Farewell to icons


Don't know what to make of it, but today saw the passing of 2 cultural icons from the 70s and 80s. Farrah Fawcett's 1976 poster is the best selling pin-up of all time, just as Michael Jackson's 1982 Thriller is the best selling record of all time.
So weird; last week I was listening to some old songs, inlcuding MJ's "You Are Not Alone". Seems a couple of the lyrics probably reflect the thoughts of his and Farrah's loved ones right now:

You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone.
