Recently a lot of celebrities have passed on. Well we may never have known them personally they were entertainers we grew up with and layed the soundtrack to are lives. Ed McMahon is gone. Dom DeLuise is pasted away. Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. I have to say that of all of them who are no longer with us I miss Dom DeLuise the most. He voiced many popular cartoons as well as numerous comedies.

Well, honestly I could care less about the ones that have recently died. I miss Chris Farley though, the guy was so funny. He made a lot of people laugh, and I don't think anyone can replace him.

I found Bernie Mac a pretty funny guy, back when he was around to make movies. He died last year - he will be very sorely missed.

Oooh, I dunno...

I'd probably have to say Michael Jackson. Despite what he did and how much he's changed over the past couple decades, he's still one of the most influential musicians of our time. There probably isn't a single person in the U.S. that can say they haven't heard a M.J. song or at least heard about him--period.

He was and will forever be the "King of Pop" and was like the Elvis of our time. It's weird thinking about what life is gonna be like over the next few years without hearing about him or having new music from him every now and again. I've spent my entire life hearing Michael Jackson's (and the Jackson 5's) music! I've seen every single one of his music videos, had the 'Moonwalker' movie and video game (it was so cheesy it was cool)! I still remember being in elementary school and being envious of the kids who had the fabled jackets from 'Thriller' and 'Beat It'.

My son likes M.J., but he's never gonna know how much influence he's had in he world except by word of mouth--kinda like how I love The Beatles and only know of their greatness from books and documentaries. I dunno, I guess I'm just being very nostalgic, or sentimental but, I personally think that Michael Jackson's death was a signifigant loss to the music community.

I really do not care for celebrities, I respect their talent but thats the exstent of it. If they die well that is sad and all because some one's life has passed on, how ever, I am not going to get involved in the hail storm of greaf for some one because they happened to make good songs/movies/sports/what ever.

I am mourning Micheal most of all at this point.

But its not really so much him that I am mourning... it is the light he had, And how it shinned. His influence, weather or not you believe he was a pervert. His positive influence on the music world is un-matched. When that light went out, of course I mourned and prolly will for a while.
Celebrities, are people who we (don't really) know by there fame, and not personally. So I dunno if this is considered a genuine mourning of a loss of a person. And being that Micheal Jackson was nothing short of a legend... his legacy will continue. So I cant really morn the loss of his influence (its not going anywhere). Its just sad to know that that light will never shine again.

I was in K-mart yesterday, and found that I really missed the Oxy Clean guy.
