Gentle soul. Michael. The music you made in your short life inspired more booty-shaking, more coming together, and more memories than any other artist. Your name carries with it a dance party that crosses genders, cultures and ages. We won’t ever forget you. We wish you peace.
As I sat down yesterday to post the play list from Wednesday’s raucous romp, I heard the news. Plans to post were overtaken with an evening spent lighting off fireworks dancing and marveling at the magnificent body of work that had attached to it the name Michael Jackson. While this last week’s playlist included none of his handiwork, so many of our dance parties have. And never fail, every time, no matter who is in attendance, we know Michael’s music will bring us all together. Thank you for the music, Michael. For giving it to all of us.

At DDPP Twin Cities last week, I finished my dj set with “Can You Feel It” by the Jacksons, only to come home and hear the news. So, we paid tribute unexpectedly.
Although it’s hard to ignore his tumultuous later years, I for one will always treasure the soundtrack he provided to my childhood.
