... I was mesmerized by Thriller the first time I watched it ... like the kids in Zaire...
... My classmate Nouriligne, wearing the red jacket, impressed our gym class with the moonwalk
... Monsieur Billat had our class translate the lyrics of Beat it into french
... We spent our summer nights watching old videos of Jackson 5 at my paternal grandparents' home ... with Uncle B (now gone) and my cousins
... Our nanny H, like Billie Jean, was certain she would marry Michael Jackson one day
... My siblings and I made a pact to call Michael Jackson "Michael Jackson" unlike all the other riff-raffs who insisted on calling him "Michael"
... My Ivorian friend and I debated over the lyrics of Black or White
The years are gone leaving their memories behind. Thanks for the soundtrack of our memories!
