I recently spinned (spun, I stand corrected by Ashlee number 1 speller)  my first real event at Stage 84, the theme you ask… 80′s!!!

A Timeless Pop Icon

As you already know the King of Pop is dead. Below is quick podcast I put together for those who want to jam to some of their favorites, or for those who don’t own any MJ records. Michael Jackson is the definition of an artist, complete with vocals, lyrics and personality. He (in my opinion) is the single most influential artist that has ever lived. One who has created music that lasted decade after decade. Music that still fills the dance floor. His music will continue to inspire and his memory will never be forgotten. Don’t forget if there was never a Michael, we wouldn’t have spent so many hours perfecting our Moon Walks. Rest easy King.

Tribute to MJ

( I am very aware that I definitely missed a few of your favorites but I could only make the podcast so long, enjoy for now and maybe I will post more)
