Old boss meet the new boss, for "His Airness" Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls had arrived.

Answer: Los Angeles

If I told you this incident started because of King being beaten viciously by a pack of cops, I would not be telling you the entire truth. The truth is that the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department), at the time, had a very long history of corruption and abuse towards civilians.

When the officers got acquitted of all charges despite videotaped evidence showing the brutal beating, things got very heated very fast. Like a huge boil coming to a head and popping, Los Angeles became the scene of some sort of post-apocalyptic movie. Days and days of violence. Scary times LA had back then.

Answer: Viagra

Viagra is a drug which helps men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. As men get older, their bodies begin to shut down piece by piece and part by part. As Viagra became public, men all over the world who had problems with intimacy no longer had to live with that problem.

Answer: Woodstock

There are some that would say that the violence at Woodstock 99 was due to the aggressive bands booked to play. Others would say that Capitalist America led to the violence. Charging $4 for a bottle of water during 100 degree heat isn't exactly a calming influence, so to speak. I can't give an answer if I were to be asked. Blame it on the music? Perhaps, but I was at Ozzfest in 1999 and it doesn't get much more aggressive than Slayer, Rob Zombie, and Black Sabbath.

There was no violence that day. Blame the heat and high prices for concessions? Perhaps, but it was hot during Ozzfest and prices were high there too, and again, no violence. I just don't know what caused it all.
