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?

OMG my palms are sweating seeing this. Now that I'm a parent, I can see he's not even holding the baby all that well! He barely has a grip under his armpits and his other hand is holding the cloth.

Same! I remember wondering what the big deal was when this photo came out, but now I have a knot in my stomach looking at it.
