I drove a rental for part of the week, and it had an active SiriusXM satellite radio on it, so I used it as much as possible. Much to my delight, Michael was not muted on there. 90s on 9 played Remember the Time, and Soul Town played ABC. :clap:

I created my 2.0 version of one of my courses from &#8220;Super Mario Maker&#8221; now the updated version is up on &#8220;Super Mario Maker 2&#8221; which I got recently. It&#8217;s MJ Tribute level.

Sheryl Crow is trying to backpedal:


Sheryl Crow Says She &#8216;Regrets&#8217; Michael Jackson Comments, Says They Were &#8216;Taken Out Of Context&#8217;

It appears that Crow is now having second thoughts about her comments. As pointed out on Twitter by Mediaite senior columnist John Ziegler, Crow used her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to reveal that she &#8220;regrets&#8221; the comments after being asked to reveal the most regrettable thing she has ever said in an interview.

&#8220;I think I might have said something recently about Michael Jackson,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And that kind of backfired. But, kind of taken out of context.&#8221;

Walked into a pub on Friday night and Billie Jean was roaring, real loud. People were dancing and singing.

&#8220;The Way You Make Me Feel&#8221; was played on 93.1 Moose FM Timmins this morning on my handheld radio while the power went down for about 2 1/2 hours so I won&#8217;t go impatient and stark raving crazy.

The shops around here may have muted Michael but the theatres don't give a flying fig. Thriller Live came to the city near me recently and they had huge banners up on the inside and outside of the theatre. And I walked past a theatre the other day and they have a giant stand for Navi's new tour right in the entrance so everyone has to walk past it.
That's what I like to see. :sarmoti

I know people on here can be iffy about tribute artists, but I think it's great what they do. Would love to see Navi perform sometime (though I doubt he'll ever come to my town).

I was in a fancy bar last Saturday with an amazing view of skyscrapers. At around 11pm they played Billie Jean so loudly. I got really excited and so did my friends and people around our table. No one is muting the king.

Only in your head? I wonder if these Fridays For Future kids know about this song. I would make it the ANTHEM for the movement. #EarthSong

:laughing: I would do it, too!

But we have to think about: the initiators of the movement are much younger than Michaels song. The kids have their own ´anthems´. And I am sure, Michael:heart: appreciates their powerful dedication incl. their music from there where he is......!

And - very sad! - we must admit, that the generation who was young when Michael touched and moved the world with his Earth Song, also belongs to those generations who did too less to save our planet Earth.

Grammy nominated country music star Ashley McBryde has been touring Europe these past few weeks and has been finishing every show with a cover of the Michael Jackson song 'Dirty Diana'.

This 'countrified" Dirty Diana made me interested, thankfully you can found some videos on youtube. Not bad at all (more like rockish though).:listeningtomusic

"Thriller" was played so loudly in the restaurant yesterday. My 6 yo son started dancing and people cheered.

I figured this would happen, therefore, I'm not surprised!!!

Although quietly, it ALWAYS comes back.

I truly believe that a lot of these folks know what time it is, but will never admit it publicly, because they don't want the "MeToo" mob to come after them. So they remain silent and safe.

I do have to chuckle a bit. I mean, that "Simpson Episode" Boycott didn't last very long.

Yes! I knew they would put that episode back sooner or later!

Long live Leon Kompowsky! :laughing:

What's funny is that there are so many Simpsons episodes that they could have removed the episode without saying anything, and no one would have noticed.

"Stark Raving Dad" back from the dead. But I'm still not ready to watch the new season.

YouTube channel &#8220;the detail.&#8221; has a new upload focusing on MJ&#8217;s dance rehearsals. No new footage, but refreshing to see a video dedicated to the actual art once in a while.
