Back On The Road
Introduction In the playlist above, my friend Harper Lewis asked why I hadn't included "Road To Nowhere" by The Talking Heads. The main reason was that the song is so well-known, but it is a brilliant song. Then I looked at the CDs on my desk and remembered I had missed an absolutely brilliant Tom Waits song.

What the REAL Michael Jackson Meant to Me.
Hello one and all - again. My earliest memory of ever listening to a Michael Jackson record was roughly in 1978 when I was 6 years old and a song on the radio kept telling me to "Shicya butty don to a gruhhh!" all the while telling me also to "dance and shout". Little did I realize that I would soon be introduced to musical greatness at such an early age. The following year, 1979, another song kept singing the refrain: "Piddo. Witta buss do stow; don' stop tuh get a mop" in such a high falsetto voice, I almost thought I was hearing a Bee Gees song in fast forward. However, once my family embraced the Seventh-day Adventist church, my secular radio days were over, and I was forced to listen to interminable songs about the "Love of Jesus" and stuff like that.
