It was sad enough to hear of Farrah Fawcett's passing this morning, but this . . .

Michael Jackson has died of cardiac arrest at the age of 50.

Regardless of what he became later in life, he was truly one of my first favorite performers of all time. Another supremely talented star, with an all too tragic end.

May he rest in peace.

ETA: Larry King just made an excellent point: by next week so many people are going to make the tabloids explode with their horror stories and "newly revealed" scandals about Michael Jackson. For the brief time that we have between now and then, it's best to remember him for the good things that he did - he was an undeniable talent and gave so much to the world of music.

He was one of my favorites too. R.I.P. to both Michael & Farrah.

His poor children. Their lives must have been strange enough up to this point, I can't imagine what they will be going through now.

I wonder if the children's mothers will have part of their care now? It's going to be rough for those kids. :(

I don't know how anxious I would be to give children back to mothers who essentially gave up their parental rights. On the other hand, I don't know how good it would be to have the Jackson family raise them either. It is such a sad, tragic story overall.

I agree. I was looking forward to him recording and touring again. What a loss.

It is certainly a terrible loss.

Amen and Amen.

Poor Michael...poor troubled kid. Because despite his age? He really couldn't grow up.

How very true. It's sad that his life became such a punchline that unfortunately overshadowed a lot of his genuine talent. It is that talent that will be missed so much.
