I had a different podcast planned for this week and spent many days in resistance to a Michael Jackson tribute, as I feel we're already inundated with MJ news and footage 24/7 and will be for some time to come. But as my numbness to his death wore off, it suddenly became imperative to spend an hour celebrating the musical contributions of one of the most spectacular talents we will ever see in our lifetime. Of course there's no way to be comprehensive in one hour, so I just went for songs that are representative of Michael's entire career or that, doggone it, just felt right. I will be back with my regular format next time, but this time, it's all about The King Of Pop.
Playlist:
"This Place Hotel"
"Never Can Say Goodbye"
"I'll Be There"

Lori, my darling, you absolutely outdid yourself on this one. I don't know if was due to the sheer genius of Micheal's music or the way you cleverly quilted together pieces of Michael that presented a beautiful mosaic blanket that made me feel warm and comforted after listening to the podcast. Perhaps it was a combination of the two; anyway, I would like to thank you both for being a huge part of my life and sharing your gifts with me. I love you, Lori; I love you, Micheal. RIP
