This is some really sad stuff; hate to have two of entertainment's most biggest stars/icons pass on the same day; "King of Pop"™ Micheal Jackson and former Charlie's Angels™ starlet, Corpus Christi and UT's own, Farrah Fawcett.
Cancer had to take another life away. Sad to have that happen to Farrah; I remember watching the special doc. of her on tv about roughly a month ago. And now it all came to an unfortunate end. May she rest in peace.
And for MJ; man, man, oh man. He was a "bad" man. A "smooth criminal" to the rest of the artists on the charts. A "thriller" of a man who you'd listen to over, over, and over...
"If they said that all the kids in the world died, I'd jump off the balcony and end my life." [Not word-for-word, but along the lines.]
He's practically larger than life, He is amazing. They're pretty much not enough words to express his talent and contributions in the world as well as the passionate fans he's had like I ever since the Jackson 5, "Off the Wall", "Thriller", "Bad", and so on. I have so many songs I love from him that I truly cannot pick out a sole favorite. I listened to his music pretty much throughout the past two days. Watched a DVD we own with the music videos that made Jackson who he is...and who is was...Me and my dad along with my uncle, we went to like Best Buy to look at laptops for myself for school, and we were just playing around to see if they had any Michael Jackson stuff; CDs, DVDs, whatever.
They didn't. ha. lol. Fry's, as well. [Also saw my buddy Edith at Best Buy; good to see her there.]
I also will remember where I was when I first heard the news of his passing. I was with my dad and we were just crusin' 'round like we'd do whenever he's off, and we were just coming from the Irving Mall, and we were listening to his [Michael's] music on 105.7...At the stop light on the corner of Beltline and Northgate heading home...I then thought that, "Hey, what's the occassion? Why are they playing his songs consecutively and such?"
Then after the song, the DJ says, "Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50."
Totally blew my mind and it just let me down, big time; just after waking up to hear that Farrah passed on, Michael did just the same later in the day.
People should just stop talking about the allegations of the kids and all that right now, b/c you know you wouldn't someone to talk about you once you pass, reflecting upon the things you've had mistakes at. Go and talk about the greatness and how he's a paragon in music and to other fellow artists that most of us all listen to. Michael Jackson, you'll be missed by everyone.
Another thing; the media should really express equally the lives of both MJ and Farrah Fawcett; great American icons that we cherish. I say this b/c of the enormity of attention to Jackson; of course, we ALL know why it's like the way it is, but really, they should equally reflect the lives of both. Me myself, I do not favor someone than the other, no matter who it is, and so it just bugged me a little while watching the news. Just sayin'.
