Jermaine Jackson


Michael Jackson’s dirty Diana came on the radio this morning on the car ride home.

Me:  Dirty Dianniii, oh!

Chris:  It’s close man.  Close.

Me:  Ever have an album?  Like an actual album, not a CD or an MP3 or a tape but an actual vinyl album that goes in a record player with the needle and the spinning?

Chris: Yeah, yeah of course I’ve had some albums.  I didn’t collect them or anything.  I preferred tapes but I had a couple.

Me:  Yeah?  What was your first album?

Chris:  Actually… it was Jermaine Jackson.

Me: Jermaine?

Chris:  Yeah bro.  I used to see the Jackson Five on TV and thought that was the greatest thing in the world to me to see brothers performing on stage.  My brother and I both sang and he always kind of wanted to be the leader so he took Michael and Jermaine was the only brother that did his own thing so I chose Jermaine.

Me:  Mine was Thriller.

Chris:  Aw man, that was the best one.  That one was my favorite.  You know, I originally got Jermaine’s album just because, but I ended up just falling in love with his music. Jermaine Jackson… Man, brings me back.
