All the really good MJ stories are coming out of the UK for some reason. Bigger fan base?
Michael Jackson 'working on new climate change song before death' (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/michael-jackson/5656313/Michael-Jackson-working-on-new-climate-change-song-before-death.html)
The Telegraph (UK)
Michael Jackson was working on a song about climate change in the days before his death, his friend Deepak Chopra has disclosed.
The spiritualist and author, who knew the singer for 20 years, said that Jackson had recorded a demo of the track and was drafting the lyrics.
The prospect of unfinished Jackson songs gaining posthumous release will provide some succour to his millions of grieving fans. The King of Pop released his last album, Invincible, in 2001.
Writing on The Huffington Post, the US news and commentary website, Chopra said that Jackson had called him in an "upbeat, excited mood" on Tuesday.
"The voice message said, 'I've got some really good news to share with you.' He was writing a song about the environment, and he wanted me to help informally with the lyrics, as we had done several times before," he said.
"When I tried to return his call, however, the number was disconnected. (Terminally spooked by his treatment in the press, he changed his phone number often.)
"So I never got to talk to him, and the music demo he sent me lies on my bedside table as a poignant symbol of an unfinished life."
...
He could have saved the planet. :(
Let's pass cap and trade ... for Mikey. :)
