Saint Peter runs up to the frail yet still beautiful creature who has just arrived at the Pearly Gates, proclaiming “Farrah Fawcett, you are so welcome here! You know, I have your poster.”

The almost luminous white face of angelic femininity looks upward to Saint Peter and says, “Farrah’s over there – I’m Michael Jackson.”

Sorry ’bout that. I woke up yesterday to the sad yet expected news of Farrah Fawcett’s passing. Charlie’s Angel. The Poster. The Hair. She was a true icon. A pretty good actress, as well, it turned out.

Then the shocking news of Michael Jackson’s passing made me feel like an entire era was biting the dust. No homosexual pedophile jokes here – that’s too serious a thing to laugh at. Instead, I remember the awe and wonder at this kid who seemed to be light years ahead of the rest of the music world. And while it’s easy to point and laugh at his odd choices in cosmetics and wardrobe, nothing could ever diminish his musical genius.

To beautiful memories…

And to the beauty that might have been…
