Wow, what a week for celebrity deaths! 1st we lose Ed McMahon. Sure, not exactly the biggest celebrity, but you have to admit if you grew up like I did and the tv stayed on at your house past 11:30pm, often times you would here Ed McMahon saying "Hhhhheeeerrrreeee's Johnny!!!" That made him a slice of Americana right there.
Then Farah Fawcett, sadly you always knew the end was very near for her. Her Cancer ravaged body was not going to hold out but for so long. The #1 thing I remember out her is not so much Charlies Angels, which was her signature show, but I remember her more for the poster of the 1970's. I'm sure all of us looked at that pic and took a look at her breast and smiling face and thought.....that's not bad at all.
Then as soon as Farah's death has the spotlight, Michael Jackson completely blows that away by dying on the exact same day! Wow! That one was the equivalent to Elvis dying. Its going to be a "where was you when you knew Michael Jackson had died" moment. Eccentric as he may have been and maybe even guilty of child molestation, we will never truly know. But no one can deny his talent with music and dancing. I can not think of any star in my lifetime who enjoyed more success over a brief period of time than Michael Jackson.
All in all, June 25th 2009 will go down in infamy as an amazing day.
RIP
