I’ve Waited 25 Years To See This

There were lots of rumors and lots of conjecture when this event happened and now we can finally see the footage.  In 1984, while filming a commercial for Pepsi, Michael Jackson was injured when pyrotechnics lit his hair on fire.  This apparently is the event that led to his initial use (and abuse) of painkillers.

You have to admit, even with his hair on fire, that’s one bad-ass spin.

Song of the Moment

The Jacksons, minus Jermaine, who was the first to go solo.  The sound effects are overdone, but it’s a great song and great video.

MJ

Motown’s 25th anniversary special.  A legend is born.
