    R.I.P. - A moment of silence for those who passed today.

    Farrah will be (sorely...) missed.





    What a beauty. She's the reason I fell in love with Fawn Hall during the Iran-Contra hearings.

    And that young Skywalker is why you fail.

    My first concert: Scorpions. Hence, I win the concert war.

    Farrah: I think she was the first pin-up girl poster I had on my wall.

    MJ: Huge talent. Huge freak.

    Note: My first concert was The Kinks, and yes, I am old. (though not as old as Rocks whose first concert was Benny Goodman.)

    Farrah "was" hot....no doubt.

    Michael was a brilliant child star that ended up surrounded with people his whole life that apparently would never tell him..." No Mike......its wrong to want to be a white woman" if you have ever seen the Katt Williams bit about Michael he lays it out pretty straight.

    I remember watching the Jackson 5 cartoons on saturday mornings.....they had a evening TV show for a while as well....

    Sad the way some folks have it all and then everything just goes sideways and they turn into tabloid fodder.

    My first concert was AC/DC Sept '80. Freshman year of high school. I was at the Aug 26th 1990 Stevie Ray Vaughn/Eric Clapton, (Robert Cray was there also) concert at Alpine valley the night Stevie's helicopter crashed into the ski hill and he was killed.

    I think I qualify as older, but not old.

    What he is not talking about is that his second concert was the "Bay City Rollers"

    I don't remember ever having much of an opinion about Farrah Fawcett - I am too young and the wrong gender. I was a bit young for Michael Jackson in his "Thriller" days, but totally remember "Bad" being released. I watched Ed Mcmahon host "Star Search" every week - I loved that show!

    My first concert ever was Garth Brooks in like 1991ish (I know, I know). My junior year of high school I went to my first actual rock concert - it was Rush, and it was awesome. Best concert ever? Easy - U2 at the Superdome in 1997, 11th row.

    My first concert was Neil Diamond in the early 80s. I lose.

    And Mydrial, I'm jealous; SRV is one of my favorites, but I never got a chance to see him. I've seen Robert Cray roughly ten times, though.

    Farrah was definitely hot, but her prime was before my puberty so... I think my first TV girl was Winnie, Danica McKellar, from The Wonder Years.

    Long live The King. Putting all the artist /tabloid / legal stuff aside - his art was excellent and inspired a whole lot of artists.

    My first concert was No Doubt (before I knew'em) opening for Goo Goo Dolls opening for Bush at the Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA - Winter of '94. Since then I estimate I've seen >150 bands live. Yet - Never saw Garth Brooks and would still like to.. next up - Matisyahu & Umphrey's McGee @ Electric Factory, Philly 7/8/09.
