Remembering the King of Pop.....

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 06:40 am (UTC)Like you I enjoyed his music until the first child molestation charge, & how weird he just kept becoming.
I loved Thriller & have a very cherished memory of my then 36 month old son singing & moon walking to Billy Jean.
I'm sorry that his children are left without a father, but maybe now his soul can be at peace. I hope that on his next turn of the wheel that he's has a lot more stability in every factor of his life.
