I'm glad to hear that somebody enjoyed the Jacksons' concert.  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?
