...just want to get back quickly to "I'll Be There." What sort of associations did you have with that song? What did it mean to you? I just remember being young, loving that song, starting to get interested in girls; it was just that period of time. And here's the thing that I remember: growing up, as far as girls, everybody didn't like Michael.
