If you’ve never read Mr Gutierrez’s Michael Jackson Was My Lover: The Secret Diary of Jordie Chander, you should start saving your pennies now. Sure, the used copies start at around $500, but it’s one of the most thorough and eye-opening investigations into the 1993 Michael molestation trial EVER WRITTEN. Published only in Chile, and kept out of circulation here in the States (due to legal threats and a MASSIVE CONSPIRACY, of course, of course) the book exposes the seamy underbelly of the Michael Jackson mythos in lurid style. It’s all there: the drugs, the sex with underage boys, the coverups, the plastic surgeries… and, mind you, this was all written 15 years ago! WAY before Diane Diamond and Nancy Grace got in on the act! I don’t know whether it’s all true, or none of it’s true. But it’s a helluva read and Victor is a helluvan investigator. So happy birthday to you, Victor Gutierrez! (And PS: give Jordie a big old sloppy kiss from me if you see him!)
