Shocked and stunned. very stunned.

What is it with continuing bizarro troika of major celebrity deaths?
-
Again, always, in 3's.
This week brought the demise of Ed McMahon, and then on the same day, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
-
With the Jackson thing being the most shocking, or was it?
-
Snowballing reports allege that MJ was heavy on the painkilling narcotic meds such as Dilaudid, Demerol, or stronger, and that obviously, a miscalculation or too high a residual dose could prove fatal, even to a healthy heart.
-
In any event the King of Pop is dead, long live the King.
(When you as a child have 4 number one singles in one year, and sell 100 million copies of one LP, then you can call yerself just about anything you want.)
-
Still, other media outlets were less than kind at the out-of-left-field news.
-
Within hours of confirmation of MJ's death, The Smoking Gun website reprised some grand jury testimony from a young man who accused Jackson of molestation. Not even in death, etc.
-
And some fans of the Beatles are less than shocked, and stunned, what with their noses still outta joint from 1985, when MJ bought up publishing rights to 259 Lennon/McCartney tunes for a measly 47 mill, whilst Macca and Mz. Ono failed to get on the same page.
-
Regardless, an immense talent, no matter how weird and even distasteful is gone at 50, and that, is the real story.
