Michael and Farrah

Michael Jackson and Farrah Faucet both died today.

Err. Wow.

MSNBC:

So many people wanted to verify the early reports of Jackson’s death that the computers running Google’s news section interpreted the fusillade of “Michael Jackson” requests as an automated attack for about half an hour Thursday evening.

I was never a huge fan of MJ's. Dance music in general was never my thing. But I can't deny he was an icon, and hugely talented and influential.

But I gotta say, in a way, it will be a relief if his death turns out to have been a natural thing (though premature, surely), and not a result of his bizarre and fucked-up life. That would at least be a bit of dignity: not to be done-in by all the nonsense, but rather to go out as a normal person.

    from Rob’s link:

    On the internet, chat forums were awash with Jackson tributes from people who were convinced he was a pervert and wanted him strung up, but who were now desperate to tell the world that he was a victim of the media and that Thriller was a ground-breaking work of genius.

    Also, the next person I hear suggest that “celebrity deaths always come in threes” and grasping at straws to try to come up with the third is going to find me cramming a booger in their ear.
