Do you think Michael Jackson's Thriller video incited violence or new expressions among our (we are older now) 1980s young generation? Parents were freaking out when teenagers wanted Thriller, Thriller, Thriller merchandise. I was in Italy, cruising the Med. In every port of call, young people were dressing like Thriller Michael. The disco clubs were jamming Thriller. https://youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA?si=95KWu-OF_OhLFzl1 THRILLER VIDEO [~158798:PO2 Brandon Boucher] [~351001:PO3 Bobby Whitehouse] [~1773985:SSG Bill McCoy] [~757678:PO3 Myles Post] [~1608378:Cpl James R.

I doubt very much that sort of impact from Michael Jackson's Thriller video. What did attract people was the talent of His singing with the precise footwork and dancing added. This did draw a very large fan base which should not have been a surprise to anyone with such a display of talent and work. It seems to Me any parent that actually had issues with that may have their own problems and a complete lack of understanding of a talent display that was enjoyed by Young people that did NOT ever warrant any concern.
