I am really quite upset by this. I guess I must be old, but I remember how excited my sister and I were waiting for the first full transmission of the Thriller video on the tv.

He was an intrinsic part of, well, most of my life really. Always there. I was never the mega-fan but loved his stuff in the 80s - and still do.

Bollocks to anyone raking over his private life on a day like this. The man was immense, and there will be many other days apart from this one to tear his memory to shreds.

RIP King of Pop.

Ah yes. BBC1, December 2, 1983. OK, I had to look up the date, but clearly remember the anticipation and excitement throughout the UK at the time, and just being in complete awe at how movie-like it was.
