The 51-year-old singer opened her set with “The Knowledge,” a hard piece of mechanized funk from her politically minded 1989 album “Rhythm Nation 1814.” And here the song was accompanied by images of war and violence and environmental destruction, as well as the names of black men killed by police in recent years.
“White privilege,” the screen read in stark lettering as recorded voices demanded justice — all the proof you needed that Jackson views her music as a vehicle for ideas and emotions of every kind.
“The Knowledge” demonstrated too that she hadn’t come to the Bowl just to go halfway.
