This is wrong on so many levels.
The 25th anniversary re-release of Michael Jackson’s Thriller features a series of bonus tracks on which Jackson’s original tracks are re-mixed and turned into duets with performers such as will.i.am, Akon, Kanye West and (in today’s SOTD) Fergie.
First of all, I hate the idea of a “duet” with a dead person. I hated it when Natalie Cole sang with old Nat, and I hate it here.
America’s favorite island poet, Jimmy Buffett, chimes in today with a beautiful bit of homespun wisdom. This track appears on the album of the same name, Buffett’s breakthrough record (also featuring his signature hit ‘Margaritaville’).
This has long been one of my favorite Jimmy Buffett songs, both for its easygoing sound and its lyrical message — particularly that last, great twist on the chorus: “If we weren’t all crazy, we would go insane.” Ain’t that the truth.
