RIP: Michael Jackson & His Music
I can remember listening to Michael Jackson’s music in junior high and high school – - and how we all wondered about that white glove! In high school, I can remember slumber parties where we would wait and wait until MTV played Thriller. It wasn’t like today when we can download a video in 30 seconds any time we want — and I think it made the music and the video just a bit more special.
I confess that I haven’t thought much about Michael Jackson in the years since high school — and a quick look at my music collection showed that I don’t even own any of his music. I headed over to Amazon this morning to check out what was available for Michael Jackson and was pretty amazed to see that there 446 songs of his available for download! I read that many major retailers (even online)sold out of his music overnight — but downloads are always available.
I didn’t buy Thriller this morning, but I did buy The Way You Make Me Feel
and Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’
.
What are your favorite Michael Jackson songs?


My favorites were Billie Jean and The Way You Make Me Feel. I know what you mean about being more exciting having to wait all night to see a specific video or hear it on the radio. It was such a rush when the wait paid off!
