Is it just me,..or did Farrah get screwed?

Of course,by now everyone is aware that Farrah Fawcett and Micheal Jackson both passed away on the same damm day!
I feel the loss of each,(as well as the loss of Ed McMahon a few days earlier),in the sense that they all had an impact on my generation,and as time goes by, I expect I'll be seeing more and more of my contemporaries moving on..as it were.

I'm struck this day by what I think is something of an unfair disparity in the coverage of this unusual development.
I mean,.. if Mike hadn't died within hours of Farrah,we'd be focused a lot more on her brave battle with a terminal disease,..not to mention the whole Ryan O'Neil 'Love Story' example of life imitating art,..which I find poetically poignant.

I don't know,..it just seems odd to me that the media attention is largely dedicated to the admittedly untimely death of Micheal Jackson.

I'm really not trying to take anything away from his remarkable career,but I'm guessin' it has a lot to do with all the controversy that surrounded the guy in the last few years.
I just can't help feeling that our priorities may be a tad skewed.

..And that's my two-cents worth.

Quite naturally,there will be a number of musical tributes to Mike out there in Bloggertown today.
This is as it should be..

I highly recommend stopping by my dear friend Rainey's house,and checking out her cool MJ memory!..
I don't want to give away too much,but it has Communists and everything!

In the meantime,I've chosen an old favorite I'd like to dedicate to Farrah, my pubescent..ummm..inspiration,..and pretty much every little boy's dream!



'Hey nahnie ding dong,..a lang-a lang-a lang'.
..That stuff's poetry right there!
