The world lost two of its towering icons from the 70's yesterday. Farrah Fawcett finally succumbed after a long and courageous battle with cancer while Michael Jackson collapsed and died under questionable circumstances. Fawcett reminds us of an earlier period where a woman with a smile that could light up a small country could enchant millions without descending into the sewer of inappropriate behavior. Who can forget the young Michael Jackson of the 70's and 80's - the handsome young prodigy with the talented family who later decided he did not look good enough and descended into a sewer of his own making while essentially retaining his towering musical talent. After having given us hours of pleasure, may they rest in peace.
