Yes, but those fans became largely invisible.  They were not fashionable. 
They were mocked.  Then we he died, we allowed them to come out of the 
closet (so to speak) and suddenly, it was perfectly acceptable to like 
Michael Jackson once again.

oh, I began wondering when you posted that wikipedia article about 
poison.  Now this.  I see some sick connection there.  Hope your 
chemestry skills are as good as your social skills. :)

MJ is the essence of the 1980's.  Guess what, those who were teens back 
then are the leaders of the world today.  Things we loved in our youth 
continue with us for all life.  Those people set the trends and the 
trend is a 80's flashback.

After the successful "That's 70's show" TV show, the producers decided 
to pursue "That's 80's show" but alas it was too early (besides 80's 
were never as fun as the 70's).  Had it popped in right after MJ's 
death, it'd likely be huge.

FWIW, I _still_ don't like Michael Jackson. Even if he *is* dead. :-P

I did not know that he died last year.

There is a similarity in the colour of our hair. I went white young. LOL

I didn't either.

LOL; I had lunch with someone yesterday who claimed that I've got hair 
going grey.  I'm blond, so it'd be hard to tell, but I may have to ask 
Amy to check. :-)
