Lorca: Will You Be There?

School Shows

A student named Angel wrote this great argument about how Michael Jackson is the best dancer there ever was. It got me thinking how fantastic it is that a 4th grader in 2012 is a Michael Jackson fan. It also reminded me of one of my favorite commercials of all time, where a little kid dressed like Michael Jackson leads a bunch of other kids dancing down the street to Billie Jean riffs until they run into the real Michael Jackson. Which of course makes everyone want to drink Pepsi.

The commercial was originally aired in 1984 when I was 2, but I remember it because they replayed it later when Alfonso Ribeiro became famous for being in Silver Spoons.

If you are Angel’s age, that last sentence made no sense to you.

Alfonso also played the character Carlton in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. If you are Angel’s age you might be familiar with the star of Fresh Prince, Will Smith, but probably you are more familiar with Willow Smith who whips her hair back and forth.

I cannot wait to get back to rehearsal.
Until then, I will hold my thoughts like the River Jordan.
