Not too long ago, my family and I were gathered around the kitchen table discussing death. I remember saying something along the lines of, "Well, when Michael Jackson dies, the whole world is gonna stop! Like seriously, he's the most famous person alive. Who's more famous than him!?! Who!?!? Nobody!"
Today, my words have become the real deal. The arguably most famous and iconic musician in the WORLD has died. Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26pm on June 25th, 2009. He was not only meaningful in the entertainment word, but he touched me in a special way. By the time I was born in the late 80s he was already a grown man. I grew up after the Billy Jean era but I knew every single song! I had albums released when my mother was a child. Thats how great of an artist he was. That I could be a product of the 90s music era but be connect to music from the Jackson 5.
He was and will remain my favorite male artist of all time. He is sorely missed. Instead of crying any further, I'll dwell on the gift of music that he shared with all the world and he will live on through his music. R.I.P to the "King of Pop!"
Farah Fawcett of the original "Charlie's Angels" has also died today. She
suffered from anal cancer during the past 3 years. I really didn't connect with her too much but my condolences go out to her family & friends as well. R.I.P Ms. Fawcett.
