Angels or Demons?
Farrah Fawcett was my favorite angel in Charlie’s Angels
She was every young boy’s darling while growing up in the 70s & 80s
She defied the norms when she posed for Playboy at the ripe age of 50
Her futile battle with the Big C was well- documented and became the staple of America’s penchant for reality shows
No matter how we view the life that she led, it cannot be denied that she was a woman who was not afraid to speak her mind and follow her heart no matter what
She was a woman in her own right.

I liked Michael Jackson
I followed his meteoric rise to the top of the world and his free-fall thereafter
But I did not buy the sexual molestation allegations that were hurled against him by people with hidden agenda that was further fueled by the media into a conflagration that consumed his fragile soul
He was part of my growing up years; I’ve danced to his music, listened to his songs and bought his records
I understood his eccentricities and frailties as a person
I was able to separate the genius from the man.
