- Michael Jackson, being born in August of 1958, (I only remember because he was
- born about 4 days apart from my husband), that would put him at 3 years old.
- Young enough to see Al, but as you say maybe not innocent enough. However,
- given that, and I know very little about the Jacksons, so someone jump in on
- this if you know more, didn't Michael join the group much later? I believe
- he was about 10 when he joined the other brothers, (and they would say that
- he was 8 in order to kind of pad his age a bit and make his talent seem even
- more incredible. So Michael didn't look 3 in Camikazi Kid, so I guess that
- means that we are investigating this too closely.
