How come when one person goes, another one goes? This is just like when Bernie Mac passed along with Issac Hayes. This is just devastating, because no one would have ever thought Michael Jackson would pass at the age of 50. Farrah Fawcett passed fighting cancer so many weren't surprised, but at the same time many believed she would pull through.
I heard about Farrah this morning and had to really think like "I know that name!" Then I was like "Charlie's Angels" man! I didn't even know about the cancer thing but I got caught up on it all today. Learning of her death did not affect me as much as learning bout Michael's. At first I was like WHAT?! I checked everything. TMZ confirmed it first, but COME ON! TMZ? So I'm checking the 6 o'clock news, CNN, BET, MTV... and it was finally confirmed. After a lot of confusion, and people making stuff up, like saying he was in a coma because they didn't want anyone to know he was gone, since his family had not been told yet. Deep down I knew. There was too much back and forth, "he's dead", "not dead","in a fatal state", "in a coma"...I knew it, but I did not want to believe it. He was getting his tour kicked off, talking about a comeback album! And my sister... she texts me and says "My boo gone." I am just so sad right now and I don't even know him, but his music touched me. He was the greatest (not one of the greatest) performers of all time and he will be deeply missed. I'm just mad I didn't get a chance to buy the new album that he never got to start.
