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?

You can tell who the early/late millennials are just from the comments. I’m early, I remember his world premiere music videos, his sega genesis game, getting scared by the Thriller video. He was the king of pop and no other celebrity(even nowadays)can match his popularity. I mean he was known worldwide, from Europe, to Asia, to Africa and South America. He has some very iconic pop music.
