There seems to be many parallels between Tender Branson and Michael Jackson (even their names are similar!). The sexual hangups, perscription drug abuse, plastic surgeries, staged weddings, and then the sad ending. The similarities go on and on. Was Tender Branson loosely based on Michael Jackson? Is Chuck a psychic or just very observant of our culture?

How are Tender Branson and Michael Jackson similar names? They're each 4 syllables?
