Drive carefully.

That geek guy is turning into a regressive progressive. Is there recourse?
He could become a recursive subversive.
Looking at him crossly seems to work.
Aren’t you Amish up after your bedtime? You need your sleep, you have a barn to put up tomorrow.
I am impervious. I am in mourning for Michael Jackson. Seriously.
We grew up with Jackson Geek.
When I was in third grade our “band” “put on a show” for our parents and grandparents. Dancing and singing along to “ABC” was the show stopper.
In high school “Off the Wall” was the soundtrack (along with the Commodores) to our first basement boy/girl parties with slow dancing and spin the bottle.
It is a sad day for me too.
It’s being said, the Gen Xer’s have now had their first taste of real celebrity mortality.
I cried for Elvis at a young age of 7. Today I shed a tear for the Elvis of my generation.
Well Geek, it’s kind of a similar fate. Elvis was reduced to a lounge act really, that people made fun of, and then he died. AND IT WAS BIG, and has rekindled all the energy he enjoyed in those 60’s. The Gloved One too..lots of jokes, working on a comeback, and it is JUST AS BIG. My difference is peer group loss–I was only a fan for the early stuff–but that was our early 45s playing in “Battle of the Giants” on a local radio station. But we got older, he got stranger, and his following I couldn’t even begin to identify. It’s those youthful songs, transistor radio, TigerBeat magazine, and basement parties of tween years that become the reflection of “oh shoot, that bucket list may just get priortized”, because the next generation is us front and center. Sad, tragic passing.
So true Joanne. MJ was my generation’s Elvis. It’s truly a sad and shocking loss.
