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.

I'm with y'all. It's hard seeing these icons pass. To me, it shows us that time is passing and connects us to our own mortality. We need to be prepared though, so perhaps the reminder is not a bad thing.
These three will be missed. Thriller was may favorite song and video of Michael Jacksons. I remember Farah was at the top just after Rex and I got married and we all so wanted to look like her. She's from south Texas, too, so we though she was one of our own who made it big.

Good one Gina.....I forgot about the days of the Jackson 5. He made a lot of great music!
In my opinion, Paul Simon, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson are brilliant musicians. I know I'm leaving a lot of others out. Help me out here!
