Goodbye Farrah, Goodbye Michael

Two media icons died yesterday. Both have brought joy and excitement to countless millions around the world. Those of us who were teenagers growing up in the 70s certainly enjoyed the original "Charlie's Angels" series, and of course "Thriller" was a global phenomenon.





Farrah Fawcett
(1947 - 2009)





Michael Jackson
(1958 - 2009)

Thank you Farrah. Thank you Michael.

May you both rest in peace.

    I remember posters of Jackson 5 in my sisters room growing up. Obviously, superstars of our generation growing up and into our early 20's. Life is short, got to slow down and smell the roses because one never know. Alex Shim, class of 1980 St Joe. Good work WJ, keep up the great memories of St Joe and Kuching. Thanks.

    Hi...WJ
    That was very timely, well done and thank you. God bless their souls, both of them were icons of our time and will be dearly missed by millions especially the late Mr M Jackson. His songs and dances have so much influence in the world of music and entertainment. Great man and one of a kind. Sad day.
