the full video, can be seen here

i had a very hard time picking a video... but i thought my experience with Thriller really summed up my childhood...

one morning on the way to leaving for school, my mother said there was a new video coming to MTV from Michael Jackson... and she thought it may be too scary for my sister and I to watch. We answered "We've already seen it!"

I was about 9, my sister 6. And a scant 6 years later my mother would have the cable disconnected because she caught me watching MTV (aka Madonna's Vogue video) after I was told that station was not aloud in the house....
