Two icons gone
My generation has been defined by some iconic figures. Kind of seems staggering that two go on the same day.
When I was a kid, every girl wanted the Farrah cut and every boy had this poster.
And in high school, Thriller was one of the soundtracks to our lives.
It was so universal that years later, it still makes appearances, from a popular film:
To a prison yard in the Philippines:
While Michael was undoubtedly tortured by demons worse than any conceived of for that iconic video, it can never be doubted that he's left an unparalleled musical legacy. That's what I'll choose to remember.
