Today is a day that will go down as one of the saddest days in American history, along with the death of Elvis, the murder of John Lennon, and the Big Three. We lost two great people in American history, one a sex symbol, the other revolutionized music for a whole new era.
Farrah Fawcett probably best known for her role as Jill Monroe on the TV series "Charlie's Angels" was to many guys in the 1970s the ultimate dream girl. Her status as a sex symbol helped boost the series and during the late 70s her pictures were emblazoned all across tabloid magazines. Fawcett would go on to star in various TV movies and an off Broadway play titled "Extremities" Farrah Fawcett is known for being formerly married to the Six Million Dollar Man star Lee Majors and for showing off her goods for Playboy, once in 95 and a second time in 97. However, I'll always remember Farrah as Pamela Glover from Cannonball Run. So farewell Miss Fawcett and thanks for fulfilling many wonderful fantasies.
Whether you called him "Little Michael," "Jacko" or "Captain EO", Michael Jackson will go down as the man, who gave birth to the pop movement. Sure you can look at what he became during his later years, but you have to look beyond that. From the early days, when he performed alongside his brother in the Jackson 5 it was clear that Michael was always the star of the group. Whether he awed you with "I Want You Back" or sang the tear-jerking "I'll be there," Michael was truly something. As for his later career during the 1980s, he would make hit after hit and every single one of them hit hard. Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, Black or White, Bad, Thriller, you name it. Michael and his producers knew how to sell something and that's exactly what they did. It's the same reason why the Beatles hit big in America and for that reason, we must take off our hats and honor one of music's finest. No one is a hundred percent sure of what happened down on Neverland Ranch and that's something that he's going to take with him to the grave. Honestly, between you and me, that's the way it should be. So farewell Michael and thank you for teaching us how to moon walk.
