And now Michael Jackson. As a fifty one year old I am in a kind of mild shock. Farrah was a fantasy of most of us in the 70s and of course MJ was a contemporary. I can't say I had much respect for him personally as of late, but I sympathize with what must have been a difficult youth and am sorry for the difficult journey that this terrific talent endured.

Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.

Rest in Peace.

What a beautiful woman.

Michael Jackson certainly has to be one of more intriguing individuals I have seen in my life. However, I know he leaves behind at least one child and a large immediate family.

He now finally has the peace he has been seeking. R.I.P.

Both will be missed

It was the hair I remember. She spawned a fad "Farrah Fawcett hair!" Fond memories, sweetheart. Rest easy.

It's a shame about Farrah, I loved watching the reruns of Charlie's Angels when I was a kid. RIP.

I suppose I'll say the same about MJ, but I can't say that I necessarily feel bad about the fact that he's gone--he didn't really "touch my life".....well, I suppose that he did in the "don't ever be like that guy" kind of way. I'm sorry for his kids and family though. His kids are still fairly young yet, aren't they? Pre-teen or a bit less? That can't be easy for them.

I had that poster and still have a pretty large pin that has that image . Wonder if it is a collector's item now

Farah first caught my eye while I was in the Sudbury area on a job - she was a laser lab technician in the movie "Logan's Run" (1976). Sad she is gone.

As for MJ - I've already had a news overload on his death. Sad he died at such a young age, but the death hype is a bit too much IMHO.

In any case, this particular thread is really depressing.

Some reporters are saying he was larger then Elvis but IMO Elvis was larger then MJ and is the real KING

Neither one is fit to be called 'King'. Not to mention that Elvis (like Sinatra) couldn't carry a tune in a paperbag. At least MJ could sing in tune. Just MHO, mind you.

A MJ song comes to mind that probably occured with many a young teen when you think of those erasers

Wino, you are among the few who recognized that Sinatra sang off key!! His orchestration (John Scott Trotter for one) and selection of songs carried him plus some of his connections.

Not a fan of Elvis either. I liked Jackson though.
