And Another One Exits, Stage Left…
Michael Jackson…dead?
It’s almost too difficult to believe. I mean, not being a fan, and not privy to the inner sanctum of the Jackson cult, I find it strangely odd to think that the man whose videos I grew up watching on MTV has come down with a slight case of death. It just seems a bit…surreal.
And to think, we’ve had a rash of celebrity deaths recently; David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett. Who’s willing to take bets that Patrick Swayze will be the next to go?
It’s inevitable that the celebrities you grew up watching will one day die. It’s the passing of an age and the march of time happening right before our eyes.
And so, I say a sad “so long” to our moonwalking, studded glove wearing, flaming haired, zippered jacket icon of yesteryear. I almost feel guilty for mocking him in a recent post. I guess I’ll pick up my statue from the Bad Timing Awards on my way out the door…
When Ryan Seacrest confirms your death...brother, you're dead.
