Everyone's entitled to make their own moral calculus as consumers, and we can all debate endlessly where we fall on watching Woody Allen movies or whatever. But that's not the story here, which is about the MJ estate trying to make that decision for us. slate.com/culture/2025...

Pencil logo sketches by Jerry Dammers for 2Tone, 1979. On show from Saturday at the new V&A East museum.
me: so many earnest attempts at john williams imitation focus on the most uninteresting, surface-level musical details without consideration for the potent influence of his jazz years on his harmonic sensibilities. it's all popcorny fanfare bluster, no sensitivity.
the great goddess sekhmet: yeah
this song turns 50 years old today.
Anyhow say what you will about JSB but I feel like he did earn a certain amount of slack
