The Ren Faire is a magical place where you can find medieval warriors, maidens, huntsmen, and Lorax. Yes, the Lorax has been making an appearance at Renaissance Festivals. If you aren’t sure what the Lorax is, he is the protector of the forest created in the imagination of Dr. Suess. @camrynmissesvine For the trees ♬ original sound – yep In the original story, the Lorax is awakened when Once-ler chops down a tree in the forest. Once-ler is a villain, but he’s more like a gangly teenager with very little knowledge of the world. Once-ler sets off on an adventure to find the materials to make his invention, the “Thneed.” When he begins junking up the forest, the critters get angry. He finds what he needs in a forest of Truffula trees. When he chops the first tree down, it summons the Lorax, a “mystical creature as old as time itself.” Introducing himself as the guardian of the forest, the Lorax warns Once-ler not to take the trees. Of course, the villain doesn’t listen, which sets up the remainder of the story. I can hear you wondering, “But what does this all have to do with a Ren Faire?” At a local Ren Faire, a posse of Lorax appeared wielding medieval weapons to do battle against Once-ler. It’s not something you see daily, and the unusual demonstration delighted festival patrons. Image from TikTok. The comical “Battle Royale” provided a neat break from the typical Ren Faire battles. Once-ler did not stand a chance against the small but mighty Lorax. I don’t know who the actors were, but they did an outstanding job as Once-ler and guardians of the forest amidst the pirates, jousters, and medieval fighters.

A secret tape from a Michael Jackson interview made it to YouTube, and it showed the King of Pop trying to hide the abuse he suffered as a child. He admitted to being under pressure to perform as a child star among brothers who never encouraged him or had any fresh ideas. His confessional interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach made it to The Michael Jackson Tapes, and in it, he describes how the presence of his father, Joe Jackson, terrified him. Although Joe softened up with age, Michael refused to accept him fully and was unimpressed by his sudden kindness towards his grandkids.  Michael Jackson was a victim of child abuse Michael Jackson/Instagram Michael recalled getting back from school to meet Joe sitting in a chair with a belt or switch in hand. They would immediately start rehearsing, and he got most of the beating compared to his siblings. He told the reporter that he suffered child abuse but immediately begged that they do not write it down. Joe never hesitated to hit Michael and his siblings whenever they made a mistake. The late King of Pop tried to stand up for himself often, which made him a victim of even more lashing from Joe, who managed the Jackson 5 for about 10 years. Michael Jackson/Everett Michael Jackson feared Joe Jackson Due to his experience, Michael could easily identify healthy parent-child relationships apart from abusive ones. He told the reporter that a child’s reaction upon seeing their mother or father says a lot, whether they avoid or run towards them. Michael Jackson/Instagram The late legend said he fainted several times out of fear in Joe’s presence and would sometimes get tummy ache or throw up. Michael grew to be a loving father to his children ,Prince, Paris, and Blanket. He shielded them from the public eye when he was alive for fear of media intrusion and external pressure.
