Letters to the Editor

Michael Jackson was a man of compassion

July 3, 2009

DEAR EDITOR: For two decades, I worked in various segments of the entertainment industry. What began as a part-time job as a bodyguard ended with a lifetime of memories of so many top-name performers; stars such as the Rolling Stones, The Who, Bob Seger and Elton John and far too many to recall here and now. As so many of the young men who came to this line of work, I was a returning veteran from Vietnam working his way through college, every night acting as a bodyguard for the world’s biggest stars. We were the big fellows who wore the bright yellow shirts and stood in front of the stages at all the concerts in Cleveland and cities far away. It was the 1980s, and the Jackson Tour was coming to the Cleveland Stadium that summer. Little did I know, this week-long event would come to define and remain paramount in my memory, only to come back in a flood of tears as the world now mourns the loss of an icon. The Jackson tour was scheduled for the old Cleveland stadium.

Health care proposal would be a disaster
