I sprung a crush on this girl when I first laid eyes on her. It was mainly physical; she was a cute brown African-American with puffy ridges underneath her eyes as if she hadn’t slept in a long time. Actualy meeting and conversating with her made me fall for her friendly personality too. But it was still mainly a physical, romantic, sexual thing.
I don’t think I knew she had a sister at the time, but when I met her sister; a taller, probably slightly older version of herself; I’m guessing they shared the same mother and father because they looked so much alike, right down to the sleepless eye ridges; a day or few later, I sort of developed a crush on her too. She was only slightly less attractive.
Randy must’ve told her I liked her sister, or maybe her sister told her she liked me; there was obvious chemistry between us; because she accentuated it during our conversation. There was a big social event; a weekend series of concerts and parties; coming in upper Michigan. They were all planning to vacate there. She asked if I was going too.
I said yeah. I wasn’t as excited about going. I generally try to avoid loud noises. But I figured it would be a fun experience; one that would give me more one-on-one time with her sister. She, playing the role of unresentful match-maker, apparently had the same idea. As she walked away, she made a joke about me and her sister having sex at the hotel.

Michael Jackson steps into his own spotlight with the help of Quincy Jones from the Wiz album. It’s not his solo debut, but it may as well be. The pop star is allowed artistic control of his music for the first time in his career. From the start, it’s clear the album’s main job is to get people onto the dance floor. Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, it goes, or at least until you Burn This Disco Out. It’s an all-night groovefest with funky instruments and suave falsettos.
Most of the songs deal in romantic love. Stevie Wonder provides a slinky jazz ballad about how some people Can’t Help but love other people in that way. It’s a bit of an anticlimax because the clunky chorus can’t compare to the vibe of the verses. It’s better than Paul McCartney’s submission though; a silly song entitled Girlfriend that has Michael Jackson threatening to tell her boyfriend what they’ve been doing if she doesn’t come clean on her own.
The best song is, ironically enough, the one you can’t really dance to. It’s a ballad entitled She’s Out Of My Life, about a girl who might’ve hung around after two years if only Michael Jackson had expressed to her how much he loved her. It’s a good thing there are so many other girls in the club, which seems to never stop playing Michael Jackson songs. Heartbroken or not, all the guy has to do is walk up to the next one and pull her off the wall to make her his.
