    Alan Jackson’s “Pop A Top” was a cover of the 1967 country hit by Jim Ed Brown (of the Browns and The Three Bells fame).

    I have a friend who seems to think that the funniest joke ever is the idea that Alan Jackson is Michael & companies brother. He brings it up whenever either Jackson is mentioned, and cracks up. He even once decided to draw Alan in on my copy of the Jackson 5 Christmas Album (I was NOT amused). So I suppose he’s be pleased to see Alan and his “brothers” “reunited” here, but I’m pleased you didn’t make his joke.

    Anyway, I think Michael’s 90′s output has to be viewed as disappointing, and I don’t think I’d describe Dangerous as a classic. I probably like the new part of HIStory more–I even quite like “DS”, although “Childhood” is pretty unlistenable. And I too enjoy a lot of Jermaine’s stuff.

    Chattahoochie is a perfect Halloween kind of song, ’cause there ain’t no cornball bigger.
