		<description><![CDATA[Michael Jordan during the 2016 Olympic bid The question became: where was he during this whole campaign? He was more ghost than a fourth encounter. Couldn’t be seen nor heard.

The blue-collar poet from Jersey has taught us life lessons for more than three decades, his tales of common man echo in our minds.
