They hit Toronto for three shows this past week-end, and I've been told that it wasn't worth it, but then the tickets were $40 here (I know that's only about $30 U.S., but we get paid in Canadian dollars so it's pretty expensive for us. You can buy about 6 recently released albums for that price.) and it was in the worst place in town to see a concert. (CNE Stadium, outdoors, always terrible sound, and about 1% of the seats have a good view of the stage) Anyway, I'm wandering off topic here. A question that I've been asking lately is, "how many Jacksons are there?" That is, how many perform as "The Jacksons"? I think Diane said five in her article, but I always thought that there were six. I know they were the Jackson 5 in the early seventies, and Michael was the youngest of the five, but if my memory serves me correctly, they were joined in the mid or late 70's by another brother younger than Michael (Randy, I think) at which time they changed their name to The Jacksons, since they were no longer five. I'm sure I counted six people on the cover of the "Victory" album, but The Toronto Sun recently had an article on them which pictured and named only five, one of whom was Randy. The names Randy, Michael, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie all come to mind, so who is the odd man out and what happened to him, or is one of these guys just a figment of my imagination? -- Jeff Richardson, DCIEM, Toronto (416) 635-2073 {linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd}!utcsrgv!dciem!jeff {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!dciem!jeff
