"Living with Michael Jackson" (2003) Martin Bashir Documentary

The ABC 20/20 special Living with Michael Jackson, in its original broadcast recorded to VHS on 2/6/2003. It lasts about 90 minutes (sans commercials), followed immediately by ABC's Primetime Thursday program which focuses on the MJ special and its aftermath. In the latter program I removed an unrelated story on Phil Spector, so it lasts about 30 minutes for a total 2 hour video.

This MJ special was controversial at the time, but in my opinion history has been kinder to Jackson since his death over 10 years ago, and for the most part people celebrate his musical legacy without all the baggage. Looking back, I think this special shows an isolated superstar who was never able to grow or evolve into a normal life, and comes across as eccentric and making choices most people might not. It highlights that money and fame aren't always the ticket to a trouble free life.
