“Annie are your OK?  Are you OK Annie?  Annie are you OK?  Are you OK Annie?

That’s so funny, I’ve never heard that ever before.

That song is where I started hating Michael Jackson.  OK, I never actually hated him.  I just felt bad for him.  So completely incomplete, despite all the world had to offer.  He wasn’t even happy in his own skin.

When I was a kid we had two channels.  TWO.   And neither of those were the station that carried Friday Night Videos.  So, the night of the big Thriller video premier on Friday Night Videos that started at 10:30 I believe.  We had to go to my Grandmother’s house, that had cable.  She lived nearly an hour away.   Just so we could be among the first to watch it.  My brother was the music fan of our family.  The rest of us enjoyed it, but my brother LOVED it.  I know I’m one of three people in the world who was amused by Ishtar, but that was my brother and his friend Rob.  Sometimes I think I might go look up that movie so I can relive it, but I think we’ll leave it as a happy memory.

We stayed at Grandma’s until the Thriller video came on, not realizing it would be 23 minutes long and not the first thing they played that night.  Yikes, luckily we were young, and it was Friday night.  Although I’m quite sure Grandma thought we were crazy watching zombies dancing in the streets.

I hope that Michael finds in death what he was unable to find in life.  Peace.
