Passing: Farah Fawcett & Michael Jackson
Two icons of American popular culture lost on the same day.
The height of their popularity came a bit later than the period we tend to embrace here.
But it was difficult to ignore either - one from her winning smile and body. The pin-up girl of the 1970's; the other a product of the media/marketing engine of that time.
We convey condolences to their families, to their fans, and even to the rest of us -as it shows that time, indeed, is passing, and that at the end of the day we all are here for so brief a time - no matter how good looking, no matter how talented, no matter how much fame and no matter how much money.
We won't,as is our custom, link you to articles about both stars. We have probably have seen it and konw where to find it.
Instead, we leave you with this - our time here is short and precious. As Mr. Magourian said in a 2007 movie, "Your life is an occasion. Seize it".
