I wasn’t aware that some people didn’t know about the accident that occured during the filming of Michael Jackson’s 1984 Pepsi commercial. I’m referring, of course, to when his hair caught on fire due to a pyrotechnic explosion. This was the start of the king of pop’s addiction to painkillers.

Some people don’t dig it.

Personally I’m at my most happiest going 200 with my hair on fire. To know that I can control something that’s out of control.

That’s how I get my kicks..
