Between Mike Ovitz and Michael Jackson, we're certainly being asked to summon up outrage at discrimination against some pretty rich people. I used to have a relative who said, "Never feel sorry for anyone who makes more than a million dollars a year."
Mr. Jackson is upset because he believes that black artists are treated poorly by major recording companies. I don't know that that's so but if it is, it seems to me that he has the power to change it. All he has to do is take his business to a black-owned record company…which, with him there, would quickly become a major. He could even set up his own label and treat artists better.
Mr. Ovitz is upset because a supposed "Gay Mafia" is sabotaging his career. I have nothing to say about this except that I love the whole concept of a Gay Mafia. I suppose when they give you the Kiss of Death, it includes dinner and dancing.
Incidentally, I've had occasional dealings with both Michaels. I feel they could both profit from occasionally associating with someone who didn't tell them everything they wanted to hear. Good night.
