This episode highlights Ms. Janet Jackson's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We'll discuss how the media perceives The Jackson Family and how they can always avoid the scrutiny by focusing on their phenomenal art. We highlight Janet's achievement and the fans that helped make it happen.

We also discuss Brenda Richie constantly reclaiming her time and defending her relationship with Michael Jackson as well as the ghost train that has recently made the news regarding a movie no one cares about.

Remember to start with episode 2 before 2.5! Enjoy!

The Jacksons are on tour, Janet was on a boat, Taryll has new music, children of the world are graduating and what we know about Quincy Jones quietly flipping an MJ related event into an 80s jam session.

Episode 14 - The Invincible Timeline

Welcome to Episode 15 - it's our third January here at BJE. Thanks for joining us for another year! This one is all about Michael Jackson's autobiography, "Moonwalk".

One of two books written by Jackson, the second being a series of poems called ‘Dancing The Dream’. Michael completed the book over the course of 2-4 years after We Are The World and released during the Bad era.

We discuss the details of the book and how Michael told more about himself than he may have intended, which makes for an interesting read.
