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!

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)
