Don't know about the legal issue, but it's pretty interesting how his stories about both MMY and Jackson seem all to revolve around *him*, Chopra, and how selflessly he helped them out--saved MMY's life, nursed him back to health; wrote Jackson's books and lyrics for him, introduced him to his children's nanny. I mean, if Chopra had preserved confidentialit, we'd never have heard of any of this, now, would we? Gosh, do you think Chopra will become one of the media's go-to guys for insider reminiscences about Jackson--especially dirt about his drug use--now that Chopra's written this article? And this is intriguing: > When Michael passed me the music for that last > song, the one sitting by my bedside waiting for > the right words, the procedure for getting the > CD to me rivaled a CIA covert operation in its > secrecy. What do you want to bet it was so "secret" that it'll turn out nobody on Jackson's staff knew anything about it? And of course Chopra would never produce the CD in question; that would be betraying Jackson's confidence...
