Actually, I picked it up yesterday at one of my favorite stores, Target. Had to! As I said in a previous post, I’ve always been more of a Janet fan, so I have most of her stuff.
In all reality, Thriller was my first tape ever. I remember having it; I just don’t remember asking for it(sidenote: Madonna’s Like a Virgin is the first tape I remember actually asking for). My first piece of music. My dad lent it to a friend of his and that friend never returned it. This friend wasn’t one that stuck around for years; he was around and then he was just gone. Still remember his name. And, I never replaced it until yesterday.
This was all they had in stock, but the young lady who asked me if I needed help said they’d be getting more MJ stuff next week. I’m good with this. I don’t need to get every album, though I think I might pick up Off the Wall. I’m not going to link anything else other than the Target link above ’cause if you all want your Michael Jackson you’re gonna’ go and get it.

Michael was a legend, and the world is a much more joyous place because of his music.
I got to see him shopping once, and he bought a Green Goblin statue:

Godspeed Michael, the music will live forever.

Thanks for you comment. Yes, he really did touch ALL our lives and so many of us of different generations feel like and can say we “grew up” with him. That’s testament to his affect, appeal, and legacy.
And on a sidenote, I’m a comic book/superhero-head, too!
