It was a shock to learn of Michael Jackson's death at age 50 from cardiac arrest. He was, and will continue to be through his musical legacy, a huge international mega star, perhaps unequalled in his time. Andrew Sullivan has some thoughts on his career and legacy.
The TV icon Farrah Fawcett's passing earlier in the day was to be expected, after her long struggle with cancer, but was sad nonetheless.
Rest in peace to both of them.
UPDATE: The police are apparently looking for Michael Jackson's personal physician, whose car has been impounded. Maybe there's more to the story of his death. . . .
