I was 13 when Charlies Angels debuted, the same age as my son is today. On the wall next to my bed was this poster. Thank you Farrah Fawcett. We miss you.
I was in college when Michael Jackson’s Thriller was released. MTV was still new and was a mainstay in dorm rooms around the country. The music video Thriller was promoted for weeks, and the anticipation of it’s release was incredible. Thriller did not disappoint. MTV must have played it multiple times an hour for weeks on end. Michael Jackson–thank you for the memories.

Dan,
We also lost Ed McMahon this week.
It was unimaginable that two popular culture icons would fall in the same day. I had the poster. I had Wednesday nights covered for those 3 girls. I am not sure if I owner Thriller, but I know every Jackson 5 hit by heart.
The King of Pop and the Queen of many a 13 year old boys dreams.
A moment of silence and an atemmpted moonwalk are in order.
