The following news is not directly related to Michael Jackson but as co-executor of the Michael Jackson Estate, it is important for fans to know the following:
John Branca, Co-executor of the Michael Jackson Estate, just gifted $5 million to the Occidental College to establish “The John Branca Institute for Music”.
Nice of him, especially when he still haven’t paid the IRS with the consequence of Michael’s own children not having access to their trust funds!
Branca studied political science at the college where he graduated in 1972 and went on to represent the Beach Boys, Bee Gees, the Beatles catalog, the Doors, Dr. Dre, Fleetwood Mac, Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and the Elvis Presley Estate (which he fucked up), among other clients as partner and head of the music department at the firm Ziffren Brittenham.
The John Branca Institute for Music aims to enhance the music business curriculum with the addition of new cutting-edge technology and production facilities. David Kasunic, associate professor of music at Occidental, will serve as the Institute’s inaugural director and there are plans to align with community colleges like Los Angeles City College (LACC) to promote transfer opportunities for students with diverse backgrounds. Occidental’s music department is already a noted academic program.
“Occidental College has a diverse student body and provides the most personalized undergraduate education in Los Angeles,” said Branca in announcing the gift.
Added Occidental College President Harry Elam: “John is a giant in the music business and he is a true believer in the kind of personalized teaching and learning that can only happen at a small liberal arts college. John’s gift, coupled with the state-of-the-art music production facilities we already have in place, will make Occidental a truly exceptional place to study music. We are so grateful to John for his generosity and vision in supporting the John Branca Institute for Music Education.”
I guess his TikTok is going to be updated as well as his own website!

How did he screw up the Presley Estate? I haven’t heard that before.
Just when you think he can’t stoop any lower somehow he does. Is there no limit to how low he will sink for iñfamy?
