as i've said on here before, in another life i was an old black woman. i love to spend the evenings relaxing to one of the retro r&b, soul stations playing the "quiet storm" or "between the sheets" or similar formats. i also often listen to them throughout the day while i'm working. i just feel close to the people on the stations and the music.

i bring this up because i find it hilarious and quietly strong of the stations to be doing subtle odes to michael jackson over the last week or so. i've heard more michael songs this week than in a while, and not a word about anything else, just the music. and what great music it is. i'm an old black woman.
