purpose was to find dirt years after Michael’s death.

MJ would be so proud of his kids and the adults they’ve become. Say what you want, Michael’s love for his children was crystal clear. I think Katherine Jackson did a wonderful job with them.

Wow what a life, I have to say Matt has changed my mind about Michael Jackson (for the better). In the late seventies me and my wife worked in a nightclub in Sheffield called the Fiesta Club the Jackson Five appeared there unfortunately I wasn’t on the roster that night my wife was, she says to this day that it was the best Gig ever. CB

The best interview I ever heard about this man. My brother you could tell you was a friend. And also a real Irish man

Dodge: “Have you seen Martin Bashir since?” Matt: “Oh I would LOVE to see Martin Bashir…” Dodge: “What would you say to him?” Matt: “I’d thump him in the face! I’ll do a few nights in a cell, for what he did to my friend. He KILLED my friend!” You don't know how fired up I was to hear that. Matt is an absolute unit! Don't mess with his friends, ESPECIALLY a friend like Michael!

What a wonderful show. Thank you. I felt his regret in the end and it brought me to tears.

Michael Jackson would be very proud of him if he was still here today.

Was really nice listening to him talking about Michael. I will always remember him in concert in uk cant remember where , but was definitely in the 80s. Me and my best friend who's passed away now. (Me Julie) she loved Michael Jackson so much , so talked me into just going and waiting outside the concert. Because we couldn't get tickets. We could hear it all and sat listening to it. Near the end Michael told them to open the gates for people who couldn't be there... That was us.. ohhh my God, we ran and ran to near the middle. Don't know how but we got to see him for the last song's Was amazing, the atmosphere was out of this world. Both given me great memories RIP 🙏🏽

Michael was pure, he loved children, he was a gift to this world. The elites tried to destroy him coz he wouldnt comply thats it!! Love how his bodyguard is telling the truth...these guys see and know everything!!!!! 🎉

Best Question of the Interview " Was he black or white at that time?" 35:19 LMAO

From the beginning of watching your videos Dodge I knew you had something special to offer. There's loads of channels where they interview personalities, people of interest etc. What makes your channel unique is your subtle style of getting the best out of people, you are respectful, humble, humourous (When it's appropriate) and most importantly, you let people speak. This was another great interview and totally unexpected, the longer it went on the better it got, a true eye opener. Thank you Dodge for your honesty, I have the greatest of respect for you.

Thank you, Matt and Dodge, for this insightful interview! I so admired MJ’s creative talent in music and dance. May he rest in peace.💕

This was soooo needed. I feel relieved to hear it from the horses mouth. The Jacksoon 5's album "ABC" was my very first record as a child (along with the Nutcracker Suite: Tchaikovsky). Takeaway: people are evil, and greedy. Michael was super generous, clever, and naive. He was human. The spotlight killed him. RIP.

I met Michael by chance by wandering into a Los Angeles comic book shop that was curiously open really early in the morning. (probably they opened especially for him) I got the feeling that I wasn’t supposed to be there but that no one had noticed me. He was walking around the shop and the owner was following him around carrying a box into which they would put whatever comics he wanted. He was dressed in all black with sunglasses and a black sherpa type pointed hat and a face mask. I only recognized him by his shoes. I noticed several body guards.. I wonder if Matt was one of them? I said something to him and he kindly responded. (seemed to be a genuinely kind person) I was pretty nervous and so left shortly afterwards because I realized that all eyes in the room were on me. 😂

Class work as usual Dodge, keep the interesting guests coming ❤

This depiction of Michael Jackson is the image that I always had of him. I never believed such ridiculous stories about him. Why would I? The media lies consistently all the time.

Michael Jackson is resting peacefully in Heaven. He was a kind and generous human being who just was misunderstood. May God continue to bless him
