Michael Jackson is Jack London in Call of the Weird
Call of the Wild first edition
It seems Michael Jackson used Jack London as an alias when attempting to buy painkillers and other drugs, at least that’s what the
Daily Telegraph says.Apparently
The Call of the Wild was one of his favourite books. You know, Michael Jackson is growing on me all the time. I read
The Call of the Wild as a teenager and remember it as a brutal but wonderful story.
The journalist fails to point out the irony of alias - there was also much controversy and debate about London’s death. Was it suicide? Was it an overdose of morphine?
A first edition of this classic book isn’t cheap - I wonder if Michael owned one. I suspect he did.

Hmmm, interesting…once again more coincidences and parallels…..seems Michael’s “death” was one big parallel with everyone he was interested in, including Elvis, Jack london and several others. I know Michael, planned and liked schedules but lol does one schedule their own death???
