Friday Throwback – Soul Train Edition
Big Money wrote a fine piece about Don Cornelius earlier this week after the news of his passing hit. I can’t really add anything to it other than that to me, he was one of the most recognizable music figures when I was growing up. I honestly don’t remember who was on Solid Gold. But outside of Dick Clark, I don’t think there’s anyone else I associated with music or music television more so than Cornelius. Here’s something to chew on: MTV was a network dedicated to […]
bLISTerd: The 20 Best Michael Jackson Songs (Part Two)
Make sure you check out the first part of our list here . I’ll admit that this is where you’ll find the more “no-brainer” Michael songs, but I think that speaks less to predictability and more to a general consensus of his genius.

I’m not the biggest fan of rain (although I’ll take it over snow…wow, I sound just like someone who’s lived in the upper right corner of the map for 34 years, don’t I?), so I’ve begrudingly gone out to run errands and eat.
