Bad day for celebrities

First Farrah Fawcett, now it looks like Michael Jackson's died.

And that doctor in Antactica who had to give herself a breast biopsy also died (Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald).

[bmccasland]

yup.

RIP King of Pop. Maybe now he'll finally get some peace. Never really had it in life, seems he wasn't ever able to adjust to life under a microscope (don't think any reasonably sane person could).

The big C is an ugly way to go, Farrah and the Lady Doc. At least they lived life on their terms.

Sure is an odd "3"
sex symbol
sidekick
pop (I was going to say wacko, but after Beth's comment, I can't now )

So sad. I hope there are some healthy adults around Michaels kids to help them process everything: His life and death.

There's no denying he exhibited some odd behavior and had a far from normal childhood (and father) but with his death you really realize what a spectacular talent he had. it's just sad that it took his death for people to start talking about that.

Watch any music video and you'll see Michael Jackson's influence.

I for one, loved him, Zen. I just played some of his old stuff in my spin class playlist. Always a great beat. And man... could he move.

Yea... things about his life, particularly later, were unusual. But, when you are person with such an unusual gift of talent... how could you expect the rest of his life to average 'normal'? (normal = by whose standards?) That's how most ecentrics in history work!

I'm in shock he's gone.

What kind of cancer did Farrah have?
