Dave Dave: Michael Jackson Was Like A Father To Me

Longtime Michael Jackson friend Dave Dave appears on “Larry King Live“ on the day of Jackson’s funeral. “I am happy to have been his friend for all these years,“ Dave said. “He was almost like the father I have never had.“ Dave Dave - nee David Rothenberg - basically disowned his father after he set him on fire back in 1983; Jackson paid for his surgeries. Dave changed his name “to liberate myself from my father’s criminality.“
