What are your memories of Michael jackson?

When I was in preschool, I first heard of the legendary Michael when I came into the living room and my mother wanted me to see the Thriller video that was playing on BET. I always wondered why she would get so excited whenever that video would come on because it scared the hell out of me. I used to run out of the room when it came on. So I ociated Michael as this scary man who would come and get me in the dark (not trying to be mean or imply the allegations). But then I got over my fear of Thriller. Me and my mom would watch it every time it came on. It was like a weekend tradition because it came on every Saturday. I even borrowed a book from the Elementary school library in the first grade on Michael Jackson. The creepiest part was that I once thought Janet and Michael were boyfriend and girlfriend lol. But my most fondest memories of Michael was "erflies". Whenever that song came on the radio, I would immediately stop and sit on the floor listening to it. I wouldn't dance, but I would just sit and listen because the song was so enthralling to me. I used to to the first 21 minutes of the song because it was my favorite part. And got excited when Michael did his "erfly! Flyy-yyy-yyy" near the end of the song. It'll always be my favorite next to Earth Song because no matter how upset or angry I am, when I listen to Earth Song I become quiet and reflect on my life. I didn't know why, but that song always makes me happy and doesn't let me think of the awful things in my life.
