The Michael Jackson albumThriller was released 30 years ago.
The video came out a year later. Cable TV was in its infancy, compared to today. Most TV viewers received over-the-airwaves broadcasts; even HBO was usually broadcast in metro areas. And the comparatively few people who saw music videos saw ones where th bands were playing and maybe some scantily-clad women were dancing around the musicians. The video of Thriller changed everything.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

ReplyDeleteYou think YOU feel old? Over on the Patricia Polygon blog, she's got a clip more than 40 years old of Arlo Guthrie singing Alice's Restaurant. Cripes, I remember not only when he was skinny, but when everybody in America knew — and felt, yes, felt! — exactly what he was singing about.
