NAMES IN THE NEWS : Brother’s Tastes Not for Janet
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Janet Jackson shares her brother Michael’s taste in rehearsal halls, but apparently not in main courses.
When Michael Jackson rehearsed at the Pensacola Civic Center to prepare for his 1988 “Bad” tour, his chef whipped up vegetarian entrees garnished with flowers from the Hilton Hotel florist shop, hotel employees said.
But Janet Jackson, who is using the 10,000-seat Civic Center before starting her first solo national tour in Miami, has developed a fondness for Chicken Supreme sandwiches from McGuire’s Irish Pub & Brewery a few blocks from the Civic Center and Hilton, the Pensacola News Journal reported today.
“From the day they arrived, Janet Jackson’s roadies and sound crew have made us their second home,” said Susi Lyon, promotion director for McGuire’s.
