A note on the recently passed on.

[painekiller]

In the last 48 hours 3 people who have added great memories to my life passed away.

Ed McMahon was the sidekick. He was the super hawker of products, Budweiser, Alpo. And he could host also Star Search, and don't forget Celebrity bloopers.

Then today, the woman who ushered in my puberty, Farrah Fawcett passed. I still remember the topic at school was what did Farrah wear last night. Just once I would have been happy to have her cream my face (Noxzema) and ride off in her cougar. That red bathing suit is burnt into the mind of many a lad of my generation.

And lastly, I am in disbelieve over the passing of Micheal Jackson. I was a fan before he went nuts. The man changed MTV, From cute kid to a super star's super star, to his fall from grace. Micheal did it bigger than all. He was an entertainer you could not take your eyes off of. Even when you thought you should. He sang to a rat and we bought it, he danced with zombies and we bought it, he gave Weird Al a career and we bought that too.

I want to say rest in peace all of you, thank you for the joyful memories.
