Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died today. Both of them were key figures in my misguided youth. I remember when the Farrah 'do was THE hairstyle (although I actually didn't know anyone who had one), and the poster of her in the red bathing suit. As for Michael Jackson, I remember confusing the Jacksons and the Osmonds. I also remember "Off the Wall," and yes, I used to have a copy of "Thriller."
Here's a take on the significance of Farrah's and Michael's deaths. Yes, the icons of my misguided youth are starting to die. I guess it'll really hit me when one of the Osmonds passes away.
Michael Jackson was once married to Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie. Coincidentally, he died of "cardiac arrest," the same thing that Elvis died of.
(I still think that Michael Jackson squandered his immense talent, though.)
