Well, the world is truly, coming to an end. Two of the biggest icons in pop-culture history gone in one day. Farrah Fawcett, the first modern pin-up girl and 1970's sex symbol, and Michael Jackson, The King of Pop and Jesus of MTV, both dead, today, June 25th, 2009, Fawcett, 62; Jackson, 50. Many people never thought the end would come for these two, even with Fawcett's long battle with cancer and Jackson's ever deterioating body from countless (uneeded) plastic surgeries, stemming from a freak accident in the 1980's when his hair caught on fire. It's funny to think that Jackson was the same age as the label that started his life. This not only being his 50th year on this earth, but the 50th year of the Great Motown Label, the founder of which, now in his eighties, is still alive. Farrah, on the other hand was brought into this world of stardom on a simple, yet smart telivision program by the name of "Charlie's Angels", one of THE biggest tv shows of the 1970's, on the same levels as the 1990's "Seindfeld" and our generation's "CSI". Near the end of her life, she was seen as an inspiration, documenting her battle with cancer in hopes of teaching the public about what really happens in the life of a cancer patient. No matter what stumbles these stars had in their lives (I'm looking at you, Wacko-Jacko), they will always, always, be remembered.
