Oh, how I loved that album and MJ himself. I had a poster of him on my wall for the next year or so and I remember gazing at the pictures inside that album cover countless times (loved the one of him with the tiger cub), as well as trying to memorize the lyrics to the songs. Weren't the lyrics printed on the paper wrapping that that held the record itself, or on a paper insert that went into the pocket with the record? Gosh, that was so long ago! The ending part of Thriller (where the man in the creepy voice comes on and talks about dead people) used to scare me, so I wouldn't always play that part. I don't know what happened to my copy of that record (probably sold at a garage sale for 25 cents or something), but I'll always remember receiving it and how much I enjoyed it. I also remember buying the cassette tape of MJ's album "Bad" a few years later and being just as delighted with that. I don't know where that tape went, either, but I bought his "HIStory" CD in college and all of his great songs are on there.I know MJ was an odd person, but I sure loved his music (still do) and am sad about his passing.

I am also sad about him dying. Do you remember how we would soap up one of our hands so it was really lathered and say "look at our Michael Jackson glove" I don't remember if that was you and I or Les and I. So funny!
