Armond White is one of the most creative thinkers alive. His pop culture analysis is razor sharp, unique, and defiant. He is also one of the rare critics who recognizes the meaningful connection between visuals and music. His music video deconstructions are frighteningly cutting edge. When I read his writing, I feel like I am reading my inner id: reject common wisdom, find the fearless truth of your own voice. Anyone with a creative soul will love Armond White.

—Joseph Kahn, film & music video director

The Michael Jackson Chronicles
_____________
ARMOND WHITE


ABOUT THE BOOK
“Has there been a more compelling show-biz/arts figure than Michael Jackson?”


In this collection, controversial critic Armond White chronicles the career of Michael Jackson. Written throughout his quarter-century as a critic, these essays focus on the work Michael Jackson produced AFTER the record-breaking commercial success of the Thriller album. He examines the impact of Michael Jackson as a cultural phenomenon, aesthetic/music force and dance icon/show-biz influence. Armond White uncovers the deep meaning in Michael Jackson’s art—especially the songs and music videos from the Bad, Dangerous, HIStory, and Blood On The Dance Floor albums.

  1. I just finished reading 'Keep Moving' for the second time and will periodically go back to it again and again. This book has touched me, educated me and answered so many questions regarding Michael's career and the media.
    Michael's death led me to listen to his music and learn about who this man was. i was immediately an enraptured fan.
    Thsnk you so much for articulating what Michael means to so many and what a musical genius he was. Everyone, espically the haters, should read this book. I know I will, again and again!
