Star Light Star Bright

Two stars burned out this morning.

Okay, let me rephrase that. I watched Star Trek the other day.

Two of the brightest shining stars of Hollywood passed away on the 25th of June 2009, early morning on the 26th of June in Australia.

First of all, Michael Jackson. I probably don't even need to mention his name in all honesty. And yes, he is/was eccentric. But his songs kind of brought a weird sense of hope. And his song Black or White has stuck with me from the moment I heard it.
I heard it in the morning, and I was completely and utterly shocked. I'm definitely one of those people who believe that his time hasn't come yet.

Second of all, is the death of farrah Fawcet, one of the original Charlie's Angels. I never really knew who she was. That much is certain. But saw snippets of the video she made for cancer patients, and what she was trying to achieve, and I think my heart just bled for her a leeetle bit more than it did for Michael Jackson.
What really pisses me off is the fact that her death is barely being recognised.
After what she did. So her public career may not have been as bright as Michael Jackson's. But that doesn't mean that her death should be mentioned only AFTER Michael Jackson's. Nor does this mean that Michael Jackson deserves more coverage than Farrah Fawcet does.

Nonetheless. The world lost two stars. Let's hope there'll be more to brighten up the days again.
