Those of us born and raised in Indiana, not exactly a farm team for celebrity culture, like to promote those of our own who have made good for themselves: The most commonly cited, at least among my friends, are John Mellencamp (from Seymour), Dave Letterman (Indianapolis), Axl Rose (Lafayette), David Lee Roth and John Darnielle (Bloomington), and of course, Michael Jackson (Gary). David "Moose" Adamson, who's been playing around the Hoosier State in various guises for a few years, has turned his affinity for the fallen King of Pop into "I Will Save Young Michael", which he's placed at the center of , his first album for Indianapolis indie Asthmatic Kitty. "I know for a fact that you're from Indiana, and so am I. So that makes us brothers," he intones in the song's spoken-word outro. Then, his appeal: "You gotta come back, and dance again, like you used to. Okay? Okay. Good." Made all the more hopeful by its harmless dopiness-- as a geographically-informed ode to a troubled soul, "Michael" sounds like it was written by Sufjan Stevens' dumb-jock older brother after he heard his sibling's "John Wayne Gacy, Jr."-- Adamson's plea marks the highpoint of 's humanity.
