These photos were taken at Knotts Berry Farm in March 1984. I was sitting on the curb with Corie and Stacie was in her stroller, Chuck had to use the men's room. I heard a loud commotion and looked up to see Michael Jackson coming towards me with a few bodyguards and a small crowd following behind him. As he walked by, I said to him "hi Michael" and he waved and said"Hello", by now Chuck had come out and I told him what had just happened. I told him you watch the kids, I'm going to try and get some photos of him. I have loved his music since I was a young girl, The Jackson 5 and the Osmonds were my generations Beatles and Elvis Presley. Do I think his behavior was odd, yes, but I never thought he was guilty of improper behavior with children, I think his strange upbringing denied him of a "Normal" childhood and therefore he never really ever grew up and therefore acted in a childish manner. As the news came forth of his passing today, I was deeply saddened as another Celebrity has left this earth prematurely.

I'm struggling to find words...So I don't know what to write??? lol!...That's sad about michael Jackson, maybe he'll be at peace now, what a life to have lived. I felt sorry for him and I do agree he was a bit odd but I think that's all he knew to be...the price you pay for fame and fortune, sometimes it doesn't seem worth it......hugs, Jennifer
I hope little miss c is feeling better real soon... I finally found words!! my post is done. I would like your opinion...hugs, Jennifer
OMG!
You are so lucky to have been so close. I have my original "ABC" albumn that I babysat for weeks to pay for. I too have followed him since Jackson 5, then my son followed him right into "Thriller", and even then his kids into songs today. 3 generations in my family. Thanks for stopping by Country Wings in Phoenix, so happy you enjoyed the post. "Country Hugs", Sherry
Yesterday was such a sad day with the loss of two such well known figures and such a part of entertainment history. I found your blog from another Zoni's place. I live in the desert too. It is so nice to meet some fellow bloggers. Hugs, Marty

I had a random sighting of Michael too back in the early 80's. Guess where? Disneyland!
Wow this is amazing. I have been trying for YEARS to find more pics of Michael Jackson at Knotts Berry Farm because I was there that day on March 30, 1984. I was on a school field trip and we were walking with him.. we are the crowd walking with him that you mentioned. I would love to see more pics if you have any. Thanks
