Infamous Rock Quotes -- Michael Jackson

"Why can't you share your bed?"
                                                                                                               -- Michael Jackson, 2003

To most people, the idea of a grown man having sleepovers with teenage boys is creepy, but Michael "Wacko Jacko" Jackson has never been most people. During Martin Bashir's ABC documentary 'Living With Michael Jackson,' the tarnished pop star uttered these words while holding hands with a 13-year-old cancer survivor. A year later, the same boy accused Jackson of feeding him wine, showing him pornography and fondling his genitals during numerous sleepovers at the Neverland Ranch, marking the second time in a decade that the pop icon had been brought up on child molestation charges.

The resulting trial, and media circus that surrounded it, was fittingly bizarre, featuring celebrity witnesses like Jay Leno and Macaulay Culkin, Jacko arriving to court in pajamas and the unfortunate introduction of the term "Jesus Juice." Although Jackson was acquitted of all 10 charges in June 2005, he was dethroned as the King of Pop: In March 2006, he was forced to sell his beloved California hideaway and sought exile in Bahrain.
