My Michael Memories

I grew up in the age of Michael Jackson; he was only five years older than I am.  However, we did not have cable so I have never seen many of Michael's videos.

I loved most of his songs and was amazed with the way he could move his body when I saw him on regular TV.

I especially liked that he organized the "We are the World" charity 'thing'.

My biggest and most remembered MJ moment was one Sunday.  My then boyfriend and I were on our way to see some new puppies.  The radio was playing Kasey Kasum's American Top 40 he was commenting about the album that had just taken over the tope spot as the most sold album ever.  Kasey Kasum said he'd tell us after the commercial break.  I was excited and telling my boyfriend that I knew it was Thriller.  I knew it.  He didn't believe me and was looking forward to proving me wrong.  It was at that moment that one of the tires on the car blew out...we ended up flipping the car and sliding down the highway on the roof and hood of the car....landing in the ditch on the other side of the road.  We never did hear Kasey Kasum tell what album he was talking about.  But I know I was right.

RIP Michael Jackson RIP
