9/10/2013 I remember MichaelingHowever, did we manage to do the Michaeling thing in 1983? Come to think of it, Michaeling, 30 years later, has become quite digital, hasn't it? As in all the stuff we used to do we 'abandoned' that and we're stuck 'on line'. We gather piccies we pluck from forums, facebook, photo sites. We share them on FB and on MJ forums. We read about Michael on line in MJ forums, news sites and FB. We watch MJ videos on You tube and Vimeo. We can make them and share them too. We listen to Michael on MP3, I Tunes, You tube, MJ forums, MJ radios and CD's playing on our computers. We share our memories on forums and chats. For the 'fossil' loyal fans including yours truly, we have made quite a change in how we do our 'MIchaeling', right? I remember being sweet for hours just scrap booking piccies and news articles of Michael. Now, they seem like bygone glories. I remember listening to Michael's music on Vinyl, cassette and later CD. I dragged my walk man's, portable CD players everywhere with me. I still got my MP3 Man with me. I remember spending hours writing to pen pals by hand and then waiting in line in the post office to get that letter overseas. When the postman came, you always looked out for a letter with gorgeous foreign stamp. I remember watching Michael's latest video on TV seeing it climb the charts and I watched "Black or White" each time it was on Number ONE, like a GOOD mantra. I remember hearing the news on Michael on TV and reading the newspapers and pop magazines. Only in 1994, I joined a fan club with a fanzine and stuff. It wasn't till 2001, I joined a MJ forum. I remember watching vids over and over again till they wore out on the huge TV screen in the family room and then later on the tiny screen crammed in your room. Was the change for the better? Well, all changes bring sacrifices and good things too. We have the world in our pocket now. The latest news in a minute! We take for granted that we talk to friends across the globe just by typing words into a chat. We've come far, have we? Daz. Comments are closed.
