Kurt Cobain replied to allegations against Michael Jackson in a 1993 MTV interview: “We no have right to even… I think it’s ridiculous, it’s a waste of time.”
“So, are the authorities calling Michael back to the States? Is he actually breaking the law right now?”
“Like he isn’t [a fugitive]. So what’s the big deal? He has all the right to be away until then.”
He said about Jackson’s public image, “It wouldn’t matter if he got on Oprah again and cried in front of everybody. It’s not going to change anybody’s opinion about it.”
“I just feel really sorry for him.”
