Re: BBC 1Extra's Thriller Day (On now) - All kinds of Thriller stuff

I wish I could magically wake everyone's alarm clocks! This broadcast is HUGE! They are doing it BIG TIME! HAPPY THRILLER 25 EVERYONE!!!

So far they have praised MJs influence on so many artists, including many we would have never even considered. So many just paying tribute to the man. Our man!!!

This is GREAT!!!!

Tune in now and all day long.

I sent them a thank you letter and I am from Indiana, USA. I also sent this info to all my local radio stations along with Thriller 25 General Info asking them what they are considering doing for Thriller's Anniversary and Michael Jackson's fans as most the artist they do support and play are direct prodigies of OUR KING! I also stressed how HUGE this BBC show is and asked them to tune in and see the positive responses they are receiving supporting this event. Bashing MJ is so 1990s! Come now with the MUCH DESERVED RESPECT.

Right now theya re playing the full new version of Akon's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin".... I dig it. It's showing love peeps and that's what he needs before the BIG COMEBACK!!! This is a master planned return watch ;-) MJ aint stupid.

It's a BIG PARTY!!!

Radio Alert: "Michael Jackson's Masterpiece" - BBC Radio 2

Saturday 1 December
8.00-9.00pm (GMT) BBC RADIO 2

"In December 1982, Michael Jackson was at his creative peak, Quincy Jones was music's most powerful producer and MTV was looking for a figurehead to champion music videos. They all came together to create an audio-visual phenomenon and the highest-selling album in history.

Some 25 years later, Trevor Nelson tells the story of Thriller, revealing how the classic songs came to be, how it created the world's biggest superstar and how it all nearly fell apart.

This programme features all nine album tracks and exclusive interviews with Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton (who wrote the title track), former CBS President Walter Yetnikoff, MTV founder Bob Pittman, guitarist Steve Lukather, keyboardist Greg Phillianganes and original "moonwalker" Jeffrey Daniel.

Presenter/Trevor Nelson, Producer/Neil Cowling"

(If anyone from overseas would like to listen to the programme which sounds like it will be a fantastic hour of entertainment can listen online at):

www.bbc.co.uk/radio2

Remember the time the programme starts is 8pm GMT so remember to set your alarms/reminders if you are in a different time zone!
