poltr1I heard the news last night after I got home from dinner.
My first exposure to Michael Jackson was a Saturday morning cartoon show featuring the Jackson 5. Does anyone else remember this show? Michael and his brothers -- no, don't ask me to name them -- would have these adventures, and they'd perform their songs during the episode.
Years later, I remember going out of my way in college to see his videos on MTV. We'd go to bars just to watch the premiere of his latest videos -- Thriller (still one of my all-time favorites), Bad, Remember the Time, Black or White. (I'm sure they'll be a DVD released soon.)
My interest in him and his music waned when he was brought up on child molestation charges the first time. I think that's when his career started to wane.
At the very least, the media can stop hounding him now.

Date: 2009-06-27 04:18 am (UTC)I remember disco dancing when almost every track of Michael's "Off the Wall" album was in the rotation at the disco. Dated as that sounds, I now regret ever having given up disco for the spousal unit; that was the beginning of my weight gain.
And of course, the pet rat communities on the non-filker part of my friends list are linking to the YouTube video of "Ben."
