Jackson 5 to Continue as Jackson 4

Many years have gone by since a full fledged Jackson 5 tour. Relations between Michael and his brothers (Marlon, Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine) has been rocky at best. Last week Jermaine announced that the Jackson 5 would reunite as the Jackson 4. Jermaine joins us today to discuss the latest chapter in the Jackson super group saga.

"Jermaine, who will be involved in this reunion?"
"Only the originals: Marlon, Jackie, Tito, and myself."

"Has Michael been asked to join you?"
"Yes. We've been asking him every day for the past 25 years!"

"So he turned down the offer?"
"Yeah. In around about way he did. He's been too busy molesting kids, playing with his monkey, or getting his face redone to talk to us. Usually his manager will return our phone calls."

"What did his manager say?"
"Michael plans on seeing you at Christmas. He also would like to thank you in advance for the fruit cake you will be sending even though he doesn't like fruitcake."

"That's it?"
"Pretty much."

"Did he voice any opinions about the reunion?"
"He told us to just leave him alone and to beat it. Look... I don't want to talk about my little brother anymore."

"Who will be singing Michael's parts?"
"Uhhh... I haven't thought about that."

"You haven't?"
"Get off my case man!"

"Don't you think it will look ridiculous singing ABC? You're kind of old."
"We won't be singing that song."

"How come you don't reunite as the Jacksons like you did in the late 70s?"
"Man, you are starting to piss me off with these questions."

"Sorry, didn't your manager tell you this would be an interview?"
"My manager tells me lots of stuff. Yo, Dad why didn't you prep me for this sh**?"

"Wow, your dad still manages the Jacksons? Didn't he used to beat you?"
"This interview is over."
