Well when i was a kid, one of the very first presents i ever remember getting from santa was a cassette tape player and a cassette from the Jackson 5 .... I realy wanted a Leggo pirate ship but pretended to love the tape and player anyhow.
Who doesnt pretend to love a gift! .... So over the years i got to love to J's music, all of them, MJ, J5, JJ, well except for LJ, she was weirder than MJ.
Well regardless, when i hit the age of about 10, dad, who was the CEO of a world wide toy company in its Australia area, gave me a gift he got from some guy he met.
Aparently some singer come out to Australia for a music tour and his toy line "Michaels Pets" was distributed by my dads company. At the time i couldnt care less, I still wanted the lego pirate ship!
This gift dad gave me was a signed personalised cassette tape of "Bad" by MJ.
At the time i had no idea, and to be honest had no clue that he was so big, or that my dad knew the guy at the time.
Over time i grew up, enjoyed the music, realised dads gift realy was a decient gift, and i still have it. Dont worry, im not selling it on E-Bay .... A time will come when my dad will pass and memories will be all i have, and while i didnt welcome the gift at the time, i guess that just adds to the memory all the same.
Either way, thats my tear on cheek on this blog for the year but ill leave it with three songs that i do remember from the Jackson family, and yep, one of them is from the girls! No No No No not LJ .......
Ladies first .... My 90's fix
And my J5 Fix!
For my MJ fix, i wanted Black or white, but the Youtube Nazi's wont let me show it, oh internet politics, its worse than politics itself.
