Song, Morphine what is it about?
It's difficult to tell, with the lyrics being unclear at certain points. The irony is that it's my all-time favourite song, yet I can't be % sure about all the lyrics and his intentions for writing the piece. I guess the reason it's such a powerful song is because of what it tells you despite its lyrics--the melody of it. You start with an aggressive beat and aggressive verse. It's so different from anything else he released, so raw, so intense.
You start out with "He got flat, baby, kicked in the back, baby, a heart attack, baby" all told from an outsider's perspective by using "he," a detached third person pronoun. You almost think he's going to tell a story, which is the approach he used in Little Susie, another interesting and deeply emotive song of his. You wonder, who is "he", and how did he die of a heart attack? Then, it goes on to address someone: "you make me sick, baby", "All down the line, daddy, I hate your kind, baby." What kind? Assumingly, drug-addicts, since a "line", at least in my interpretation of it--is highly reminiscent of the slang term "lines of cocaine.
Surprising Details Found In Michael Jackson's Autopsy Report
According to Michael Jackson's autopsy report, he was relatively healthy with no history of heart disease. At about 5-foot-7 in height, Jackson only weighed pounds when he died. He had many scars on his body, was uncircumcised, and had tattooed a dark spot on his scalp. His eyebrows were also tattooed, and as were his lips. Another surprising thing found in the autopsy was that Jackson's hair was "sparse and connected to a wig." There was also dark coloring along his hairline, and his skin showed the spotty depigmentation caused by the disease vitiligo.

Jackson was a year-old man when he died, yet throughout his career presented himself as having childlike qualities — possibly due to missing out on a normal childhood thanks to his years as a child performer. Still, he was far from a child. His autopsy showed that he was taking the drug Flomax, which treats enlarged prostates — an issue not uncommon for a man of his age.
Even more troublesome was the number of prescription drugs found in Jackson's system, per Medical News Today. According to the autopsy report, there were a few different benzodiazepin
MICHAEL KATON
While it’s entirely accurate to describe the music of Detroit legend Michael Katon as ‘blues’, it also fails to do justice to the power, intensity and raw Motor City attitude that Katon commands with every note and chord. Ever since he first started playing around the bars and clubs of Detroit at the tender age of fifteen, Katon has infused the traditional blues sound with his own Michigan ‘tude, and is today considered one of the world’s finest exponents of blues rock.
After spending 20 years on the move, honing his trade with various blues and rock’n’roll bands, Katon relocated from Los Angeles where he had been living during the mid’s, to the aptly named village of Hell, Michigan, and released his debut solo album,‘Boogie All Over Your Head’. In keeping with his own DIY ethics and with a firm desire to avoid compromise, the album was released on Katon’s own Wild Ass Records label. It was his dirty boogie style, hoarse vocals and hard-hitting riffs that helped Katon win popularity with fans of hard rock and metal music as well as the blues cats.
Released in England, his second album ‘Proud To Be Loud’, cemented his international reputation as a gui

People often struggle with allowing artists to grow and evolve. For Bob Dylan it was considered sacrilege by many to pick up an electric guitar; for the Beatles, the shift from sentimental love songs to social statements and psychedelia caused them to lose, in some people's minds, their initial charm and mass appeal. For Michael Jackson, the conventional wisdom meant every album post-Thriller that didn't sound or sell like Thriller was considered a failure; this, in spite of the fact that some of his most significant and challenging work came later. Call it the curse of expectational stasis.
Still, for those who gave Blood on the Dancefloor: HIStory in the Mix a serious listen, it was an impressive record indeed. Containing just five new songs, the album is considered an artistic breakthrough by some. "His singing on the first five tracks of new material has never been so tormented, or audacious," wrote Armond White of Village Voice. "'Blood on the Dancefloor
