Added to that list was Ed McMahon, who was Johnny Carson's long time side kick on the Tonight Show for what, like 25 years? Ed was 86.
But yeah, 3 biggies like that in a row is a MIND-BLOWER. I think Michael Jackson's death, though, was the BIGGEST shocker of them all.
Ed had been battling cancer and other health-related issues for the last several years, Farrah had been battling cancer for the last 4 or 5 years. But Michael, other than the usual stuff with his bizarre personal life, no one had said anything about poor health, prescription drug use, etc.
I'll admit, I liked a lot of his music. Hell, when he was still with the Jackson 5, was still BLACK and was thought of as "little Michael Jackson." I used to dance to Jackson 5's music at my Jr. High School dances. Everyone liked the Jackson 5 back then.
Bizarre behavior and appearances aside, no one can deny the guy's phenominal talent. Such a sad thing to happen at only 50 years old. I know he had so much more in him, too.

ENOUGH already with the deaths, powers that be. Jaysus H. Christ! Too many too fast and
all at once to put one's mind around, I'm telling you. To much sadness!
to all
