Born in 1955, so you're 6 years and a few months older than me. And yes, I have respect for my elders. Was taught that when I was just a little tyke.

"Beat it" by Michael Jackson came out on the 21st of February 1983, two years before I was born. But did anyone from that era notice anything peculiar during the video?
