Late pop icons all had their own victory tour
Sunday, June 28, 2009
It was a bad week for baby boomers, as we lost three pop culture icons in four days. (Why do these things seem to happen in threes?)
Michael, we barely knew ye

But that doesn't mean you didn't give us some great musical memories. Here are a few of my favorites. What are yours?
Farewell, Farrah.

70s superstar Farrah Fawcett succumbed to cancer today at age 62. She leaves behind a legacy that's a lot more than an iconic hairstyle.
She's ba-a-a-ck!!!

This hilarious faux "trailer" takes one of my favorite films from childhood and turns it into a horror movie. Chim-chim- chiree, people! Enjoy "Scary Mary."
Goodnight, Ed.

I am saddened to learn that Ed McMahon died last night. He seemed like a genuinely nice, classy man who was always content to let the spotlight shine brighter on someone else. What I didn't know, until this Today show piece this morning, was that he dabbled in acting. And he wasn't too bad, either!
Three (Young) Tenors

This just in from a friend. Two 14-year-olds and a 15 -year-old. Makes me almost forget my Susan Boyle goosebumps....
Reunion rules play out like kindergarten

Remember that old Robert Fulghum essay and best-selling book, “All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten?” I experienced a refresher course, of sorts, at my elementary school reunion last weekend.
Ad astra per aspera

Maybe astrology devotee Nancy Reagan had the right idea. Why not turn to the stars in difficult times? The great thing about Astrology on the Web is there are so many different horoscopes online, you can cherry-pick until you find a daily forecast you can live with!
Big fun for film fans!

Remember those old "Hidden Pictures" pages in Highlights magazine? That's what "Cryptic Canvas" reminds me of, but with a cinematic bent. Be warned, it can be addictive!
Break a leg, Susan!

In less than 24 hours, Susan Boyle will compete for the last time in the finals of "Britain's Got Talent." I might be more nervous than she is.
Yeah, but they've had 62 years to practice

Sometimes, YouTube just gives you a jewel. Meet Fran and Marlo Cowan. I think I'll smile for the rest of the day now....
