Don't Stop Til You Get Enough

This was one hell of a week. Nothing really happened in my life, but in the lives of others it was pretty significant. The first that comes to mind is Ed McMahon. I mainly knew him as Johnny Carson's sidekick and I have to admit that that's how I remember him the most. I hear he did a lot of good things though. Another life I think of is Farrah Fawcett. The was one of the original Charlie's Angels. I used to watch her on TV when I was a kid. And finally - you know who I'm talking about - Michael Jackson. WTF? He was only 50 and he died of a heart attack. Something is fishy about that but apparently he had medical problems for a long time. When it comes to music and dancing I can't think of a single person that has been more influential than this man. Sure he had a few weird things going on in his life in recent years, but if you look at his body of work, well it's amazing. If I had to mention 2 things that changed the world of music it would have to be Thriller and the moonwalk. Let us all bow our heads and pray for his soul. May his accomplishments and contributions to the world be remembered always.
