Music: Every time we see Michael Jackson’s kids, it’s a big scene

  • Prince Michael Jackson did a great job of speaking in front of a massive crowd, all the more impressive because we don’t think we’ve ever actually seen the dude. Paris, who you remember from Jackson’s funeral, holds up well. Either way, this moment (where they accept Jackson’s Lifetime Achievement Award) is, again, great television. source

Music: Michael Jackson gives us “Another Day” to wonder what if

  • This isn’t the full song, but it’s enough to let you know that Michael Jackson still had it late in his life. “Another Day,” a collaboration with Lenny Kravitz reportedly recorded last year (unlike earlier “Dangerous”-era tune “This is It”), sounds like the work of the someone who had something to say. It’s sad that we won’t get the full answer as to what that is.

Music: We have a new Michael Jackson song. It goes like this.

  • Is This It? Yes, this is it. “This is it” is the single Michael Jackson was supposed to ride off into the sunset of a second wind of a career. That didn’t happen. Instead. It’s a painfully ironic statement of a guy who died before he had a chance to live the song’s statement of optimism. How about the song itself? It’s pretty good. It’s got an old-school MJ feel. It’s not even pretending to be a song released in 2009 (which suggests to us it wasn’t recorded recently). What do you think? Post your thoughts, kids. source

Culture: Trip report: Propofol (just like Michael Jackson!)

  • Propofol didn’t just make me sleepy; it made me feel as if my soul had been detached from my body and was resting just above it, on a cloud of marshmallow fluff, sweet and achingly tender.
  • “The Root” contributor Angie Chuang • Describing her usage of propofol during a colonoscopy, the way it’s supposed to be used. Michael Jackson, who overdosed on it, reportedly used it to sleep, which she says is “bull@(%^.” Chuang suggests, based on her usage, that Jackson may not have been taking it for the sedative elements but the “catharsis. … Not the sleep, but the escape.” He wasn’t loved enough late in life, so he probably wanted a temporary out, she suggests. • source
