• Michael Jackson: The Thriller Has Ended.

  Oh Michael Jackson.
  
  I didn't want to believe it when I heard the news.  I thought maybe he had just collapsed and needed some medical care.  I was glued to TMZ yesterday, and when they reported him as dead, I almost couldn't believe it.  And then reality set in.
  
  I didn't really appreciate MJ until his "Black or White" video came out.  Do you remember that spectacle?  Macaulay Culkin, the debut, the video being like 8 minutes long... you HAD to be sitting there watching it.  "Remember the Time" was also quite the spectacle, along with the celebrities all over it.
  
  One of my favorite songs was probably PYT, which unfortunately doesn't have an official video tied to it.
  

  
  You also have to give mad respect to Billie Jean.

  And remember... you are not alone... I am here with you... although this video is really creepy with Lisa Marie...
  

  Click me!
  You also have to respect the Jackson 5.  Do you know your ABCs?
  

  
  There have been a lot of people who bring up the last 15 years of his life, with the allegations, acquittal and the court of public opinion finding him guilty.  Yes he became... weird as he aged but he also was not a normal child to begin with.  It's probably not the time to bring that up right now.  Let's enjoy his music.
  
  (Although, when I think about it, I'll probably be ragging on OJ Simpson until the end of time for what he allegedly did and totally forget about his football career.)
  
  What was your favorite Michael Jackson song?
