We've lost two iconic people today: Farrah Fawcett and Michael (not Micheal, learn to spell) Jackson. Farrah, we kind of saw coming; Michael was out of nowhere.
Farrah's story has been praised for her courage, her strength, and the legacy she left behind. She will surely be missed.
Moving onto something I'm more familiar with: Michael Jackson. Obviously, his death has mixed reactions. Some will miss his music and will keep his legacy going. Then you have all the people that focus on his recent misfortunes (molestation, parenting, going white due to some skin condition even though most people assume it was on purpose, etc.). Whether you focus on the 80's, 90's, or now, cut him some slack; yeah, he may or may not have molested some kids but, you have to admit, his music was inspirational and touched people. His music is some of which we will never forget.
Besides, people like Elvis, Farley, and Belushi weren't exactly saints, and we still love their work. Think about the work they've left us with, not their personal troubles.
Right now (and I've said this before), let's show some respect for the dead.
