at least, me presley, maybe not commissioner fung, but i am concerned that if we try to proceed with things as they are or even with proposal a and proposal b, it will not work, so my idea is to revoke the permit. president goh: i also want to say that i appreciate the engineer. , saying across the street, it sounded like the sound was within five or eight decibels of the limits, so it is very, very close, and then given all of the parameters, speaking about the sound we heard tonight with just one door open, it did sound like a violation to him, so i think that testimony is useful. are there other comments? vice president garcia: not to be argumentative with you by any means, madam but president, but i think one of the criteria that was brought up was that the complainant's window was open. president goh: she said it was open, right. vice president garcia: go ahead. commissioner fung: i am prepared to make a motion. vice president garcia: i was going to make a motion. if another person would agree, then the permit would be upheld, and i want to place conditions beyond what was place

michael, we used to discuss big issues, including life and death, and he said to me once, i'd rather die like elvis presleyhan marlin brandao. what do you mean by that? he said i'm not going to go out with a whimper, but with a bang, and in many ways, he had a death instinct, just as he had a life instinct. he was -- he was in this world, but he was not of this world. >> you described him in that quote after he died as a mutant of fame. you've met lots of famous people over the years, do you think this is a common thing he went through in a bigger scale, is fame itself an addictive drug? >> fame in itself is an addictive drug, and fame creates an image in which you cannot add up to, at some point the image is defiled and everyone gets enraged. when, in fact, they created the image not conforming to reality, no image ever conforms to reality. >> the key thing from michael jackson was his dependence towards the end of his life on various drugs. what did you know about his drug consumption? >> well, michael only called me when he was totally sober and was off drugs. he did mention almost eight years ago to me

presley. i see taco bell. i see purple, red, blue, green, orange. i see cheetah revera on broadway. as american as the lee's, the kennedys. none sound american to me. i am not a shamed. jose can you see. i pledge allegiance to this country. land of commercialism. if i can win gold medals. if i can sign my life away. ain't no language. this is my country too. i believe in free dom and diversity, need to get the hell out. [applause] >> i have one more performer. can you believe that? i am so excited. he is a very kind man to be here. he's a total icon. tales of the city. his book that was made do a city. he's here on his book tour. thank you very much. well, i would not have missed this evening for anything. you and i both know these things can be boring. not tonight. i like to read, since i'm back home from a tour. i would like to read the chapter that my editor wanted me to remove. i have to set it up for you. michael toliver is 55 years old. they have gone to florida because his mother has died. and they have been out to the rest home, to the bear bar in orlando. they meet a black bear, that is a husky african-american guy and the guy basically p

me as well, although i have less memory of those events. he also molested my best friend as we laid sleeping one night. we fell asleep listening to elvis presley on the stereo. i must have dozed off because i awoke to the sound of my girlfriends saying, stop it. i was so terrified that i closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. i can't tell you how many years it took me to forgive myself for that. afterwards, my girlfriend to the bathroom, told me what happened. i was devastated and scared and confronted my mother in the morning. her back was to us, a said, mom, mary kay said it dad. chris -- said dad put his hands down her pants. to finally turned to me and said, how could you ever think that your father would do something like that? i remember feeling such guilt, like, wow, what an incredibly horrible boulder in to think something about that. i should have known that my mother's reaction was typical of over 80% of families dealing with these issues. since then she has become the biggest supporter. it took me years to get through the process of grieving. how did i turn that into a message of courage and light? one thing never left my mind i

presley publishing. that's now the cornerstone for his net worth. >> is that still part of michael's estate? >> absolutely, yes. >> in terms of the sheer number crunching here, can you tell meow what he paid for it and what it might now be worth? >> well, we bought the catalog in 1995. we spent $47.5 million, which is well known. we sold off a background music library. so his net investment was about $41 million. and while i can't give out confidential details, it's been reported that sony is worth up to $2 billion and michael owns half. >> he took 40-odd million to a billion dollars? >> yes. and i would say in addition to sony atv, michael has his own publishing company which owns all of his own songs as well as many other songs we bought over the years. when you add the two companies together, it's even more valuable. >> all this stuff about michael being half a billion in debt when he died is a lot of baloney, isn't it? assuming the publishing rights alone by the sound of it were worth several billion dollars. >> well, piers, i'd like to comment on speculation about michael's debt. net worth, you know, one doesn't want to have to sell those assets. so you know, those are
