Michael, Farrah & Ed

Michael Jackson 50, a pop icon for many had a massive Heart Attack
this afternoon. Paramedics found Jackson unconscious and not breathing
and he was rushed to hospital where he slipped into a coma and died 10
minutes ago.


Farrah Fawcett also...god, I loved that poster.

Ed McMahan....maybe he and Johhny will have another show somewhere else.

watch a deal on Ed last night, heard this am that Farrah had passed on, then when I was headed to the reprographics around 2pm I heard Jackson was taken to the hospital and the first thing that crossed my mind was " In 3's ", sure enough, 3pm the office was buzzing that he was dead. we made some comments about what a wack job he was, then on the way home the radio played some of his music, and thought, Wow, what a loss, I really forgot what a entertainer he was, kinda sad to have lost that talent in the clouds of so much controversy and weirdness


Maybe he'll be at rest now

For some reason, Ed never excited me much. Then again, I never stayed up that late...I worked too hard for all those years.

Farah is another story. The famous poster......

My kids loved M. Jackson.....they even had one white glove. When they got older, they moved their affections to Prince and Purple Rain.

Jackson was a genius and a perfectionist. Despite his many shortcomings, it is quite impressive what dedication and perfection can achieve when channeled into entertainment.....

I remember a Superbowl performance...maybe he did it more than once. He was all about excitement!

I guess Neil Young said it best "It's better to burn out, than to fade away".

It's too bad Farah died, but Michael, who cares. He was a pedophile.
