June 26, 200916 yr I think it was more to do with the fact that "MJ" was a global phenomenon, the lovely miss Fawcett wasn't. That doesn't make it right of course, but that's the world we live in.

June 28, 200916 yr one of the funniest comments I found on Bill Simmons's nba draft diary: One last thought: It felt strange to write a Draft Diary one hour after a momentous celebrity death. I have Jackson's passing ranked as the fourth-biggest celeb death of my lifetime, right behind Elvis, Lennon and Princess Di and just ahead of JFK Jr. and Matt LeBlanc's career. Just an eerie way to start an event that's supposed to be fun. My buddy Gus said it best via e-mail: "Thriller is the only album I ever owned where I remember where I was and my reaction to hearing it for the first time. Your basement." Of course, I e-mailed him back by joking, "That's the first time Michael Jackson has landed in a positive story about two teenage boys and a basement in about 20 years." But Gus was right. Before he went off the deep end, Jackson was definitely one of those rare, "I specifically remember moments of my life that he was involved in" celebrities. I'm going to miss him. I wish the 2009 NBA draft had happened on another night. Alas. RIP MJ
