RIPs

Farrah Fawcett

NOOOOOOOO!!! Let's hope one of the channels shows Saturn 5 as a tribute.

Farrah Fawcett died today.

And the other week (less important to my nascent sexuality, but very important regarding my eagerness to learn martial arts) David Carradine.  

I wonder if Ms. Fawcett's death was as amusing as Carradine's?

Steven Wells.

Michael Jackson.

Or not.

The BBC is saying that he wasn't breathing when the paramedics arrived, and the hospital isn't saying whether resuscitation was successful.

Michael Jackson (possibly).

That's a shocker...

Michael Jackson still seems to be up in the air.  Of course creatively he's been a spent force for decades.

It's a sad business about Jackson.  What great talent, and what a bloody mess of a life.  

Sorry to hear about Fawcett too. I had an old poster of her in her Saturn 5 get-up cut from an issue of Starburst which I rather cherished at a certain point in my life.

BBC now confirmed Michael Jackson is officially dead.

Thriller anyone?

[Gavin_Leahy_Block]

Looks like it's confirmed then.
Very surprised.

That's pretty sad.

Real shame to hear about Swells.  I loved reading him, Chris Roberts, Steve Sutherland and the like in the NME and the Maker in the late 80s and early 90s.

Gonna have to get Off the Wall and Thriller out (don't think I actually have copies at the mo) and watch Moonwalker as well.

I didn't even like Swells stuff when I was an incredibly naive 14 year old who would have lapped that shit up.

[Mike Carroll]

Poor ol' Jacko.

The exact cause of death has yet to be determined, but early reports say that doctors have ruled out the sunshine, the moonlight and the good times.
