Pepsi's 1984 ad featuring Michael Jackson, Carlton Banks and the Jackson Five (video)
Posted by Stephen Hammill on Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 2:28 PM
I actually remember seeing this commercial on the air as a six-year-old boy in 1984. It sparked my desire and my need to own one of those red jackets. Also appearing in the commercial is Alfonso Ribeiro, Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
If "Michael Jackson" and "Pepsi ad" sound like something you've heard in the same sentence before, you're probably recalling how in the same year, while recording a Pepsi commercial on stage in Los Angeles, Jackson was apparently seriously burned by malfunctioning equipment, which may or may not have led to some of his later plastic surgeries.

Concert Review: New York Dolls at the State Theatre
Posted by Eric Snider on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 2:13 PM
For nearly an hour last night, the New York Dolls played to type as an aging, reunited rock 'n' roll band living off their legacy: solid but not inspired, willing but a little fatigued. Then something kicked in. "Muddy Bones," from their new album Cause I Sez So, a song pulled from the early Stones playbook, seemed to energize David Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain and the other, newer, Dolls. The shoulder-to-shoulder crowd on the floor of the State Theatre picked up on it.
For the show's remaining 40-or-so minutes, the New York Dolls conjured up their rambunctious early-'70s selves, sans the drag attire and the heroin and with far better chops. Extended versions of early tunes "Jet Boy," "Personality Crisis" and "Trash" — which alternated between the early punk version and the reggae take on Sez So — brought the set to a loud, satisfying crescendo.
