Man in the Mirror
Jun. 26th, 2009 11:36 amDad had the record - Thriller when we were in India. The record cover just looked so cool. We would hear his music ever so often! But it was at 13 that reminds me of Michael Jackson much more.
We were 13 years old. Our school in Rome participates in Earth Day every year. For that year we put on a show. We had multiple information booths plus a show! Each class had a performance to put on showcasing issues facing the world. Our class wanted to be cool and we picked Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror song as the music during our performance. We all were dressed in tight pants, jackets, hair down (more looking like the Jets in West Side Story..but yeah...). The story we told of was one of our classmates acting out all the things bad for the environment and the rest of us came out snapping our fingers like Michael, walking around convincing him to make the change! And miraculously of course, the classmate does! ;)
Anytime I hear Michael Jackson's name, I remember that song. It introduced me to the world of MJ! What a trajic story his turned out to be. May he now finally rest in peace!
