Michael Jackson Proving That Everything Oldies Can Be New Again
From the Department of Weird Anecdotal Evidence That Makes Me Think Michael Jackson’s Death Really Was The End Of Pop Music: The New York “oldies’ station WCBS-FM just played “This Is It,” the Paul Anka-assisted “new” track from Michael Jackson. I mean, I get that the 1983 pedigree of the original tracks allows the song to fit in to the station’s “’60s-’70s-’80s” tagline, but who else would be able to move playlists in that matter at this point? The Beatles? [WCBS-FM]
