Michael Jackson has Passed

And it's honestly a shame. I'm too young to have grown up with a Michael Jackson who wasn't surrounded by controversy, but I pick up a lot of information through the blog scene and Vh1 and I realize that he was one of the most talented and successful artists who ever took the spotlight. I hope he lives in peoples' memories as someone who changed the face of music. He passed away in Los Angeles from cardiac arrest at the unfairly young age of 50. It's a shock, and it's awful.

People who also passed in the past few days were Ed McMahon and Farrah Fawcett. McMahon, 86, died because of health complications related to bone cancer and pneumonia; Fawcett, 62, passed after a lengthy battle with cancer. Rest in peace, legends.
