A great talent but a tormented soul.
Only Michael Jackson truly knew who Michael Jackson was and because of what he knew, he needed a medically induced coma to sleep at night.
Fame and fortune does not equal happiness.

So, we can have this outdoor program; however, the outdoor airshow is canceled?WHY?
Amelia says
Because of you, Kay. Because of you.
Red Barron says
Wrecks is going to save the day with a special Eye in the Sky airshow on the BLVD. Panhandlers and criminals alike will be awed by the precision flight pattern of LEAPS as it goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, providing valuable pilot training hours for connected people like the sons of police chiefs and others.
