The trinity pt 3/ The Conclusion
The last part to seal the mourning trinity is the most shocking news of all! It was hard enough hearing that Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning. As I was wrapping up my day at work, I overheard news spreading like wildfire around the office about another well known celebrity that has gone to the other side...
When I heard the name of that person, my heart stopped for a second and I sat there stunned and in disbelief. Those from the 70s mourned the loss of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. Those from the 80s had to cope with the shocking death of John Lennon, the Rock and Roll Dreamer. Now my generation has Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, to add to that list.
I know Jake doesn't give a shit about it and will tell me "He's dead, get over it! There's other things more important in the world than Michael Jackson." Yes he maybe right, but I don't think he understands how I feel about this because he never really grew up listening to Michael Jackson, I did! My dad had a few of Michael Jackson's videos on some old MTV tapes he recorded. I remember watching the videos to Billie Jean and Beat It, dancing like a maniac as a baby!
Say what you want about him now but you can't deny that the man had incredible talent for writing and singing catchy pop tunes! Even though I am a more of a hard rock / heavy metal fan, I love Michael Jackson's music. I admit it!
To pay homage to MJ, here is the video that scared me to death as a kid yet is one of the greatest pop tunes ever created and is a must have on your Halloween list. This is THRILLER!
In conclusion, all of these people had an impact on us one way or another whether you're a fan today or they were an integral part of your childhood. These three certainly had something special about them and will be missed.
