This video is currently unlisted but through you might like to see it early.It's a partner video with a channel called Bobby Fingers. Bobby makes overly good dioramas of recent moment in pop culture history. I think the videos are amazing, but be warned they are for an adult audience. https://www.youtube.com/@bobbyfingersBobby gives away his dioramas so I thought I'd give away the contents of the pin board to the first person to ask me for it in a public space. This video is your head start. I think my next official public event is the Royal Society thing on 22 March.

Was Michael Jackson's hair catching fire during a Pepsi ad the exact mid-point of his life?

Do check out Bobby's video. It's a work of art. But be warned: it contains adult themes and some strong language. So if you watch my videos with young people, maybe watch Bobby's another time. I think this is the original claim that it was the mid-point of his life. From April 2019. https://www.mjjcommunity.com/threads/unusual-michael-jackson-coincidence-how.142918/ Here is the quote about the time of day his hair caught fire: "at the Shrine Auditorium Friday night" https://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/01/28/Michael-Jackson-hospitalized-after-fireworks-mishap-on-set-of-Pepsi-commercial/9136444114000/ Here is the regulation governing daylight saving time in Indiana when Michael JAckson was born: 1957: "The General Assembly votes to make Central time the official time of the state but permit any community to switch to daylight-saving time during the summer." https://eu.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2018/11/27/indianapolis-indiana-time-zone-history-central-eastern-daylight-savings-time/2126300002/ This website claims Gar did switch to daylight saving in 1958, specifically: "27 Apr 1958 - Time Zone Change (CST → EST)" but I'm not sure where that information has come from. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/usa/indianapolis?year=1958 Huge thanks to my Patreon supports who keep in strings and pins.
