The Jackson Five

Consider the lyrics to ABC by The Jackson Five. ‘A-B-C, 1-2-3, do-re-mi, A-B-C. That’s how easy love can be’. Hence, if one were to believe this particular randomly-chosen quintet of Jacksons, then only if you are sufficiently fortunate to be versed in an amalgam of such diverse areas of proficiency as number theory, linguistics and musicology will you find the nuances of romance easy to fathom. Furthermore, this bizarre hybrid discipline that Michael, Tito and co seem to be pushing would seem to rule out any hope for everlasting companionship with a life partner for all but symphony-composing, equation-solving polyglots.
Makes sense to me. I certainly see no other explanation for the failure of the marriage of Michael and Lisa-Marie.
