I see MJ as a tragic figure, like Elvis, and John Belushi. A meteoric rise, then a sinking into a kind of self-created oblivion, pain, and destruction. While on the other hand, Farah in her last days presented a heroine, it's all about choices.

A moving remembrance of Michael from a close friend:

In the end death just seemed more out of character for Michael Jackson than for most people. Because through most of his life he and reality seemed at best on parallel but seldom overlapping courses. And death is reality, full stop.

Pitchman Billy Mays Found Dead
http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/28/billy-mays-is-dead/

Quote:
TV pitchman Billy Mays was found dead today in his home in Tampa, Florida. According to the Tampa PD, Mays was pronounced dead at 7:45 AM. The 50-year-old was found by his wife early this morning.
Didn't really know much about him until I started watching Pitchmen. The show recently had his family on in one episode. Even though he was on the road a lot, he tried to be a good father and husband. Condolences to the family.

Not very much I would say, at least right now. Too many of them were made. Maybe in 50 years when everyone elses are gone

Interesting that you should mention that.. My mom always said that it happened in 3's. And it seemed it did...But, maybe because there's more people, it's happening in 4's...Time waits for no one, it seems...

Legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite dies at 92 RIP Walter.
By Mark Washburn | Charlotte Observer
He led us to Saigon, to Jonestown, to Selma, to Attica.

He escorted us to all corners of the Earth, then he showed us to the moon.

As anchorman of the "CBS Evening News," Walter Cronkite — who died Friday at age 92 after a period of failing health, family members said — not only narrated a tumultuous era in American life, but presided over the instant that television achieved its thunderbolt potential to be the most powerful communication tool in history.

That defining moment unfolded Nov. 22, 1963, after Cronkite was drawn to the urgent, five-bell summons of the United Press International ticker in the CBS newsroom: Shots had been fired at the motorcade of President John F. Kennedy.

It would take 20 minutes for a camera to be warmed up to broadcast his image, so Cronkite interrupted "As the World Turns" and reported the news over a screen slide that said "Bulletin."
