Two Icons Have Passed

[Lindsey]

I was in shock over Michael Jackson's passing. I loved him when I was a kid in the 80's, and I was so jealous over the Michael Jackson endorsed keyboard my brother got for Christmas one year! He was a great performer and I have continued to love him throughout his career. In high school I even perfected the moonwalk and showed off at dances! In my last ever performance in figure skating I also moonwalked across the ice. I loved the way he danced! He was so talented and troubled at the same time.
It sickens me that so many people are sending around jokes making fun of his death. I got 15 text forwards in a row this morning from the same person. He was a very lonely and troubled man and it's no wonder he felt he needed to seclude himself when he was ridiculed by the outside world during his life and even after his death I hope he is at peace.
I am a little young to remember much about Farrah Fawcett except I know that she is a legend too. It has been coming for months but it's still a sad passing. RIP.

I feel so bad for Farrah Fawcetts loved ones. The news of Michael's passing is overshadowing her. Just not right in light of they both passed the same day.

And Ed McMann passed the day before. One TV channel was doing his biography last night. The others were pretty much doing half Michael Jackson and half Farrah Fawcett.

It is very, very sad! Both of them were 80's icons. Jessie said that she is just so saddened. She grew up with Charlie's Angels, Ed McMann on Star Search, and we had a Michael Jackson poster in our kitchen for a while.

Farrah Fawcett was just a month older than me. She suffered, and fought so hard. What a spirit! My heart goes out to her family. It is a loss to all of us. She was a great woman.

Michael Jackson was a genius. He is responsible for so many trends in music and dance. I remember watching "Thriller", and then "The Making of Thriller." I think my fav was "Billy Jean." I remember him dancing in the spoltlight as he went up the steps. I am going to remember what he gave the world, and forget about the rest. A lot of geniuses are not stable.

I can't believe how much in debt Michael was. You'd think with all of his records
he wouldn't have been. But I'm sure they are really selling now.

Farrah was a beautiful soft spoken actress , I remember well when she first appeared on commericals, and the poster that made her famous and of course Charlies Angels. I loved that show. She suffered so much and is at peace now.


Michael Jackson.. yes girls we all remember him early 70's when the Jackson five appeared singing ABC , I'll Be There, and so many other great songs. Like Janet I didn't care for his music later on and he was a little strange. Like someone said he never really grew up was like a kid himself. But he was an icon, this reminds me of when Elvis Presley died . We will always remember the date of two great artists passing.

I to feel like Farrah was slighted once the news of Michael Jackson broke out.. May they all rest in peace including Ed McMann he lived to be a nice age God Bless them.
