Dear Michael


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"
"Dancing Machine"
"Enjoy Yourself"
"Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)"
"Ben"
"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"
"Billie Jean"
"Human Nature"
"Remember The Time"
"Butterflies"
"Man In The Mirror"
