Music And We
We are organizers, and we love music. We love to talk about the joy that music brings, but also what lay beneath, beside, above and inside. We are not afraid to address the political, the spiritual, or the ideological. We examine what inspires us, and others. Thanks for joining us!

There's so much we didn't cover in this episode- how DARE we not even touch Camille! Covering the nuances and contradictions regarding gender and sexuality when it comes to MJ and PRN is going to take much longer than one podcast episode could give... But we hope you enjoy (or at least get something out of) this little bit here.

Here is the accompanying episode to 'The Sacred'... What is exactly defined as 'profane'? Can the sacred and profane co-exist in the worlds of Prince and Michael Jackson? Jesse and jamilah navigate the possible answers to these questions. For obvious reasons, some of what we say in this episode may be deemed 'profane', so be prepared!
Shamon.

In this 5th episode of Music And We, Jesse and jamilah discuss the concept of the 'sacredness' of words, music, images, etc.; and how contradictions arise based on perceptions of what is sacred. Are any of these things sacred? Have times changed to the point where nothing is sacred? Have we been wrong the whole time? Are Prince and Michael any less valued as humans based on their own contraditions? Stay tuned...

Jesse 'Jester' and jamilah speak about the contextual and possible circumstances around the art of Prince Rogers Nelson and Michael Jackson, in regards to their mental health. It must be noted that this is predominately our opinion, and may or may not reflect the views or experiences of Michael or Prince when they were here. Please forgive us for the variations in sound, background noises, etc. We are but two humble podcasters (living in two different areas), and are aware we are in need of better equipment. With that, we hope this doesn't take away from the content, and that you enjoy it, and possibly think about things you may not have before. Thanks...

You get two episodes in a row! Here, Jesse and jamilah discuss the damaging effects of 'Stan' culture, and how it clouds perception of how artists like Prince and Michael Jackson are seen. Stan culture denies the humanity of artists in favor of idolization and rationalization of celebrities' problematic behaviors.

Jesse and jamilah return with another episode (one which is massively late, we might add), continuing to build from the first. We have not even touched the surface here, but of course it's a start to the conversation. There will definitely be more to come.

Welcome to our inaugural episode! Jesse 'Jester' Jenkins (Europe) and jamilah bourdon (U.S.) have shared a common love and respect for the works of Michael Jackson and Prince for some time now, and advances in technology have enabled us to share the love with the masses. The show's goal is to examine the sociopolitical nuances of their works, and by extension, lives. This episode is honoring Michael Joseph Jackson, on what would have been his 60th born day. We discuss how he inspires us, his cultural and political significance, and our favorite songs.
(This episode is dedicated in the memory of Jamel Myles)
