Darkness Falls Across the Man
I’ve got a joke for you. Question: What do you get when a Priest, a UFC fighter and Michael Jackson walk into a bar? Answer: A stupid joke. He’s dead and I know everyone is sick of hearing about it but I think it’s sad. The man was easily one of the creepiest American of all time but he was awesome. If everyone has had a couple drinks and your controlling the music the best way to get everyone to start talking and having a good time again after you’ve played just a bit too much Sonic Youth or Deerrhoof is to throw on a MJ song. You gotta be a total stiff not to be psyched if someone throws on a song you haven’t heard in a long time. When was the last time you heard Dirty Diana? I bet you were stoked. Well this is one of my favorites of his. It’s one of the cheesier songs but it gets me amped. I remember watching this live. MJ had the Jesus fire that night. He was good.
