I was thinking about this today and the other day when I was doing research about his catalog

This is the FIRST time in my life where I've been able to buy a Michael Jackson tshirt in a store

I remember growing up and going to the bookstores, looking for books about Michael and others like Little Richard and Sammy Davis Jr, and NEVER finding anything. Well, I could find one or two about Little Richard, maybe one about Sammy, but Michael? forget about it, I would look and see shelves of Elvis, The Beatles, Hendrix, Rolling Stones and wondering why.

Then hearing my friend Chris talk about how he and his cowriter Craig were shopping their books to publishers and being turned away because "Nobody wants pro Michael Jackson books"

I went to Barnes and Noble a couple of weeks ago and seeing a full shelf for Michael. I didn't feel happy or sad, I was actually mad....

yea for real..

SCNDLS said:

well, you're not old


you look like you just graduated college Thank God you don't have the fashion sense of a 21 year old college girl

SCNDLS said:

Ain't you in your 20s or early 30s? You ain't old.

bboy87 said:

I understand that seriously. I was in a borders and noticed this as well I always had to order books about Michael.. they are in the store now

bboy87 said:

That's fucked up.

it wasnt always like that. duering the thriller era there were a million mj books.

i would go into the stores ( early 90s) and ask for mj books and i remember this lady pulled out 3 stacks of books. i nearly gasmed!

i think bad era was more magazines ( i think moonwalk book prohibited other books being made about him during that time- i dunno)

Timmy84 said:

Oh that age ain't nothing. What's with all the 30, 40-year-olds calling themselves "old", lol

tangerine7 said:

What now?!

Timmy84 said:

Huh?

tangerine7 said:

If you too young to know who he was or wasn't born yet fine but if you knew who he was and didn't pay attention to him then why start now lmao

Timmy84 said:

In comparison to all ya'll MJ fans that were toddlers when Remember the Time came out . . . we ARE.

I was with my lil cousins in the country this past weekend. The house was hot as hell and full of folks cuz it was a retirement part for my aunt. I sat down in a chair and was fanning myself and my lil 22 year old second cuzzin asked me, "Are you having a hot flash???" I almost cussed his ass out in my aunt's house.

Then we started talking about MJ and them lil fuckas were saying shit like, "We weren't even alive when that came out." Man, I felt decrepit like a mug.

Timmy84 said:

What you laughing about now timmy?

Timmy84 said:

Forget TMZ & the tabloid media. What about some members of the YouTube community that have evidence that Michael may have faked his own death?!?

Just use the YT search engine and type "Michael Jackson Faked His Own Death" and see for yourself.

bboy87 said:

Yep, that's right. Except his "This Is It" shirts online, I refuse to buy any new shirts with MJ on them (like the ones in Hot Topic and Spencer). One reason is because, like you, the emotion involved is not the same and I feel upset, and another reason is the fabric/design of those shirts feel and look too cheap for their average $20 price tag.

SCNDLS said:

But you're only a few years older. I'm sorry if I made y'all feel that way.

babybugz said:

Tangerine was doing the same thing SCNDLS was doing to my post about them not being "so old" replying with " "
