OT: Bad Week for Pop Icons




Share/Bookmark
Wow, it certainly has been a bad week for pop icons.

First it was the death of Johnny Carson's sidekick on The Tonight Show, Ed McMahon. (We once got a letter from McMahon saying we may have already won a million dollars from Publisher's Clearing House! Unfortunately, Ed's enthusiasm was premature, as someone else was awarded the prize.)

Today it was a double blow. This morning we heard that Farrah Fawcett had lost her battle with cancer. For men of a certain age the Charlie's Angels star was was our first fantasy. For a look at an older but still beautiful Fawcett, check out Robert Duvall's under-rated The Apostle.

This afternoon Michael Jackson passed away in Los Angeles. The King of Pop changed the face of music with Thriller.

They will be missed.
