0:57
what it's my second channel daily Vlog
1:00
Channel that's hot the daily wo the Walk
1:04
of Fame motos placed in the sidewalk
1:09
dedications to celebrities and those who
1:12
work in movies film radio television a
1:17
plethora of the entertainment Arts today
1:21
we're going to talk about one person in
1:24
particular that has his star engraved
1:28
right here along the Walk
1:32
of Fame the artist I am referring to you
1:35
may have heard of the King of Pop the
1:37
one in only there's that's the Capital
1:40
Records building right there a man
1:42
basically that needs no introduction
1:45
pretty much everyone in the world has
1:46
heard
1:47
of he's the brother of
1:51
Janet we're getting closer oh yeah I
1:54
think we're getting very close someone
1:57
has been kind enough to draw a pair of
1:59
eyes
2:00
on the back heiny of that bull located
2:03
smack dab on the corner of Sunset and
2:06
Vine this is a good placees any to segue
2:09
into the topic Janet Star right over
2:12
there and the
2:14
Jackson right down here it's a little
2:18
little bit of dirt from being trod on
2:21
all evening but nonetheless
2:24
impressive most impressive this is where
2:26
he got his start with his brothers kind
2:29
of sort maybe kind of the original boy
2:32
band if you will of course Michael went
2:35
on to become the most famous and most
2:37
popular of them all if you decide to
2:40
make the pilgrimage out here to
2:41
Hollywood there's a couple things you
2:43
need to know about the Walk of Fame take
2:45
a look at the emblem located here that
2:49
is a record basically symbolizing music
2:53
but some of the other stars have a
2:56
microphone which
2:58
symbolize radio personalities now with
3:01
that information firmly planted in the
3:04
old Noggin let's go look for Michael
3:06
solo star not the Jackson star but his
3:10
solo musical career star now remember
3:13
don't forget we're looking for the
3:15
appropriate emblem placed on the ground
3:18
the appropriate emblem
3:37
that's not it that's that's not the
3:37
Michael Jackson you're thinking of w w w
3:40
w you chose wrong but don't feel bad
3:43
you're not the only one when Michael
3:45
unfortunately passed away people paid
3:48
their respects nearly a hundred
3:51
congregated just like those folks are
3:54
around the incorrect
4:06
it nailed it here's a little photo I
4:06
found of that day camera angle was right
4:09
about
4:11
here and the group was surrounding it
4:14
with candles a little
4:17
vigil makeshift
4:19
Memorial paying their respects to their
4:22
Idol right
4:25
there just on the wrong Street and
4:29
totally wrong spot now I must be honest
4:32
it's a mistake anyone could made heck I
4:34
probably would have done the same thing
4:36
in all reality it doesn't matter if it's
4:39
the correct star or not if you take a
4:40
picture of it and you get that feeling
4:42
of nostalgia and you embrace the
4:44
memories that's all that really matters
4:46
the story however fascinates me how
4:49
there are two different spots and a lot
4:52
of people get confused I just walked up
4:54
Vine Street I'm turning on the Hollywood
4:57
Boulevard and heading to the correct
5:00
destination we have about a mile walk to
5:02
go was actually 9/10 from point A to
5:05
point B oh I was wondering where I could
5:08
find the world's best souvenirs I always
5:10
like this crosswalk here on the corner
5:12
of Highland cuz you can walk normally
5:16
across the road or you can go directly
5:17
through the middle through this massive
5:20
X and there's a great view of this
5:23
friendly face on November 20th
5:27
1984 thousands upon hey there's Minnie
5:31
Mouse right there she's staring at me
5:35
why don't you take a picture it'll last
5:38
longer thousands of people in 1984
5:43
congregated in front of the Chinese
5:46
Theater the actual spot where Michael
5:50
was inducted into the sidewalk and it
5:55
happened
5:57
right there on that day they placed a
6:01
barricade right here where the street
6:04
meets the curb and they had police
6:06
officers on
6:08
Horseback pushing everyone back there
6:10
were so many people stampeding trying to
6:14
get either a view and there's there's
6:16
Sylvester is that's Sylvester is that
6:20
Sylvester and Tweetybird that's it right
6:23
there that's the real deal MJ it looks
6:27
as if the awning has been replaced but
6:30
the structure of the building still
6:31
looks the same when he was elevated
6:33
there on that wooden
6:35
stage crazy to think that Michael
6:39
Jackson was standing right there and
6:41
there was a
6:42
sea of fans right here screaming and
6:46
yelling and singing a good time was had
6:49
by all music recording shows an LP with
6:52
at
6:52
tonar LPS and tonar were around when the
6:56
the Walk of f started here in 19 about
6:59
1960 the uh tradition of honing stars on
7:02
the sidewalk began though here at gromin
7:04
with the theater open in 1927 and we
7:06
think someone accidentally stepped in
7:09
wet cement when the theater is being
7:10
built giving Sig Ramen the idea for it
7:12
but uh that then spawn spawned I should
7:15
say the the categories out here
7:37
street cleaner coming
7:37
through watch out for the bus my bus
7:41
come bus coming through the bus totally
7:43
has the rideway yep see how street
7:46
cleaner just pulled over he was owning
7:48
the street till that bus arrived and
7:50
then all bets were off did you know Roy
7:53
Rogers middle name is turd this could
7:57
possibly be a behind the scenes
8:00
you know how they put their hands in the
8:02
concrete around these parts that's the
8:06
concrete right
8:07
there behind the
8:12
scenes this brings back some memories I
8:14
used to own a KitKat clock just like one
8:17
of
8:18
these it was the one here on the right
8:20
the black one a little bit bigger though
8:23
it was the size of the red and green one
8:25
they sell them here inside this gift
8:26
shop they have an assortment of pickles
8:29
this one screams and this one yodel I
8:32
tried them but there are no batteries in
8:33
them who the heck wanted to hear you
8:36

8:40
it hand soap the green Kit Kat
