Thanks Michael




















Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009

I will always remember the day I got Thriller. My grandparents bought it for me, I don't remember why but it was sunny that day and I had the new Michael Jackson tape. I vividly remember unwrapping the tape from the plastic and placing the tape in the boom box and pressing play and the first sounds of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" kicked in, as my mom, sisters and grandparents watch and listened along. It was just one of those moments that just shapes you (I think the next moment was when I saw a Guns and Roses video for the first time.)
That was almost 30 years ago...and I still get stoked.
It doesn't matter what you are doing, classic Michael Jackson songs make things better.
Thanks Michael, for all the memories and the great times ahead.
