That was serious business.<BR/><BR/>I also remember the controversy over MTv when it first came out--not all my friends were allowed to watch it. What was that about?Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552625379617724485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010235121801086626.post-39593157941014407142009-03-09T18:00:00.000-04:002009-03-09T18:00:00.000-04:00I wasn't so much trying to diss Micheal or his mus...I wasn't so much trying to diss Micheal or his music, but rather state that as an 18 year old guy raised on the Eagles, Southern Fried Rock, and Country, Mike was a little off my radar. I remember "Billy Jean" on FNV, but can't say I cared much one way or another.Scopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671603955380819514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010235121801086626.post-44126829218793069692009-03-09T16:41:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:41:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry you missed it.

I remember how important those TV special events were when I was a kid....like the year I pitched a huge temper tantrum in Hyannis b/c we wouldn't be home in time for Charlie Brown Christmas, and my father yelling at me that it'd be on again next year. He might as well said "It'll be on again long after you are dead". lol<BR/><BR/>I loved Friday Night Videos; I never missed it...it started when I was in college. I'm sure we saw the debut of Thriller but I don't really remember for sure. <BR/><BR/>Although I do wonder...your brother carved out Michael's cake face around the time Michael himself started having plastic surgery. Maybe you actually had a "Michael Jackson voodoo cake" and didn't know it.<BR/><BR/>And by the way you young whipper snappers, I also remember watching TV shows that came with the tag line, "NOW IN COLOR!!!!" lolJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010235121801086626.post-70824704522825270672009-03-09T16:11:00.000-04:002009-03-09T16:11:00.000-04:00I have not seen the whole video in forever!

Still love the song though.

Everyone was trying to do the dance and there was a waiting list at the video store to rent the video when it came out. I remember the day it was our turn to rent it and all the neighborhood kids came over and we were all ogling it in my living room. I knew girls with MJ posters on their bedroom walls with lipgloss kisses speckled all over his face. If you had told me back then when MJ would become, I never would have believed you.

I spent the next year wearing my headphones and signing along to PYT.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't allowed to stay up late enough to watch FNV so I would wait until my parents went to bed and then sneak back downstairs. I would drape a blanket over the TV and myself so the light wouldn't wake anyone up.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100388190136741782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010235121801086626.post-79203051289398044562009-03-09T09:40:00.000-04:002009-03-09T09:40:00.000-04:00God, that really sucks, I don't remember knowing a...God, that really sucks, I don't remember knowing anything about this!

That was before he lost his mind and started really carving his face up so, how we were to know. <BR/><BR/>If you love him now, well....<BR/><BR/>He was a good singer and a good dancer. Too bad he evolved into a train wreck.Venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954234690814697536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010235121801086626.post-24027182902001195052009-03-09T00:20:00.000-04:002009-03-09T00:20:00.000-04:00Oh, I remember Friday Night Videos.
