It's been a sad week for the entertainment industry. Early in the week, Ed McMahon died. Then, this morning, Farrah Fawcett died. This afternoon, there was Breaking News all over the TV....Michael Jackson died today too. Now, I can understand people being a little sad about Ole Ed. After all, he was Johnny's sidekick for years, and showed up to give people millions of dollars. Even though he'd had some troubles the last few years, I'm pretty sure he was one of the 'good guys'. Farrah has been sick for a few years......the dreadful 'C' word claims another innocent victim. Never really heard any negative news about her....except that she was a little spacey on the David Letterman show years ago. Again....I believe she was one of the 'good guys', too....she was an Angel, after all. So now this afternoon has been all about Michael Jackson. I agree that he was a brilliant performer....I'd even go as far as to call him a genius...musically. I don't know anybody my age or younger that hasn't at least tried to moon walk. Everyone had the Thriller album, the jacket and 'The Glove'. That was then. Fast forward to about 2003. Lots of bad things associated with the name Michael Jackson.....REALLY bad things. Maybe that's why all of the coverage tonight? I don't know. The best comment I have heard so far is "The Michael Jackson that I liked died YEARS ago."
