Yesterday would have been Michael Jackson's 51st birthday. Mos Def graced Portland with a nice little MJ tribute complete with moonwalking at his Roseland Theater performance last night. I was down on the floor watching Mos own the stage when he broke into "Billie Jean." It was a nice surprise. Mos did a bit of "Rock With You" as well last night. What struck me is how these exquisitely crafted songs hold up 25-30 years later. They sound as good today as they did when MJ earned his self-proclaimed "King of Pop" title. As for the rest of Mos Def's performance, it was bangin'. The dude is entertainer personified.
