Fawcett vs. Jackson: Who Died First?

July 15, 2009

Who died first? Was it Farrah Fawcett, the beautiful blonde bombshell with to-die-for hair and a contagious smile that we all know from Charlie’s Angels who had been battling cancer for the past three years? Or was it Michael Jackson, the pop icon that become the King of pop and whom people fell in love with at his very early age when he was singing ABC?

Then again, does it really matter who passed away before whom on that fateful Thursday on June 25, 2009? We lost two icons that day. Whether or not Jackson went before Fawcett, or she died before him (as previously thought), do we really need to know? There is no reason for us to have to know the exact moment a celeb dies. If it is 8 am or noon, that doesn’t matter to us, the fans. The families may want to know, but do we need to read about? Do we care if the claims were one minute or one hour off?

A person dying is not a race. It is not like there is a finish line. If we find out which person went first, do they get a medal? No, so we, the people, do not need to know these specifics.

Please, just let them rest… it has been over month. Whoever died before whom doesn’t matter… they are dead either way.
