Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett — The Gen X Perspective

June 26, 2009 at 10:13 am Leave a comment

My former Daily Collegian colleague Ted Anthony ’95 Lib, who now covers American culture for The Associated Press, puts the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in perspective with this piece. The Generation X perspective, that is.

As someone who spent parts of my formative years playing with my Charlie’s Angels dolls (complete with a snazzy crime-fighting van) or circling the rink at Spinning Wheels as Billie Jean blared, I think he got it exactly right.
