I was around when Michael Jackson was in his heyday. The early eighties. Probably unlike a lot of the posters here whom are probably much younger than I am. I had a Michael Jackson coat, Thriller on VHS (I had to buy the VHS version because we didn't have MTV then), a two-disc record set of Michael Jackson narrates Steven Speilberg's story of ET.

However, I went to a redneck school and all of the older kids there used to say very unflattering things about Michael Jackson. I really got crucified in my choral class one day for wearing a Michael Jackson t-shirt. The things that that eighth-grader said to me over wearing a Michael Jackson t-shirt (when I was in the fifth grade) should have put him on trial.
