Popping in to say Happy Holidays! We've been celebrating over here in Positively Michael land so we haven't been able to record a long form show this week. We'll be back on our regular schedule next week. Until then, enjoy a bullet show from yours truly, Ivy!

General Reminder

Be sure to listen to the music of our Seven Inches In Artist of the Week: the Godfather of Soul – James Brown.

News Briefs

- Michael Jackson's MTV VMA Award for Thriller is up for auction and expected to fetch $100,000.

- A really bizarre anti-American propaganda video came out featuring "We are the World," a song Michael wrote to promote peace and charity. I don't like it and complain about it here!

- Roger Friedman published a big update on the goings-on in the lives of the Jackson siblings and cousins.

- The Civil Trial is coming! I've got an update on depositions, a possible interview between Conrad Murray and Anderson Cooper, and the possible inclusion of Prince Rogers Nelson (The Artist Formally Known as, etc.) as a witness.

That's it for the bullet show! Be sure to catch our next full-length show this weekend. A HUGE thank you to all of our donors! You all make this podcast possible.
