Song Du Jour: REM | Everybody Hurts

25 June 2009

The Angel and the King

I grew up in the 80s, and so the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson hit home in a strange way. They were both icons of my childhood and the news of their deaths, all in one day, was a shock to say the least. It feels like a death of part of my childhood.

Here's a song for them both - a fitting song for such a sad day - a haunting song, and one of my favorites from MJ: "She's Out of My Life"

May they both rest in peace.

Here here... Time catches us all, not matter how dim or brightly our light shines (or for how long).
