Music

Micheal Jackson is one of the major pop icons of the 1980's. That also happens to be one of my favorite time periods where music is concerned. I have many fond memories of my childhood in the 80's. For example, my mother was an arobics instructor for the Richard Simmons Academy Asylum. I was in the gym's small play room with babysitters, and I heard Michael Jackson's hit song "Beat It" pounding through the ceiling. I started dancing to it along with a few other kids in the play room. I used to have babysitters come to my house and the first thing they ran to was the t.v. set. MTV was pretty popular at the time and one of the first music videos I ever saw was Michael Jackson's "Thriller." I was scared by it at first, especially when he turned into a werewolf! Now, when I see the videos and hear the songs, I am reminded of my childhood.
