Sure, but those of us a few years ahead of your Dad's generation are the ones who 'put Michael on the map'. Bc we were out at work and had much greater spending power than the teenagers.
Just to be clear, I didn't buy any of Michael's records until after he died (apart from Can You Feel It) but it was my contemporaries who were out there buying J5 / Jacksons / Michael from day dot. I couldn't go into a house without being dragged in front of the tv to watch some random section of Moonwalker. A car going down the street blasting Michael Jackson? That wasn't teenagers, they were too young to drive. Michael blasting out of every other house on the street? That was us. At least, it was where I come from. I mean, tbf, you would hear James and Funkadelic and Parliament as well. But lots and lots and lots of Michael. I never really liked OTW which was a shame bc, by god, I got to hear it
endlessly just walking down the street, lol.
Not having a go, btw, but I've gotta stand up for my people, lol. That was us. We did that.
<starts singing The Who>
Can you remember which BWT shows your Dad went to? Did he do any BWT 1987?
