Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both passed away today. Jackson (50) died of cardiac arrest at approximately 2:26 pm pacific time. Fawcett (62) died after a long, public battle with cancer. I had already known about Farah Fawcett earlier, but I was chilling with some friends when someone got a text informing us about MJ. We were all a lil' "elevated" so we just brushed it off as some prank. But alas, 'tis true. Both entertainers had huge fan bases and both were legends in their own rights. Michael Jackson was the king of pop and Farrah was the Charlie's Angels babe (before my time, but still hot) that everyone had up on their walls, back in the day. Both will be missed by their loyal fans. But honestly I don't know how to feel, especially concerning MJ. Unfortunately, he had become, towards the end of his career and up until now, the butt of many jokes. It sounds wrong to say, but I'm more inclined to feel remorse for Fawcett's passing. MJ had become an enigma that was becoming increasingly difficult to figure out. He was a peculiar man, that many people (myself included) could not comprehend. His actions had become eccentric to a point that it was difficult to separate the man from the confusion. If that makes any sense. There is still no doubt that he and Farrah both made a huge impact in the entertainment industry. Here's to two legends. Rest in peace.
