Perhaps you know the story of Mike the Headless Chicken, perhaps you do not. He is one of the folk heroes of of barn yard fame. In the 1940's Mike catapulted to national fame, only to be struck down in his youth. Here is Mike's story

Mike the Headless Chicken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While I never met Mike, I talked to a few people who remember him. I have always wondered how Mike listened to music. It is reported that one ear survived, so today he could have used ear buds. But in the 40's they had those big over the ear cans, so with no head how did they sit on him? I suppose he could listen to a regular stereo like any other normal chicken, but cuing a record or threading a reel to reel tape would have been quite a challenge. Of course once he was famous, Mike made $4500 a month then...that translates into $48,000 a month in today's money.....he could have an entourage of chickens do these tasks for him.

So I implore you, do not forget Mike. Do not minimize the aspirations of other would be headless chickens looking for fame and fortune. May Mike the Headless Chicken always be part of our American heritage.

Next we can discuss Nigeria, witch doctors, and the turning of a young boy into a yam.

Regards

This is just my opinion, but you Mr. Pig are a moron for posting this. If this ruffles your feathers(no pun intended)I really don't care.
