I've been listening to Michael Jackson a lot lately and have come to respect him as an artist. I always have kind of, but let the Wacko Jacko stuff get in the way a bit. Not anymore.
It's so hard to discuss MJ and his music with anyone because there is something strange going on. There seems to be no middle ground. It's mostly either absolute adoration or judgment clouded by prejudice.
And beneath this circus, albeit his megastar status, his talents as songwriter, singer and dancer get buried.
I don't love everything he did, but when something works for me, he can hit me like very few musicians can. It's like someone is playing my heartstrings. So much Emotion. Euphoria even. It's like flying almost.
Is there anyone on this forum who would like to discuss some things MJ?
Favorite songs, shows, etc. Less known songs like Morphine (the chorus, the bridge!) Or 2000 Watts (so much fun). We could rank and discuss all "Slash songs". Or even discuss which songs aren't working and why. Stuff like that.
Anyone?
