I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME MY INTERNATIONAL ENTERTAINMENT CONSULTANT AND VERY SPECIAL FRIEND OF MANY YEARS; LINKEDIN CONNECTION AND NOW I HAVE THE PLEASURE AND PRIVILEGE OF HER BECOMING MY NEW FACE BOOK FRIEND, Greta Pope. I first met Greta Pope with two mutual friends; James H. and Ed W. I had been working on a project with the late MJJ; we were exploring different potential approaches to the nuts & bolts of how best create / design / craft and mount many different simultaneously all set in motion at one time category specific international marketing and advertising campaigns that would SYNC TOGETHER ALL AT ONE TIME TIED TO A WE ARE THE WORLD SONG ABOUT REV, DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. WHOM HER FAMILY HAD PLAYED AN IMPORTANT HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT ROLES IN WORKING DIRECTLY TO ADVANCE THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT WITH DR. LUTHER KING, JR. This was at a critical REUNITING NEXUS for both Michael Jackson and me; AND ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT as with time ticking away I NEEDED TO SPEED UP a once in a lifetime OPPORTUNITY EFFORT FOR ME to help relaunch THE KING OF POPS RECORDING COME BACK with a compete marketing advertisement EXTRAVAGANT EXTRAVAGANZA ranging from BIG MAC Hamburgers to LUXURY GM Automobiles. ALL TO BE SET IN PLACE WITH NO MONEY; ONLY ONE SONG WITH A MESSAGE FROM MARTIN: TO URGE US TO CARRY ON WITH HIS DREAM OF ONE LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND-NESS AND ALL WOMENKIND-NESS ! An additional post by Robert J. Austin: HELLO TO ALL MY NEW ASPIRING FACE BOOK FRIENDS. I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO TAKE A STEP IN THE NAME OF LOVE AND WITHOUT CAUTION SEND ME ALL OF YOUR NEW FACE BOOK AND LINKEDIN FRIEND AND BUSINESS CONNECTION REQUESTS.THERE IS NO NEED TO BECOME A FAITHLESS BASED REACTIONARY WHEN YOU ARE ON A BLUES BROTHERS LIKE MISSION OF GODS LOVE! I LASTED IN MY FACE BOOK ABILITY TO SEND OUT GOING FRIEND REQUESTS.... TO MY SURPRISE THIS TIME EXACTLY TWO WEEKS... AND WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST INFRACTION TO MY CAREFUL AND CAREFREE WATCHING TO SEE THE MYSTERY OF THE REASONING BEHIND ANY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MY HUMBLE ABODE ON FACE BOOK BY THE CORPORATE ZUKERBERG FACE BOOK ADMINISTRATION ... I WAS ONCE AGAIN; ONE MORE TIME *FOR THE SHINES* SUSPENDED FROM SENDING OUT GOING FRIEND REQUESTS FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF 30 DAYS.AGAIN, I WAS ACCUSED AND RED LINE BRANDED FOR IRONICALLY, SENDING OUT A FRIEND REQUEST TO MY ACTUAL REAL LIFE COUSIN LARRY OBANNON WHOM I HAVENT SEEN NOR TALKED TO SINCE GOD KNOWS WHEN. I HAVE REALLY MISSED HIM FOR NEARLY FORTY YEARS. LARRY OBANNON AND I GREW UP IN A TORRID TIME AND A TORRID SMALL BLACK SECTION OF OUR HOME TOWN, WHERE EVERYONE KNEW AND PROTECTED ONE ANOTHER ON THE GHETTO HOME TURF AND BLACK BOY JUNGLE STOMPING GROUNDS OF CONKEY STREET IN EAST HAMMOND, INDIANA., LOCATED ONLY A FEW MILES FROM 2300 JACKSON STREET GARY, INDIANA. THESE WERE THE