My buddy Gus said it best via e-mail: “Thriller is the only album I ever owned where I remember where I was and my reaction to hearing it for the first time. Your basement.” Of course, I e-mailed him back by joking, “That’s the first time Michael Jackson has landed in a positive story about two teenage boys and a basement in about 20 years.” But Gus was right. Before he went off the deep end, Jackson was definitely one of those rare, “I specifically remember moments of my life that he was involved in” celebrities. I’m going to miss him. I wish the 2009 NBA draft had happened on another night. Alas.
