Random Thoughts: When Celebrities Go…

Celebrity deaths cause the world to stop worrying about the Financial Apocalypse and start worrying about the demise of their Celebrity Aristocracy with the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and finally Michael Jackson.  I remember seeing Farrah Fawcett on the wall of most boys my age bedroom, and hearing her passing makes me feel a little older.

The death of celebrities certainly impacts the economy. And let’s face it, the idea of Michael Jackson making a recovery is highly unlikely.
