8th Grade
Thriller Album
Please don't laugh! This has been a nostalgic day for me! Yes! I was one of millions of girls who fell for Micheal Jackson. During my 7th and 8th grade, He was a BIG idol. He made the "MOONWALK" He made music videos historic with "Thriller", I even believe he made me addicted to Pepsi, when he made that famous hair burning commercial for Pepsi. I had 12 posters of him hung in my room, along with banners, t-shirts, and countless of buttons. I cut up every picture found of him in magazines, and pasted them to my locker. Yep! I was one of millions during the "Thriller" era of the 80's! Today I sat. I sat and surfed YouTube, and watched all the music videos he made (the only good ones from "Thriller" and "Bad" albums). I made Kailey watch most with me. She even agreed that he was much better looking BLACK! However, I grew up and by ninth grade, my dreams of Micheal, were replaced by realistic boys my age. But it was fun to realize, that Yes, I was very apart of the Michael Jackson craze of the 80's. I guess this how many of the women my parents age felt like when Elvis died. It's really too bad that Micheal Jackson got so weird in the 90's. I have to keep reminding my kids that Micheal Jackson that I loved, was a very talented singer, songwriter, and dancer. And that was 25 years ago. NOT NOW!!

The tears I shed are not because I am laughing so hard at this post...okay, maybe just a little bit. I know I personally derived my sense of style from the King of POP himself. I remember the night that "Thriller" debuted on Friday Night videos-we didn't have cable or MTV (back when MTV played musiv videos!)so we nestled into my mom and dad's bed to watch it together! He definatly ledt his mark on the world.
Well I am with you. I remember watching thiriller over and over again! We even recored it on VHS so we could see it when ever we wanted and did not have to wait.
