Shocked about Jacko but although I liked quite a bit of his music and especially some of the video clips, I was never a die-hard fan of his.

Damn shame he had so many problems and that any help he could've gotten either wasn't sought or didn't work. He had a shit of a life as a kid and he made something of himself only to have it basically fall down around his feet. That would suck and no-one deserves that.

I might be feeling more sympathy for him if it weren't for some other aspects of his personal life - founded or otherwise, there's certain allegations that will always smear his reputation in my eyes and without getting into an argument, I'd just like to say this: where there's smoke there's fire, but just so you know, I can also see a different point of view and this is that given what came out afterwards, some of these kids' parents need their bums kicked in a pretty big way.

That said, he had problems right from the word go and no-one deserves that, he achieved a hell of a lot in his lifetime and he has pleased a lot of people at great expense to himself, so he's gonna be deservedly missed by those people.

Ditto for Farrah Fawcett, in a lot of different ways, I'll admit I don't know much about her as she was "before my time" but she put up a hell of a fight and I admire her for that, it must've been f**king hard.
