Add a QuoteEverything that I love is behind those gates. We have elephants, and giraffes, and crocodiles, and every kind of tigers and lions. And - and we have bus loads of kids, who don't get to see those things. They come up sick children, and enjoy it.
Everyone who knows me will know the truth, which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.
Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I'm crazy about her.
Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.
Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this, this isn't him. This is not him.
Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater.

Add a CommentReleased back in 1982 - "Thriller" would be the 6th studio album by American singer, Michael Jackson. It explores genres similar to Jackson's previous album, "Off the Wall" (1979), including pop, post-disco, and funk.
In just over a year, "Thriller" became the world's best-selling album, having sold an estimated 66 million copies. It is the 2nd-best-selling album in the U.S.A., behind the Eagles' album "Greatest Hits" (1971–1975).
The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards in 1984, including Album of the Year. "Thriller" broke racial barriers in pop music, enabling Jackson's appearances on MTV. The album was one of the first to use music videos as successful promotional tools. In 2003, Rolling Stone placed the album at number 20 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".

Well, what could I possibly say about Michael Jackson's "Thriller" that hasn't already been said about one-hundred times before?
There are some tunes here that I like and there are some that I don't.
"Thriller" is, of course, the album that sky-rocketed Jackson into the stratosphere of mega-stardom in the year 1982 . And there he remained (even though the ride was sometimes shaky) until he finally crash-landed in 2009.
To date about 110 million copies of "Thriller" have been sold, worldwide, making it the best-selling album of all-time..... (*Be sure to watch the "Billy Jean" music-video*)
This album was released nearly 35 years ago, and listening to it is still a thrill. Thriller is also available to stream or to download and keep (downloads are limited to 5 songs per week per library account and are restricted for some songs/albums) through Hennepin County Library's Freegal subscription; find Freegal under Online Resources.
