(Somewhat) In memoriam: the King of Pop, the prince of Late Night, America’s sex symbol, and oh yeah, 156 Chinese protesters
Over the past week, death seemingly wormed its way into every major headline. First it was Ed McMahon, legendary side-kick to the more legendary Johnny Carson. Sexy pin-up Farrah Fawcett followed suit with MJ moonwalking to his grave just hours later. The Grim Reaper then added Billy “Who?” Mays, Steve McNair, and Robert McNamara to his already sizable collection.
In fact, major news networks struggled to keep up with the slew of celebrity deaths as various planned tribute broadcasts switched from McMahon to Fawcett to the grandiose spectacle that was the Michael Jackson memorial.
R.I.P. David Carradine
[Kung Fu star Carradine found dead]
I just heard that David Carradine was found dead in Thailand in the middle of filming a new movie. Some reports say he committed suicide.
I’ll admit I have yet to see the Kill Bill movies (yes, I’m behind the times sometimes, I know) but I knew Carradine best from “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.” It was probably the first “grown-up” show I watched when I was a kid. My dad was into it, so I was too.
God Bless him and his family.
