Back in January 1984 .... Michael Jackson was perhaps the hottest, no pun intended, performer on the planet.
The album THRILLER was well on its way to becomingthe best selling album of all time and PEPSI had just
signed Michael for a huge endorsement contract.
While filming a commercial that was to have debuted at the February 1984 Grammy Awards **
television broadcast, an accident with the pyrotechnics set Michael's hair on fire
and sent him to the hospital with serious burns.
** Thriller won 7 Grammy Awards, and an incredible 7 of the 9 songs on the album were top 10 singles. The videos were phenomenally successful too.

p.s. Our Critterville version of Kenny Chesney will be okay .... in Critterville, no one ever suffers, with the possible exception of the N.Y. Yankees.

So, in the aftermath of this tragedy, I guess we can expect Kenny to undergo a long series of plastic surgeries ending up with him looking like Gary Coleman?

There's NO WAY that happened 25 years ago! My oldest keet was 1 and we were living in LA (Lower Alabama), I remember like it was last week......and now she's only......26.....um....never mind.......
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I was 12 when that happened in 1984.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Love the good old wax soda cups. Brings back memories of being at the ballfield and drinking "suicides" which were a combination of whatever soft drinks they had on tap (pepsi, grape, dr. pepper, slice for instance)
Oh well, at least none of Kenny's hair was burned!
