I discovered Michael Jackson when I was six, just before the release of Thriller. The night the album was released, my dad took me to my first midnight release at a record shop, because I'd been saving my allowance for that LP for a month. I think I listened to that record at least three times a day for about eight months. He was my second-ever crush. And he just seemed to keep getting better, for years and years. He was truly an artist, the likes of which we'll never see again.
