My brother and I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller album. We played the record...yes the record which I still have... on my little plastic Fisher Price record player over and over (hope that doesn't embarrass you Larry). I probably listened to it more than Larry and I will admit I danced around my room using a tinker toy or a brush as a microphone and tried to moonwalk. Now moonwalking on carpet doesn't really work but hey...I was 6.
I was channel surfing while packing for a my trip tomorrow and came across CNN and did a double take when it said he died. Most people focus on his out of control life in the recent years but I will always remember him as the Michael Jackson that scarred me with his Thriller video.
Thank you for the memories.
Rest in Peace
