So we're watching VH1 "Top Songs of the 80's" and Billy Jean comes in around 4. They show the video and the cover of the album and the following dialog ensues:
Mia : "Thats Michael Jackson!?"
Me and Maki : "Yes"
Mia : "he's the guy who sings that song Smooth Criminal that I like?" (she actually prefers the Alien Ant Farm cover but knows the MJ version)
Me : "Yup"
Mia : "Michael Jackson is a brown person?" (no disrespect meant to African-Americans)
Maki and I erupt into laughter.
I guess having grown up around Michael Jackson's eccentricity I've just kind of accepted watching him grow from the talented little "brown" boy he was to the disturbing nose-less whitish thing hes become.
