Love Rock With You...I was 7 when Off the Wall came out and we played it non stop on my Batman record player loud as it would go. Can still see my mom dancing in the kitchen thinking she was cool. Then Thriller appeared and Billie Jean was plastered on radio, MTV, the news...the type of mass pop culture that doesn't happen now...weird to think about how we practiced moonwalking by the reflection in the fridge, and how important it seemed...In my teens I switched over to thrash metal and alcohol, but always kept the love for MJ. To me he evokes (I guess ironically) a time of childhood innocence and magic. The music is still great. What a phenom...interesting to hear he's still around
