Skimming through the New York Post this morning, I came across their "Where are they now?"-esque feature on The Jackson Five, which highlighted the group's "riches to rags" spiral. With each member currently facing their own share of troubles, it's clear that they're a long way from their successful '60s heyday. This, especially, caught my eye:"Marlon Jackson, 51, an original Jackson Five member...[now] stocks shelves at a Vons supermarket in San Diego."
Wow.
I wanted to know: "How could one of the Jacksons be reduced to a grocery store employee?" "Where did the J5 fortune go?" "Why aren't Michael and Janet helping out their siblings?" And my most important question, being a fellow San Diegan myself:
"Which Vons?!"

"Which Vons indeed!?!?!?"
Most excellently written and developed as usual.
Great post - very sad though since that was my era. We'll have to keep an eye out at all the Vons.
