Michael Jackson: The Fro Years

I thought it fitting that we here at Frolab spray some sheen on the “pre-Jheri era” and honor the years that young Michael Jackson rocked that amazing afro.

Michael Jackson - The Fro Years, afro images

He had such a pure smile and listening to his voice over the last day reminds us that they’ll never be another! We’ve missed this version of Mike for a long time, but now, he’s really really gone but never eva forgotten. MJ’s music lives on fro evah.

Frolab presents “The Fro Years” – a desktop wallpaper of young Michael Jackson images highlighting his iconic afro.

We watched Mos Def watch tv on ustream Friday night, and channel flipping inevitably ended up on the DualSaw commercial starring Billy Mays. This was at like 5am on DeLaSoul’s dugout on and now today we hear the Oxiclean spokeman is no longer with us. Billy Mays dead at 50. R.I.P. (lots of oxygen in heaven.)
