It is not so hard to see the effect celebrity has on our lives. I have wondered many times how today's mindless, no-talent, famous-for-being-famous celebs will influence my childrens' lives.
The loss of Michael Jackson has brought back memories of listening to Jackson 5 8-track tapes, roller skating to "ABC", dancing in front of a mirror to "Rock With You", donning one glove and parachute pants and trying to recreate "Thriller" in the living room with my nextdoor neighbor, having a near seizure at the thrill of MJ doing the moonwalk at the Grammy's, wishing as I walked down the sidewalk that it would light up under my feet a la "Billy Jean."
It certainly is a sign of the times when my mourning Michael Jackson - amazing pop star, musical prodigy, legendary dancer, multi-generational entertainer, is quickly eclipsed by My Big Girl, who is mourning the devastating loss of Billy Mays - OxiClean guy.
I run to the TV everytime I hear MJ sing, she runs to the TV everytime she hears a commercial for Orange Glo.
