Love / RIP / Video "Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see."

There are two times in my childhood I remember being inexplicably attracted to a man in a way my very innocent mind didn't yet understand. The first was David Bowie in Labyrinth. Even at the age of seven, I knew those tights were sexy. The second was Michael Jackson covering of the Beatles' "Come Together" in Moonwalker. I had heard the song over and over again (both my mom and dad are big Beatles fans), but that song was never so electric, never so hot, until I saw Michael Jackson perform it.

I have different MJ faves. Yestiddy someone posted the moonwalk lip-sync debut as an awesome memory, and I remember being soooo sad when I saw it on live teevee that night, and noticing the audience also quieted waaaaay down when they realized he wasn't bothering to sing for them. I know it was just what a lot of people wanted from him, but not me.

And now this one, which to me represented everything that started to go wrong with MJ's production values around this time - overblown, terrible hairdos for everyone, substituting for the original's sly mojo with broad gestures and a making-a-poopy expression. Again, though, I'm happy it makes someone happy!
