DOUBLE DOSE OF GRIEF IN HOLLYWOOD
Tough day in Hollywood. Two pop icons pass on the same day. Tough day in radio too. No way you can make the masses completely happy. Some will say we didn’t talk about Farrah enough. Some will say we talked about Michael Jackson too much. Why didn’t we play more MJ music? Why didn’t we have more clips on Farrah? In an internet society where so much information comes at us so quickly and so often, its hard to determine what ultimately is the “right call.” On a personal note, I have appreciation for what they both brought to the table. Michael Jackson’s musical legacy is an unparalled one; the Elvis Presley of our generation. Farrah was also a pop icon of unparalled influence. From a cheezy cop show to the best selling poster EVER, to a substantial actress who took the opportunity to make films that not only showcased a talent that no one bothered to give her credit for, but also brought to the forefront important women’s issues that made the public take notice. Both will be missed for what they gave us and sadly for what they possibly still had to offer.
