jcollie719 | This Note's For You

Logging onto Twitter earlier, I noticed several links posted to the long-unseen footage from Michael Jackson's 1984 Pepsi ad where his hair caught fire. This ad was one of the memories mentioned following Jackson's death, and it reminded me of another video which spoofed it. Neil Young did a parody of the hair-burning incident for his song "This Note's For You," Young's protest against rock and pop stars "selling out." MTV refused to air the video due to fears of copyright infringement, but it was named Best Video at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards. (Ironically, MTV's web site was the only place I could find the video.)
