the MJ issue

I am one person in this little world, I wake up and go to work for minimum wage, I barely make ends meet, and I wear very high heels so I a may not particularly be someone people turn to, to hear advice from. So whenever I hear certain people tell me they are tired of hearing about Michael Jackson, because it overshadows Farrah Fawceet and her incident I try to weigh the options. Farrah was a poster supermodel who played in charlies angels, i dream of genie, and over 57 movies she was a 70's icon who was an amazing actress and beautiful woman. She had cancer for three years now and as fans they watched her slowly die, sad as it was and sadly she is being over shadowed by Michael Jackson's death, who unexplainably is an icon over centuries that I grew up listening to, dancing to, singing to... he inspired me musically just like he did many other artists. Media has taken his death to be sudden and unexpected tradgic to the music community and for some reason farrah fawceets death seems to be on the back burner. In honestly she didn't impact the industry world wide like Michael Jackson did, her career did focus on what it is she was developed around. She was good at what she did, but for some reason media see's it that Michael was a larger icon a more tragic story and he impacted the white, asian, indian black communities all over the world. Music tends to be something that has changed people's lifes, and sad as it is, what he left behind is far more worth than what the media protrays. There are plenty of people all over the earth who die on the exact same day, and who are born on the exact same die, we don't pinpoint one person's death over the other... It is from that point on the families right and responsibility to do what they please and it's their business
