You gotta remember Michaels works for a bunch of ninnies (OH, don’t we all.) and is a master of walking the line, picking his battles. Mostly though, I am with the camp that says this is about control. You can’t allow the talent to start calling the shots. Everything will go to hell.
It’s a good song though. I wasn’t into the guy then. It is fun to see all those “New Wave” moves like the waddling walk and intentionally nerdy look. That was totally new then and now is so ingrained in the culture.
