GREETINGS,
MUSIC FANS!
This week Legacy is all
about The Gloved One, as Thriller 25 FINALLY made its way to stores.
Don’t think that this is the end of the cool MJ-related stuff, though. Quite
the contrary, stay tuned for more episodes of The Thrillercast, and other cool and crazy
things to IM your friends during your work day, some of which will knock
your socks off.
FORGOT ABOUT
VALENTINES DAY? THERE’S STILL TIME TO MAKE IT UP TO THEM!
 Its February 14th, the day happy
couples buy each other things to share how much we value each other in the
currency of chocolate and flowers, and the day that unhappy single folks
gather together to watch movies and complain about how holidays like this
are all about getting couples to buy stuff but secretly wish they were in
relationships. If you were unfortunate enough to forget February 14th,
might we suggest you make it up to the music fan in your life by ordering
them a special museum-quality print of their favorite artist via Icon
Collectibles! There are legendary and rare photographs from artists as
wide-ranging as Billie Holiday, Sly Stone, Miles Davis and Glenn Gould. Check
out the wide variety of beautiful prints at http://www.icon-collectibles.com
CELEBRATE THE WEEKEND WITH CELINE
 Five-time Grammy Award winner
and multi-platinum Sony BMG recording artist Celine Dion stars in a
one-hour primetime special, CELINE DION: THAT'S JUST THE
WOMAN IN ME
this Friday on CBS. This pop music superstar returns to CBS with her first
concert since completing her five year musical extravaganza in Las Vegas. She also
performs two special duets with Grammy award nominee Josh Groban and Grammy
award winner will.i.am.
