But there are icons that transcend ... and like it or not, Michael Jackson was one of them....I intend to turn off my TV as well.. but I understand it. This afternoon, I got calls from 6 people I haven’t spoken to in a long time asking me if I had “heard the news.” Very weird... Music, pop culture and death. All common denominators that bring us together or tear us apart.
Really? How did he transcend anything? I never got Michael Jackson. I mean, was he your favorite entertainer, and if so, why? Because neither me nor any of my friends liked him or ever talked about him except lately to remark about what a freak he became.
