i want you back (again)
I’m reposting last November’s Thanksgiving family video, a remixed version of the Jackson Five’s “I Want You Back,” in honor of MJ’s death today.
Not that five white kids in wigs can do this justice (the song’s magic), but here we are, and so it goes:
Favorite song or memory?

Wow. We never do that at Thanksgiving.
I remember learning how to moonwalk in my 6th grade jazz dance class… and around the same time? Was it? confiscating my little brother’s MJ tapes b/c I thought he was a bad influence. (I should note, in my questionable defense, that I was not allowed to listen to Madonna, so I was practicing the same violence on him that my parents practiced on me!)

I think Rolyat holiday posts are some of my favorite memories, though I’m not even present to enjoy the festivities. :-)

Jessica, no Madonna, wow! That must be why you’ve turned out so well :) Thanks, Mica, these are some of my favorites too.
What’s incredible is that the Brooklyn streets in my neighborhood are filled with his music today, and people are sitting on cars or dancing, listening to “Thriller” over and over…

Oh please… I hoarded Madonna. … I’ve heard about the MJ in NYC phenomenon, it’s not like that here in Buffalo (Buffalo takes everything in stride– layoffs, blizzards, deaths– unless it has to do with football or hockey). It sounds like something v memorable to experience.
