Erratum of the Day: On July 17, 1969, a day following the launch of Apollo 11 from the Kennedy Space Center, The New York Times issued a retraction of an article printed 49 years earlier, which ridiculed Prof. Robert H. Goddard, a pioneer in the field of rocketry, for claiming that space flight was possible.

Other than the end of the memorial where there was a spotlight on an empty mic stand and I legitimately thought there was a 50/50 chance Michael was going to pop out of the casket and perform, this was the best part of the show.

Hell yeah, Wayne! High five! The Great One indeed. This is my new favorite image. This level of hubris is unsurpassed.
Never Before Seen Footage of the Day: Terrifying behind-the-scenes video from the infamous 1984 Pepsi commercial shoot, during which Michael Jackson’s hair caught on fire, was released today by Us Magazine.
Us explains the significance of this tragic accident:
To relieve the second and third-degree burns on his scalp and body (and later to help him tolerate multiple surgeries on the scorched spot on his head), Jackson was prescribed several medications — which kicked off his addiction to painkillers and obsession with plastic surgery, multiple sources tell Us.

The demo version of “Billie Jean”. I think this is a true testament to Mike’s musical genius. This was the version that was played to Quincy Jones. Quincy spiced it up a bit, but not by much.
Guy takes flyers from the street, graphically jazzes them up, and then puts the new ones where he found the originals. Pretty awesome.
Awesome piece of design.

If you need me, I’ll be enjoying a wine cooler at the bar with Bruce and these lovely ladies.
This just made my day. The ukelele version of “The Emperor’s March” really tied this whole clip together.
Guy’s just chillin’.
