[net.music] "Thriller" video

I finally saw the "THRILLER" video, but I have a couple
of questions:

	- Why was it in black & white?
	- Why was Boris Karloff hosting it?

I have seen Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video at least five times so far 
and it is in color on my television set. Also the person hosting it is
not Boris Karloff, who is probably dead now, but Vincent Price who is
still very much alive doing those hary scary commercials about kid's
games. Also the girl who stars in the video with Jackson is Ola Ray,
who was in Playboy Magazine in 1981 or something like that. I read that 
in another magazine.  Hope that answered your questions.

Correction, the THRILLER video was not black & white in any part of the
video. The man who was talking in part of the video was not Boris but
in fact was Vincent Price.

Ah, folks...

I have been reminded that when submitting a non-serious
article to the net, I should include the ":-)" sign.

When I talked about THRILLER being in b&w and hosted by
Boris Karloff, I was making a humorous reference to the
old TV show "Boris Karloff Presents Thriller."  You all
remember that show, don't you?

My apologies to those of you who now look really foolish.

Black and white?  The one I saw was most certainly in color!

I thought it was a waste of time and money...
