Michael Jackson (29 August 58 - 25 June 09)
A superstar who spanned pop, disco and MTV, Michael Jackson was one of the great music heroes of the late 20th century. But by the time of his sudden death at age 50 in 2009, he was known less for his music than for his erratic behavior, wild spending, and many plastic surgeries. Jackson became a singing star at age 11, when he had four consecutive #1 hits with his youthful band of brothers, The Jackson Five. He went solo in 1972 with the album Got to Be There and embraced the glitter of disco with Off the Wall (1979). After his smash 1982 album Thriller yielded seven top-ten hits (including "Billie Jean" and "Beat It"), Jackson was dubbed "The King of Pop." Jackson was an early star of MTV and an international hitmaker. His distinctive wardrobe featured glittery suits and pseudo-military uniforms matched with the single white glove that became his signature; he also developed a signature dance move, the sliding reverse stroll known as the "moonwalk."
Jackson's next album, Bad, topped the charts in 1987. Then his eccentric lifestyle began to overwhelm his recording career, and Jackson became a favorite of the gossip sheets. In 1994 he married Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis (a.k.a. "The King"), but they divorced in 1996. Also notorious were Jackson's long series of cosmetic surgeries, rumors of exotic pets and superstar peccadilloes at Jackson's ranch estate (which he dubbed "Neverland", a reference to the story of Peter Pan), followed by another brief marriage to Deborah Rowe (1996-99) and multiple accusations of inappropriate conduct with children. In 2005 he was tried on charges of child molestation and conspiracy related to his relationship with a 13-year-old boy. Jackson was acquitted on all charges after a trial that year. He became increasingly reclusive, appearing in public only behind sunglasses, tinted car windows and silk face masks; reports of lavish spending and unpaid bills became standard fare. Jackson popped back up in London in 2009 to announce a new series of 50 performances in the city's O2 Arena, but died of cardiac arrest before the concerts could take place.Extra credit: Jackson played the Scarecrow in the 1978 movie The Wiz, a takeoff on The Wizard of Oz; the role was played by Ray Bolger in the original 1939 film... Jackson's sister, Janet Jackson, was a pop superstar of the 1990s... Michael Jackson did not buy the bones of the Elephant Man, despite rumors to the contrary... Jackson had two children with Rowe: son Prince Michael (b. 1997) and daughter Paris Michael Katherine (b. 1998). He also had a third child, Prince Michael II (2002), whose mother has not been publicly named... The name of Jackson's famous pet chimp was Bubbles... Thriller has sold over 100 million copies, making it the best-selling album of all time.

Is this the end of free radio airplay?
BayFm is just trying to understand this issue...
Moneyed international musicians demanding radio stations (initially in the United States) to pay them for playing their music? In retaliation to this, several radio stations are allegedly now boycotting them.
This maybe happening on the other side of the globe, but if this artist coalition musicFIRST (purportedly composed of huge names in the music scene) gets their way, radio stations all around the world, from the big networked to small independent radio stations on and off the net, might just kiss all-music programs goodbye and say hello to talk radio (hehe).
BayFM is re-posting this article courtesy of AllAccess.com that talks about this brouhaha over airplay royalties. Read on and tell us what you think.

| Is Bono Being Boycotted? (as of 10 June 09) Which top-selling artist purportedly had his new single yanked from some radio stations playlists in retaliation for supporting royalties for musicians?  THE ASSOCIATED PRESS reports no one involved will name the recording artist, but his no-play treatment by several radio stations is alleged in a complaint filed with the FCC and obtained by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. It claims recording artists are being threatened and intimidated. In the filing, the MUSICFIRST COALITION says the top-selling artist -- there are hints it could be U2 frontman BONO -- recently released a new album and spoke during APRIL (NET NEWS 4/20) in support of an effort to require radio stations to pay musicians royalties similar to those paid to songwriters.Soon after, it said, "several stations within a major radio broadcast group notified the artist's label that they would no longer play his single on the air." "These are the cases we know about," MUSICFIRST Exec. Dir. JENNIFER BENDALL said. "We can only imagine what may be happening under the cover of silence." A Response To Bono's Support Of Performance Fee? In APRIL, BONO issued a statement on behalf of pay for musicians, saying, "It's only fair that when radio makes money by playing a recording artist's music ... the recording artist should be compensated just as songwriters are already." Calls and e-mails by The AP to a spokeswoman for BONO were not immediately returned. Other artists involved with MUSICFIRST include DON HENLEY, CELINE DION, CHRISTINA AGUILERA and WYCLEF JEAN. Additional Claims The filing also alleges unfair treatment of other artists by radio stations in FLORIDA, DELAWARE and TEXAS. It does not identify any of the stations but accuses the stations of unlawfully putting their own financial interests above their obligation to serve the public. The group asks the FCC, which regulates the public airwaves, to investigate. The controversy centers on legislation in Congress that would require radio stations to pay musicians royalties. Satellite radio, Internet radio and cable TV music channels already pay fees to performers and musicians, along with songwriter royalties. AM and FM radio stations just pay songwriters, not performers. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS opposes the bill, called the Performance Rights Act. The NAB says it amounts to a tax on U.S. radio stations and threatens thousands of jobs. The filing by MUSICFIRST, made late TUESDAY, also said: - A DELAWARE radio station boycotted all artists affiliated with MUSICFIRST for an entire month. - Before an interview, an artist was pressured by a TEXAS radio station to state on the air that the Performance Rights Act would cripple radio stations. A Non-Commercial High School Station Boycotted musicFIRST Artists For 30 Days ALL ACCESS has learned that the DELAWARE radio station in question is BRANDYWINE SCHOOL DISTRICT Non-Comm WMPH (SUPER 91.7)/WILMINGTON. A MUSICFIRST spokesperson would not confirm that, saying, "We are not confirming stations other than those included in the filing." While no longer posted, a cached version of the site finds this posting: WMPH Boycotts Music First Coalition Artists WMPH made an educational boycott for one month simply to make a statement in the music industry. The MUSICFIRST coalition wants radio stations to pay the artist for playing their music. From mid-JUNE through mid-JULY 2007, WMPH refused to play songs by any artist affiliated with the MUSICFIRST coalition. musicFIRST Argues What's 'In The Public Interest' MUSICFIRST is asking the FCC to investigate these actions, find that the stations have violated their public interest obligations and consider the broadcasters’ malfeasance in connection with their license renewal. MUSICFIRST is also asking the FCC to consider this conduct as part of its overall review of the length of radio stations licenses, currently seven years. "Our message to the FCC is clear," BENDALL said. "We respect a broadcaster’s right to oppose the Performance Rights Act. But we cannot tolerate broadcasters’ use of the public airwaves to stifle debate, threaten artists and musicians and undermine the public interest in pursuit of their narrow, private business interests." In a press conference held TODAY (6/10), MUSICFIRST claimed that "dozens of stations," with various ownership, had turned down ads from the coalition. NAB Responds NAB EVP DENNIS WHARTON issued the following statement, "This allegation is nothing more than an act of desperation by a record label lobby losing on CAPITOL HILL and in the court of public opinion. On one hand, it highlights the unparalled promotional value of free radio airplay, which has propelled countless artists to stardom. We would also note that WILL.I.AM, a vocal proponent of the performance tax, and his group BLACK EYED PEAS are currently #1 on BILLBOARD's Pop 100 Airplay Chart with the song 'Boom Boom Pow.'" "If there's an FCC probe involving the music business, it ought to focus on claims from numerous artists -- from THE BEATLES to PRINCE to CHER -- that they were cheated out of royalties by their record labels." |
