I'm about 7 years older than you, and so I was more influenced by Jackson's 80s hits. I bought the Thriller record album and knew the words to all his songs. We were not fortunate enough to have cable TV, so I didn't get to see many of his videos on MTV. But I remember being so excited to be at a friend's house who did have MTV and fawning over this incredibly talented and good looking singer/dancer. I fell out of fandom after the Thriller album, though some of his hits were still catchy and while I still liked the songs, I wasn't moved enough to buy anything... But this is about the time a whole new generation of fans came on board - I think it was about when you embarked and I left. Anyway, I enjoyed reading your connection growing up with Michael Jackson.
