Today in 1970, “ABC” by the Jackson Five was released.  Is there anyone out there that doesn’t love a good Jackson Five song?  When I was in second grade, I had to see Michael Jackson.  He was a part of the Victory Tour that year. It must have been 1984. My parents were totally into it. They flew us to Buffalo, New York. It was my first concert.  We had nosebleed seats, but I remember the experience. How amazing…to watch Michael Jackson dance. He had on his glove. I LOVED him!  He would get all caught up in the microphone cord and would do this crazy twirl to get out of it. I could see only because of a huge screen above our seats.  I also remember that we stayed in the same hotel as Michael and his brothers. The lady at the the hotel diner told me that I had “just missed him” or that “Michael Jackson had just left out the back door.”  Looking back at that now, I know there was no way the Jackson Five was staying at that same hotel… but I did believe it then, and that may have been the coolest experience my parents could have ever given me at that time in my life.  I wonder who that will be for my kids.  Justin Bieber?  Taylor Swift?  Will I be as cool as my parents were and take my kids?  What is your favorite Jackson Five memory?   First concert memory?
