Shocking News

Yesterday we lost two great Hollywood Icons: Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. It is crazy to think that they are both now a part of history. Too often our Hollywood greats have left us too soon- Elivs, Marilyn Monroe, and now Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. While we were all at least somewhat prepared for Farrah's passing (doesn't make it any easier), MJ's was a complete and utter shock to me/us! I was driving home when I first heard he was being rushed to the hospital. The radio station I was listening to, normally a Top 40 station, played "Black or White" as a way to send good vibes to the Pop King. In some ways, his passing is making us all realize just how gifted a performer he was. His personal life - well let's just say it was interesting. But what he did for music will never be forgotten.

The passing of these two icons has left me in a weird mood. Despite that, however, it is a Friday and I doubt either one of them would want people wallowing in sarrow/weird moods. For now, I am going to continue to jam out to "Beat It," "Billy Jean," and "Black or White," and enjoy it :)
