Takes all kinds.

still kinda sad

This is one of the few reasonable (albeit fairly angry) tributes I've seen to MJ that didn't strictly consist of clips of his videos and performances. (Which do speak a lot for themselves, I must admit.)

and by the way

Here's the person who deleted my entry to the McAuley page.

MJ

The first tape I ever owned: Dangerous. I asked my mom to get it for me, and she brought home (from the grocery store) Thriller. I was devastated (What did I know?) because I really, really wanted to be able to listen to "Black or White" (Shocker.) whenever I wanted to. Mom exchanged it for me.

update (9:06 pm): For the record I had never seen this video until just now. No cable in our house in the 1990s, no MTV. This is one of the most WHAT. things I have ever seen.

Wiki-FuckingWithia

In response to a really cool presentation on using wikis in the classroom by one of the other teachers in my class, I added myself to McAuley's wikipedia page. Wonder how long it will last.