EARLY YEARS OF THE 1950S , LARRY OBANNON IS MY COUSIN BY MARRIAGE TO MY MOTHER MAUDE MAE AUSTIN AND STEP FATHER CHARLIE SMITH, WHO WAS THE UNCLE OF LEROY HARWELL AND LARRY OBANNON. IT SEEMS LIKE SECONDS AGO I WAS WATCHING BOTH LEROY AND LARRY AT THE GARY, INDIANA MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM PLAYING STARTING BASKETBALL GUARDS FOR THE HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL WILDCAT AGAINST GARY FROEBEL BLUE DEVELS. I HUNG OUT WITH BUDDIES FROM FROEBEL THOMAS NUNLEY AND BARRY TAYLOR. BUT LARRY OBANNON AND LEROY HARWELL ..MAN THEY COULD PLAY SOME FANTASTIC ROUND BALL AND SO COULD ALL THE MANY NORTHWEST INDIANA BLACK ATHLETIC STAND OUTS FROM ALL THE THEN RACIALLY SEGREGATED HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE REGION. EAST HAMMOND INDIANA WAS A STRANGE EXCEPTION AND ALMOST WHOLESOME EXCEPTION TO THE AMERICAN COLOR LINE SEPARATION SEGREGATION RULE OF THE 1950S. IN HAMMOND WHEN I LIVED THERE IN 1956, 1957, 1958, and 1959 POOR TO MIDDLE CLASS BLACKS AND WHITES LIVED SIDE BY SIDE, AND WALKED TO SCHOOL TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE IN THOSE DAYS....NO SCHOOL BUSING! . THIS MUST BE AN IMPORTANT FACE BOOK FINDING FOR ME AS MY COUSIN LARRY OBANNON WAS JUST ACCIDENTALLY STUMBLED UPON, WHILE I WAS CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER OF MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS SAM CROSS ALSO FORMERLY FROM HAMMOND, INDIANA. SAM CROSS HAS SOME VIP RELATIVES IN MY LIFE STORY WHOM I KNOW WELL FROM OUR LIVES GROWING UP. TAKE FOR INSTANCE;... I WAS BAPTIZED IN A SMALL APOSTOLIC / PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OF GOD COMPLETE WITH A RED HOT POT BELLY STOVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CHURCH TO KEEP US WARM THROUGH THOSE COLD WINTER DAYS OF THE 1950S. OUR CHURCH WAS LOCATED NEARLY DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM SAM CROSS THEN CROSS FAMILYS HOME ON AMES STREET. OUR WORLD WAS MADE UP IN LOCALITY OF AN IMMEDIATE FEW MAYBE 10 TO 20 BLOCK SQUARE RADIUS THAT WAS OUR HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE IN PRODUCING STRONG FAMILY TIES ENCOMPASSSING OUR SMALL CLOSE KNIT COMMUNITY IN EAST HAMMOND INDIANA. THE PASTOR WAS NONE OTHER THAN THE ELDER PASTOR CHARLES TALIEFERO SR., GRAND FATHER OF SAM CROSS S NIECE CRYSTAL TALIEFERO. CRYSTAL WOULD ONE DAY BECOME A BRIGHT MUSICAL LIGHT FOR THE SHINING NEEDED OF THESE 2014 CLOUDY DAYS OF OUR UNDER SIEGE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TIMES! I WELL KNEW SAM CROSS AND BOTH HIS BIG BROTHERS RAYMOND AND IRV CROSS A NATIONAL FAVORITE FOOTBALL STAND OUT CORNER-BACK FROM HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL TO BECOME A NOTED SPORTS STAR OF THE NFL PHILLY EAGLES AND THEN A FAVORITE TELEVISION CBS SPORTS NEWSCASTER. BUT ALSO KNEW WELL THE CROSS FAMILY SISTERS ESPECIALLY AUDRY CROSS ,WHO WAS MY OLDER SISTER MARIE AUSTINS AGE AND WHO IS THE MOTHER OF CRYSTAL TALIEFERO.. WORLD TRAVELER AND WORLD FAMOUS AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGWRITERS, MUSICIAN AND SINGER WITH SUCH INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATED RECORDING ARTISTS AS BRUCE THE BOSS SPRINGSTEEN, BILLY JOEL, FARM AID FOUNDER JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP TO NAME ONLY A FEW OF HER TALENTED FRIENDS AND PROFESSIONAL MUSIC INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS.. SO, ONCE AGAIN; I AM ON HIATUS AND WONT SENDING OUT ANY FURTHER NEW FACE BOOK FRIEND REQUESTS UNTIL DECEMBER 5, 2014. I WAS NABBED AND CAUGHT RED BANDED IN THE NAME LOVE REACHING OUT ACROSS AND ALL AROUND THE WORLD FOR ALL OF YOU THAT WOULD BECOME MY FRIEND TO HELP CELEBRATE THE REUNITING THAT BROUGHT ME AND MICHAEL JACKSON BACK TOGETHER BEFORE FATE TRIED TO STEAL AWAY THE GREAT VISION WE SACRIFICED ALL IMPASSE TO SHARE IN COMMON MUTUAL BONDING AS BINDING FOREVER FRIENDS OF WORLD FRIENDSHIP. I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF MEETING MANY NEW FACE BOOK AND LINKEDIN FRIENDS FROM THE CAUCUS MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN RUSSIA TO THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA; FROM THE PLAINS OF THE HILL OF KENDALL MINTERS STONE MOUNTAIN AND OF MARTIN’S RED DIRT CIVIL RIGHTS LAND OF GEORGIA TO THE SNOW CAPPED PRAYING MOUNTAINS OF THE DALI LAMA OF TIBET. I AM BLESSED BY THE CHARITY OF SO MANY PERSONS THAT HAVE BECOME MY FACE BOOK AND LINKEDIN FRIEND AS BECAUSE LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON AND ME; YOU MUST “FIRST OF ALL” STEP OUT IN FAITH TO SHAKE A HAND AND TAKE A STAND LIKE WE FIRST TOOK IN THE NAME OF LOVE..A GREAT LEAP OF FAITH AND TRUST IN LOVE. SO, STEP IN THE NAME OF WORLDWIDE HUMANITARIAN PHILANTHROPY IN THE NAME OF LOVE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR THE LOFTY YET HUMBLE HUMANE AND JUST CAUSE OF ONE LOVE FOR ALL AMERICAN ONE LOVE... ... AND WE CAN ALL JOIN HANDS WITH OTHER HEARTS AROUND THE WORLD IN A QUEST AGAINST ALL CIRCUMSTANCE AND IGNORANCE THAT WOULD DARE TO REVERSE THE RISING TIDE OF THE GREAT AWAKENING OF TRUE LOVE FOR ALL BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD…THIS IS THE SONG OF SONGS SPOKEN OF BY MANY SOLOS THAT HAD FULL UNDERSTANDING OF ENTERING THE REST OF THE BEST! AND SING FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, WE ARE FREE AT LAST ….… “THAT EVEN NOW AS WE SPEAK, IS NON-VIOLENTLY STEPPING OUT IN THE NAME OF PEACE AMONG ALL OF THE MANIFOLD *OUR WORLD IS AT RISK* DIVERSITY OF RACE, CREED, GENDER, ECONOMIC STATUS AND POLITICS…..and AID IN UNITING ALL THE BEAUTIFUL HUES OF THE RAINBOW OF DIFFERENT COLORS OF THE MOTHER EARTHS MANY GREEN FIELDS OF SOULPEOPLE OF ALL MAN-KINDNESS AND WOMEN-KINDNESS.....TO BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS OF OUR WORLD LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON AND ME healed and sealed ours with HOPE IN INSPIRING A FURTHERING OF A MUCH MORE TO COME, FAST & VAST STEPPING OUT, OUTPOURING of peace on earth and goodwill to become friends.” In response to the new Facebook guidelines I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, writing - published and unpublished, personal/professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berne Convention).
