Remembering the Moonwalker
Poll Fave MJ/QJ single
I had to make the poll question that narrow, because when I started looking at the singles discography, I was like, um, okay, I'm not typing in that many poll options, and Bad is a good place to stop. 1988 is the year I went to college, so I sort of left Michael before his tabloid troubles got really bad. Because of that (and very little access to television during that time), I primarily remember his extraordinary peak, and, while I do respect the perspectives of those who feel differently, I'm good with that.
There's a lot I could write, but right now it feels like half the world's web pages are about Michael Jackson; I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. I feel sad about it for a variety of reasons, but I'll keep things simple and leave it at his music, above.
Speaking of that, I went to the basement to try to excavate my cassette of Thriller. I couldn't locate it, but I did find this. For my younger readers, that's a vinyl 45. :)
As for Farrah Fawcett, the primary memory I have of her is as a poster on the wall of a beach house where my family once stayed when I was very young. I suspect the room (and the poster) belonged to the teenaged son of the family that owned the place.
