Michael Jackson:20 years ago "Bad"

well the king of Pop's Birthday is now a few days away,but twenty years ago he was making a return with his Album "Bad" which was his follow up to his larger than Life Album Thriller. now Bad was five years later. so much had change since MichaelMania. still nothing like MichaelMania before or since. anyway that Tuesday back in 1987 when Bad dropped it was something else. I bought the Tape and Vynl. I got the last copy and I heard the clerk tell a Shopper that it was just sold and I hauled Bootay down the street. anyway the Hype and vibe was at a pitcher high. I've always been a fan and always will. the Man is a Musical Genius and threw down on Stage. when Bad came out Rap was starting to become the latest new thing, New Jack Swing was in full effect and other Popular acts and styles were in full swing,but the Prospect of a New Michael Jackson back in the day was a Major Event and the videos that therefore were forth coming were gonna be larger than life. this album marked the last time Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones worked together on a Album. in truth Michael Jackson Albums have always had a Significant part in my life. and just remembering this album and the hype still speaks volumes toward my childhood.
