We tend to forget now, after learnig waaaay toooo much about "Wacko Jacko's" eccentricities
.......... that he was a such a HUGE impact on the culture and was so extraordinarily talented.
His appearance on the Motown 25 TV Special a few years earlier
(when he first showed the world the "moonwalk") was nothing short of electrifying.

Here is one of my favorite videos from that time and from the Thriller Album.
It begins with George Wendt (from Cheers) and Macaulay Culkin (still in his Home Alone youth)
and then launches the video Black and White, that had some amazing effects, particularly for 1984.

Let's see, that happened in January 1984 so I was also 32 ..... and had already abandoned all hope of being a hot guy in any age bracket.
