3 for 1


Yesterday two pop culture icons left us and earlier in the week there was another.

They say celebrity deaths come in threes. This was one of the clearest examples of that.

On Monday Ed McMahon passed away. He was older, had been in poor health for a while, it wasn't a terrific shock.

Then yesterday morning after a long battle with terminal cancer Farrah Fawcett finally let go.

And shockingly, yesterday Michael Jackson died of a heart attack.

Jackson's death is incredibly shocking, and hard to stomach. I love, love, love pop music. I mean hard core fluffy can't stop your feet from moving, change your life rock your world pop music. Michael Jackson produced more of that music than anyone else. From the early stuff with The Jackson 5, to the unparalled Thriller. True his personal issues often outshined his unbelievable talent, I really think in the end his music will be his enduring legacy.

Even last my friends and I had a dance party to "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough," as a memoriam.
