No problem! 2007 is still 579 years away! (Bahrain uses the Islamic calendar)

I'm really hoping for an Arab tinge to this new album, but I guess I shouldn't be too hopeful.

Is he going to include "What More Can I Give?"

I just have to say that Michael Jackson's near bankruptcy makes me feel a lot better about the sorry mishandling of my own finances.

Two words: Robot jockeys.

x-post Yeah, except for the part where he's chillin' in a palace in
Bahrain making records and we're eating cold Spaghetti-Os working in office parks.

He could license it to Sublime Frequencies in the USA.

I have to say, once again, that traditional Gulf rhythms are fantastic, and largely unexposed in the west. I could easily see them being worked into a modern western pop context (not that I'd probably like the end result--I'm not even crazy about a lot of the Arab pop that works with them, though some of it is great)--but it's a thought).

I can imagine Chris Tucker will resurface in the videos again as the fish out of water looking for some "Musleem bootay!" in the Arab world.

But he's still living in Bahrain, from the sounds of the article, so there is still hope.

Jackson, 48, has now formed a new company, the Michael Jackson Company
