Ok, I know the coverage has been overkill, but we all have our own memory of the King of Pop. For whatever reason, the memory that sticks out for me is when "Thriller" came out. I wasn't really into the music, but I liked the video of Thriller (MTV back then was really big). So, I'd wait and tape it using this thing called a VCR. I was so excited once I got it taped. I would then watch the video a few times and forgot about it.
But the point of the story is that MJ represented a period in our country of generational changes, very much like today. Now it's the iPhone that your kids know more about than you do; back then it was the VCR. And MJ was part of that - he defined it.
Who will be our MJ of this generation and the next?
RIP ... Michael Jackson
