Of special note for you was a painting of Beluche.Pam Keyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-183154335606129232013-03-15T12:27:29.818-08:002013-03-15T12:27:29.818-08:00Lou: Yep.

And very few people mention his adopted son, who was Native American. One doesn't cancel out the other, of course, but it is a curious omission in discussions about Jackson.
