S1x41 "Breaking Free"

S1x41 "Breaking Free"

This week, we review one of the shortest pieces from Dancing the Dream. In just eight lines, his poem "Breaking Free" explores the meaninglessness of time and the constraints we live in as human beings, so often afraid of taking chances.

But in addition to a reading and analysis of "Breaking Free," this week's episode also features a deep and honest conversation about Michael's right to privacy, self-protection, and the recognition that, as fans, we can (and should) only have so much access to his inner world. Through a brief discussion of his song "Morphine," I open up about my own struggles to understand Michael while recognizing I may never truly be able to.
