Friday, 26th June 2009 is a weird day with the passing of two international icons, Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
Of course poor Farrah's news was out first, only to be dwarfed by the tragedy that was MJ's and only MJ can create.
While I liked Michael's music, I was never a huge fan. While driving into work, I was listening to the unfolding news on the radio and following it on twitter.. you know, starts of with unconfirmed news of MJ rushed to hospital with heart attack, then confirmed, then unconfirmed news of MJ being dead.... then what seems like an eternity before it was confirmed, full marks for TMZ website for being first and being spot on.
But I was sad for MJ, someone who had so much talent and was so loved, yet was unable to find happiness and love, he was apparently on 9 types of drugs and anti-depressants before he had the heart attack and died at age 50.
I found it sad because it's a grand tragedy of lives of many who can not come out and so are forever living out two lives, never finding themselves and happiness.
RIP MJ.
