The loss of some of my favorite icons through the 80's and 90's has left me saddened. I recently read an article about Patrick Swayze with so many beautiful quotes and words from the people who were his friends and co-actors.
Also, the continuing circus that has ensued since the passing of Michael Jackson. Career tainted by rumors of pedophilia, his children seemed well adjusted though completely heartbroken by the loss of their father. The press and attention seekers with their claims of being their actual biological father seems to me to be more likely to cause them emotional damage than anything that has been a part of their lives thus far. Freedom of speech is a right and a privilege, but when it becomes abusive and destructive to someone else, especially children, it's just not right. I ran across this video clip this morning. Filmed while working on his upcoming tour, it's hard to believe he's gone. He sings Human Nature and it takes me back to my early teens. Has human nature changed so much or did I just grow up?
Michael Jackson Human Nature
I'll be adding to this throughout the day.
