More MJ

The pop star's sudden death is probably the biggest death since Princess Diana and before that John Lennon and Elvis Presley... I've just decided that a week long tribute to the man that changed pop music forever was the least I could do in The Excellent 80's, so enjoy some more of Michael's famous videos and songs... here is another #1 hit from the "Bad" album featuring Billy Idol's former guitarist Steve Stevens and (if you believe the never-wrong wiki-pedia, the woman in the video whose face you never see is supposedly that of Sheryl Crow who actually did tour with MJ as a backup singer for him on his "Bad" world tour - it's "Dirty Diana"...

The 8th single off of his "Bad" album was "Leave Me Alone", directed by Jim Blashfield. It won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video at the Grammy Awards of 1990... though never one of my favorite songs or videos, it definitely represents a constant quest Michael had throughout his lifetime as he tried to balance peace and privacy with his larger than life icon status...
