“Thriller” was the first album my Mom (R.I.P. 01/19/09) got for me when I was a kid, yesterday was a sad day for me.
Rest in peace.

His music was really good when the Jacksons first came out. Poor guy he really had a screwed up life, and it made him a screwed up adult. But I appreciate his talent and all he gave his fans. May he rest in peace, at least I hope so?
Oh yes

Thriller was a great album and the dancing that Michael did was outstanding to say the least.
A very cute blog...from finding your inner child.

I think a more correct title would be:
“Adults shouldn’t forget inner child (unless your name is Michael Jackson)”
Remember your staement, in the article about finding your inner child. I thought that it was so funny!!! Had to use it here.
To good to pass up! Hope you don’t mind Steve. From Hope

I lost all respect for him when he became white. I hope Comedy Central will play the Mr. Jefferson episode of South Park.

I grew up with the Jackson’s. My younger sister has the biggest crush on Michael, afterall, he was her age. His life was very tragic, and very gifted. I feel he was robbed from having a real childhood and that lead to his adult problems. With that said I did enjoy his music and his talent.
WHY???

Why wasn’t there an article about Farrah Fawcett’s passing in the Statenews? She was the most remembered Charlies Angel, and she stared on the series for just one season. I bet that she is the angel most remembered because of her bathing suite poster. Boy did the young men own that poster, back then!!!
