It sort of reminds me of the fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson about the Emperor's New Clothes. The emperor was actually naked but no one wanted to tell him because supposedly, as the story goes, if you couldn't see the clothes you were stupid. It was an honest child who finally said "the emperor is naked." I think it's sort of like that with MJ. Everyone around him tells him things he wants to hear and no one dares suggest he might be a "little off." In his mind he sees nothing wrong with his behavior because he has surrounded himself with people (on his payroll) who help to keep this fairy tale life going.

I found it interesting that he became angry with the interviewer after it was over. He felt 'betrayed' as he said. Perhaps as a result of the interview he got a little glimpse into just how weird he really is and now realizes he is "naked" (symbolically). Just a thought...
