Remember the Time Protecting Michael Jackson: Book Review

When I got the book, Remember the Time: Protecting Michael Jackson In His Final Days, that was basically written by New York Times writer, Tanner Colby, I did not want to read anything about the book until I read the whole book myself. I was really focus on reading the book and expecting this book to do "justice" for Michael. However, the more I read the book, the more it became more about the two former Bodyguards, Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard, wanting to get their money that Michael owed them, telling his family business, sacrificing a lot of things to protect Michael and proclaiming the the 2009 Memorial was a "show" and not a send off to Michael. After I read the book, I started to view these men differently and once I read the other former bodyguard, Mike Garcia's statement about the book, it made more sense to me. This is my review of the book and I will not hold anything back. I hope that if anyone is going to buy the book that they should read this review before making their own decision. 

The book.

Q&A Session: Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard, Michael Jackson's Bodyguards

When I read on Facebook that Bill Whitfield and Javon Beard's, better known in the MJ fan community as the MJ Bodyguards, were finally going to released their book, Remember the Time, Protecting Michael Jackson In His Final Days, I knew I had to get their book. I pre-ordered the book and reached out to them to do a Q & A Session for the blog. Luckily, they responded and immediately was interested. I have to admit, I did not know what to expect because there were fans who were against the whole idea of these men doing a book on Michael. However, unlike a lot of people who worked for and with Michael, these men never maliciously try to bash Michael or his children. I cannot ignore that fact. I hope that everyone, regardless of the their opinions about the book, read this session and come away with understanding their stance on their reasons.
