QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I’m a person of the arts. I love the arts very, very, very much.
And ah, I’m a musician, I’m a director, I’m a writer, I’m a composer,
I’m a producer, and I love the medium. I love film very, very much.
I think it’s the most expressive of all of the art mediums."


~ Michael Jackson

Great. Qbee did you see the making of Thriller video at the fanconvention in Vegas when Immortal was showing? I remember enjoying looking at it at that time, and seeing Michael being playful & at ease.

It is really beautiful the way Paul & Michael's voices harmonize together.

Thank you :) I was proud I was able to salvage Today in History. Not to Shabby being I only had 2 recorded entries. I just used unspecified dates for the Month of March to add to it. I should have saved some for tomorrow though, because the 15th also doesn't have any significant recorded data.

No I didn't see it while in Vegas although I was at the Fan convention and Immortal show. I also enjoy that documentary a lot of interesting facts as well a MJ being so playful and relaxed. I believe John Landis stated that documentary helped them pay for the "Thriller Short Film"

I agree Michael and Paul compliment each other very well in Both songs they did together.
