This was the moment Michael Jackson became the hottest person in the world. This performance exploded. We had never seen anything like it—and will never see his likes again.
After all the work—since childhood—and all the shit, Mr. Jackson, it is my hope you rest, at last, in peace.

Nope. No controversy, just mass hysteria: this marked the appearance of the Jheri-curl, the single white (sparkling) glove, the black sequins … maybe the loafers and white socks, not sure about that … the MOON-WALK, and,near immediately, the Pepsi Generation as exemplified by MJ. As well as the famous Pepsi commercial where his hair caught on fire, poor man. It was a historic moment, that night, for the world … except, apparently, for Canada, but then those narwhale-powered tv sets ran rather iffy, yes?
thanks for that. never knew anything about the dude. was there a lip-synching controversy around this?
maybe i was thinking about the hair. didn’t own a TV in the 80s, narwhal-powered or not.
I don’t know why I’m such a snot. Really I don’t. It’s a wonder anyone comments ever, at all.
I knew it was narwhal, dammit.
it’s not just anyone what comments. in my case, it is no-one.
sidebar: am i really expected to know who Billy Mays is? Huh?
Seriously.
No. No one I know need know or care who Billy Mays was, who technically should not be mentioned in same breath with MJ *or* FF. Unless you watch late night HGTV, which has so many Canada-made shows it’s not funny. I’m not fooled. I recognize the US of A. Plus it says Canada at the end.
As to Comments, I’m not sure this is the place to suggest, a blog made up solely of tweets … which any interesting ones have already been replied to … may not be the most inviting of comments. In point of fact, it may not be a *blog* at *all* … but far be it for me to say what is internet cheating. Rilly far.
p.s. is this font too small?
