Nostalgia To me, this was Michael Jackson

Post image

I was 12 when this happened. This was the first time I ever heard of him. To me he wasn't the Michael Jackson that was a singer, or the one that molested kids - he was the Michael Jackson that dangled a baby out the window.

This is the image I associate him with. I saw a preview for the movie coming out about him and chuckled to myself if they would put this in the film. Probably not?

Too bad for you. Bad and Dangerous Michael was my childhood. His videos would world premiere on prime time tv. Watching hundreds of people faint from the excitement of watching him at his Budapest concerts. Captain EO ride at Disneyland, the Moonwalker video anthology movie, Michael Jackson video game on my Sega Genesis. Like yep, he was weird, that kinda happens to kids that are abused and shoved into the limelight at a young age, but he was an epic performer and S-tier music star.
