MJ Facts
July 10th, 2009
The first album I owned was Thriller. I was 6. I don’t remember where it came from, but it was mine, and I was fairly certain Beat It was the coolest thing in the world. I didn’t understand what Billy Jean was about. At that time.
It was a white cassette tape with screen printed letters that made for a muddy brown track listing. I figured out that I could take the little boombox outside. I could listen to Thriller and climb trees at the same time. To my parents credit, that was allowed. A psychedelic trip, for sure.

We had Thriller on vinyl, and listened
to it on our Fischer-price record player.
