我想我得提一下，Michael真是個糟糕的司機。他撞過錄音室裏每個人都車至少一次——也包括我的。一次，他在101公路上跟一個傢夥追尾，結果趕緊從現場溜走了，因為那傢夥下了車就開始沖著他尖叫。最終他放棄了開車，改為每天讓人開車把他送過來。
另一個值得回憶的經歷是在Tower Records打烊前一個小時給他們打電話，讓他們提早關門，讓Michael和我去購物。雖然那家店就在同一條路上，我仍然很高興能走下MJ的車，進入商店安全的空間！那天晚上我想他花了1500美元買CD。
一天，Michael很不好意思地問我是否能幫他一個特別的忙。我很確定這是他放棄開車之後的事情，我猜他那天是實在沒有辦法了。我當然答應了，然後他才明白地告訴我他沒有內褲穿了。
在我和他一起工作的兩年內，Michael每天都穿著黑色西褲和紅色系扣襯衫進來。他的辦公室裏有一整架這兩樣服裝，我想他要要麼是讓人洗乾淨送回來，要麼乾脆每天穿完後就扔掉。這一天，我猜他已經沒有存貨了。
一開始，他只是說想要內褲。當我問他要什麼樣的，他只是重複“內褲”！我告訴他，我不是他媽，不知道該買什麼樣的，他笑了，然後說：“Hanes30號的。”等我就要出門時，他跑過來喊道：“要32號的，我不想要太緊的！”所以，你看，流行音樂之王也穿白色三角小內內。”

I guess I should mention at this point that Michael is an awful driver. He hit everyone’s car in the studio lot at least once, including mine. One time, he rear-ended a guy on the 101 freeway, and just left the scene because the guy got out of his car and started screaming at him. Eventually, he gave up and got someone to drive him in to work every day.
Other memorable experiences include calling Tower Records (RIP) an hour before they closed, and having them shut down early so that Michael and I could go shopping. Even thought it was just up the road, I was glad to get out of MJ’s car and into the safety of the store! I think he dropped about $1500 on CDs that night.
Anyway, one day Michael shyly asked me if I could do him a special favor. I’m pretty sure this was after he stopped driving, so I guess he really didn’t have any other way to get stuff during the day. Of course I agreed, which was when he told me flat-out that he had just run out of underwear.
For pretty much the whole two years that I worked with him, Michael came in every day wearing black dress pants and a red button-down shirt. He had a whole rack of just these two items in his office, which I assume he either had cleaned and returned to him, or just threw away at the end of the day. But on this particular day, I guess he was running low on drawers.
At first, he just said that he wanted underwear. When I asked him what kind, he just repeated “Underwear!” When I told him I wasn’t his mother and didn’t know what to get, he kind of laughed, and then said “Hanes thirty please.” When I was almost out the door however, he came running up and yelled “make them thirty-twos, I don’t want them to be too tight!” So there it is folks. The King of Pop wears tightie-whities!
