Song of the Week – “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'” by Michael Jackson
Aside Posted on Updated on
I miss the King of Pop, since I grew up with his music still love it. Michael was more than a singer, dancer and entertainer. He was humble, generous and sadly, misunderstood. I wish he were still with us.
The song of the week reflects a challenge that I set for myself today. I just joined the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge (April 2014). As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD, in her mid-forties, this will go one of two ways (1) help me organize my thoughts and blog every day or (2) create chaos and anxiety in my life.
I choose organization, as it will “force” me to publish book reviews, and some reflection posts, I have been putting off. I am #1703. Hear me blog! Now, DANCE! Have a great weekend, everyone!

This song always puts a smile on my face and gets me up to move and groove. Happy Friday!
“Battle Flag” by Lo Fidelity Allstars featuring Pigeonhed is the Song of the Day
Video Posted on Updated on
I first heard “Battle Flag” in the late 1990s as a club mix. It was originally written as an homage to Prince by Pigeonhed and remixed and recorded by Lo Fidelity Allstars. The beat and a few of the lyrics stuck with me. However, it was not until I heard it on the episode of “ER” where Dr. Carter (Noah Wylie) meets, and is stabbed by, a Schizophrenic patient that it grabbed me.
Then, I heard it on an episode of The Sopranos and was thrilled when they included on one of their show soundtracks. It has become one of my get-up-and-MOVE jams.
The song starts off with a bang and just keeps going. Here are the first few lines:
Your construction
Smells of corruption
I manipulate to recreate
This air to ground saga
Gotta launder my karma
Gotta launder my karma, indeed. Great advice for all of us. Wave your own battle flag!
