Prince and Michael JacksonÕs careers overlapped and spanned about the same amount of time. If you want to
understand music, popular music. If you want to understand popular culture you cannot look at them as if they arenÕt both part of that conversation. They need to be part of that conversation.Ó
The discussion which, now transcribed and edited, fills these pages, was recorded on the 23rd of May 2016, and was first released in two digital podcasts ('Michael JacksonÕs Dream Lives On: An Academic Conversation' episodes 8 and 9) on May 28th and June 7th 2016.
This wonderful book delves into facets of Jackson and Prince that we had never considered before, in order to offer our readers and listeners new perspectives on their careers and posthumous reception.
