It was a bad day for the Pop Culture World after losing two of its biggest Icons. First, Farrah Fawcett succumbed to her long battle with cancer, then Michael Jackson died after his heart stopped. Although I was never a huge fan of either (I was in love with Jacklyn Smith - and was rocking more to Bruce and U2) but I can understand the sense of loss their fans feel. At the same time I feel sympathy for the media and stand-up comics who lost two of their biggest targets.
Yet in the end, what bothers me is that the death of an actress who publicly battled cancer till the end, is somehow superceded by the death of a singer who is best known for his freakish looks and behaviors. It makes me wonder - what does that say about us as a society?
