Leon Kompowsky was a bricklayer from Paterson, New Jersey who was angry about himself until he started impersonating the voice of Michael Jackson, which gained him respect. He was placed in New Bedlam Insane Asylum where he later met Homer, who got hospitalized for wearing a pink shirt to work. Leon impersonated Michael Jackson though Homer had no clue who Michael Jackson was. After getting released, Homer invited him to come visit his home (Kompowsky was in the hospital voluntarily) and Bart, thinking Kompowsky was the real Michael Jackson, told everyone. The entire town showed up to see Michael Jackson, only to learn it was fake. Bart became hated in the town, and Lisa hated him too for forgetting about her birthday. Kompowsky decided to set things right and helped Bart write a special birthday song for Lisa. In the end, his work was done, so Kompowsky dropped the Jackson charade and started talking in his normal voice, citing his reasons for doing the voice was a result of anger and he felt respected when he did the Jackson impersonation, he then cited his work at the Simpson home was done prior to leaving.[1]
