Ebony

Ebony Magazine, in August of 1985, published an article about what stars of the time might look like in the year 2000.  Michael Jackson, who was at the top of the world at the time, was one of the featured stars.  The photo features what the King of Pop would look like at the age of 40.  Were they correct?  Let's just say the folks at Ebony were not psychics.

Some how with all of the hurricane coverage, this little story must have slipped by me, but WOW! Federal Agents raided Gibson Guitar manufacturing facilities in Nashville, and Memphis Tennessee under suspicion of Gibson importing illegal hardwoods.  Federal authorities confiscated over a million dollars in wood... or STOLE it, depending on who you ask.
