First Chuck: 12:40 PM CDT (new anthem each week!)

I never got to fully appreciate the King of Pop. By the time I was of music-appreciation age, MJ was in full “Wacko Jacko” Era: all Neverland Ranch accusations & dangling babies over balconies and little in the way of actual music. I missed out on all the Thriller, Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, etc. hype.
Fortunately, a new musical biopic released this week may help me understand the scope of Jackson’s career:
I saw it yesterday and thought it was decent (7/10 stars). A lot of great musical numbers,
for sure. Strangely, though, it feels like a “part one” when a “part two” is not promised (and likely never to come, as this was all overseen by the Jackson Estate and they won’t want to tell the story of later-years Michael).
For those of you a bit older than my 40 years, drop your Michael Jackson remembrances in the comments if you are so inclined. Did you memorize the Thriller dance? Were you part of the Pepsi Generation? Did you watch his 1993 Super Bowl halftime performance?
Either way, make sure to Beat It over to your TV or radio for this afternoon’s action. It’s as easy as ABC-123 to contribute to this game thread. Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough as I Rock With You whether the outcome is Black or White. Heaven Can Wait—it’s just Human Nature to join together and cheer on our Twins!
