Friday Fun Video: Michael Jackson Moonwalk

This week, in honor of Michael Jackson, I think that instead of something finance related, I’ll offer something more along the lines of entertainment. And there are few entertainers that rank with Michael Jackson in terms of cool and ability to wow a crowd.

I really enjoyed this basic performance of “Billie Jean”. YouTube claims its the first ever public performance of the moonwalk. Classic stuff. My friend texted me yesterday: “All of my childhood idols are dying.” (Her text made me feel old, even though I’m not.)

Maybe he wasn’t one of my idols, but Michael Jackson represents one of my first childhood memories of how enjoyable music can be. I even spent money to buy one of his albums. It was vinyl. It was Bad.
