Michael Jackson
We couldn’t have done it without you—had a party senior year without your Thriller album…
I grew up with Micheal Jackson on the radio, live on TV, as well as the cartoon version. He helped us get our groove on when we were children, made us cringe when we were too cool to be a public supporter, but came back and turned our world upside down when we were in HS when it became cool again to love his talent.
You couldn’t have a party when I was in HS unless you had a copy of Thriller.
He did change before our eyes many times over the years, but I like to remember him making us smile inside with his music. A fond memory of Michael Jackson while in College was his Jackson Family Tour back in 1984 (I’m pretty sure that was the year.) He toured the world with his family. It seemed like a way for him to give back to them some glory, success, and money that he was lucky enough to have had over the years.
My friend got like 20 tickets on the floor and I’m not ashamed to admit that it is still one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. We had our hands in the air, singing ABC with Michael Jackson and his family! Our girls were dancing on the tops of the wooden floor chairs as we held on to prevent them from flying off.
When the several hour concert ended we continued the party in the Meadowlands parking lot waiting for the traffic to clear, the drinks to be finished, the girls and guys to finish whatever it is they were doing in those cars, and the vibe that Michael Jackson brought us to settle down…
Thank you Michael! I don’t care what anybody says when you were good you were sooooo good!
