Subject: Made me chuckle, especially the salient point

The least dignified promotional tour of all time is about to take place. In the next week, Michael Jackson will appear at Exeter City football ground.

This makes Posh Spice dragging Beckham to a signing in Oldham's Woolies look like playing Madison Square Garden. The schedule is a fascinating document of a superstar in terminal decline.

Less than a decade ago, Jackson was able to sail giant statues of himself simultaneously down the rivers of five world capitals. Now his album has stiffed and he is appearing in a disco that would count itself lucky to hear Blame It On The Boogie at a PA by Big Fun.

The King of Pop's first engagement this Friday night is An Audience With Michael Jackson (featuring Patti Boulaye and The Golden Jubilee Choir) at Exeter City FC. Just wait for the look on Jackson's face on finding out that, yes, he is playing St James's Park, just not THAT St James's Park.

The salient point here is that the man who had the best-selling album of all time is now headlining a gig sponsored by Trident Vehicle Hire. However, it would be unkind to knock anyone raising money for a worthy charity. And thanks to this gig a team of third division footballers will be paid their June wages.

The real reason for the bizarre booking is the club's new non-executive chairman Uri Geller, who is also promising an appearance from David Blaine. The modern-day Houdini recently spent 34 hours standing on a pole in Manhattan's Bryant Park with no food. Now he is aiming to use his amazing powers of endurance to stay in Exeter for two whole hours. The man is clearly out of control.

Madonna's down the pub, Prince's down the dumper and Jackson - who went two decades without giving a British press interview - is now hob-nobbing with Exeter City F.C. The King of Pop is dead. Long live the King of Pap!
