Right? It's shocking and so very sad. He was so talented. May he rest in peace.
I find this so sad and shocking and find the parallels between the death of Elvia Presley and MJ very eerie -- both died relatively young of massive heart attacks. Both were pop stars and legends during their generation. Their deaths were very shocking and unexpected and during a time when they were trying to make a "comeback."
While I can't say I was a HUGE MJ fan or idolized him, I did respect him as a musician and truly believe he deserves his place in music history. I grew up with his music, memorizing every step of Beat It and Thriller (when the Movie 13 Going on 30 came out, I felt like it was made about me & my friends!!)
What is even more shocking and has left me speachless is the fact that TWO icons of my generation passed today -- Both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson reached their hights of their careers while I was growing up and I watched and was a fan of both of them during the same time period.
I cannot believe the word has lost TWO Legends today and I mourn the loss of both of them -- I guess I now understand my parent's reaction and all the "grown ups" around me when Elvis Presely died.
RIP MJ -- I hope you find more peace in death that you ever recd in life!
