Michael Jacksons Burning Hair Video

CNN's Anderson Coopers Show this morning is running a video of Michael Jackson's hair on fire during the shooting a Pepsi Commercial in 1984, im sorry with all respect to the late, that video is hilarious! I cant help but laugh at what too much grease on the hair and some side show sparks can do.


On Michael Jackson's autopsy its amazing how despite having so much money, fame and opportunity Michael Jackson had to use a generic drug Propofol (a form of Diprivan) which is an aesthetic drug used in operative surgery to induce sleep. Michael had to be literally knocked out in order to sleep. Is that not sad and definately a lesson to all of us fame,riches ,money is not everything.

'We Had Him' The Poem By Maya Angelou

Without Doubt the poem "We Had Him" written By Maya Angelou and Performed by Queen Latifah at Michael Jackson's (MJ'S) memorial at Staples Center LA yesterday is a masterpiece and one of Maya's best piece to be relished for times indefinite.

For a full script(text) of the poem, here goes:

Beloveds, now we know that we know nothing
Now that our bright and shining star can slip away from our fingertips like a puff of summer wind

Without notice, our dear love can escape our doting embrace,sing our songs among the stars and and walk our dances across the face of the moon

In the instant we learn, that Michael is gone we know nothing
No clocks can tell our time and no oceans can rush our tides
With the abrupt absence of our treasure

Though we Are many, each of us is achingly alone
Piercingly alone
Only when we confess our confusion can we remember that he was a gift to us and we did have him

He came to us from the Creator, trailing creativity in abundance
Despite the anguish of life he was sheathed in mother love and family love and survived and did not more than that

He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style
We had him
Whether we knew who he was or did not know, he was our's and we were his
We had him


Beautiful, delighting our eyes
He raked his hat slant over his brow and took a pose on his toes for all of us and we laughed and stomped our feet for him

We were enchanted with his passion because he held nothing
He gave us all he had been given

Today in Tokyo, beneath the Eiffel Tower, in Ghana's Blackstar Square, in Johannesburg, in Pittsburgh, in Birmingham, Alabama and Birmingham England, we are missing Michael Jackson

But we do know that we had him
And we are the world.

Interesting,Beautiful,Marvelous Piece! Maya(link to official site) is a gift for certain and her poem captured the mood of millions of Michael Jacksons fans. A reminder of how fleeting life is sometimes what remains is to reminisce about lost chances. We had him......
