    I don't think Eddie covets MJ.

    At a few shows last year, Ed played the beginning of "Ben" before "Rats". The 8-23-09 Chicago was one of those dates.

    He did it at the London O2 show as the PJ show should have been in the middle of the MJ run of shows at the same venue. Ed said something about it being for someone who should have played this stage

    Ed messed it up and had to start again
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Yep! Stevie Wonder also does a wicked cover of it.
