That services in the you pay it back. theres no way you cant look at mr. jacksons responsibility here. he was known to doctor shop, he was known to be someone who would tell one doctor one thing and another doctor someone else. >> so, hearing that, does that make them -- youre shaking your head -- less responsible, or does that indicate they knew he had issues? >> well, yeah, its really a mixed bag, because the fact is everybody knew he had issues, they also knew somebody at aeg who had toured a...
