Comment on a study in contrasts by William F. DeVault

Mom, very much so…Michael was actually younger than me, but so many people die younger than me…for instance, Neda, the 16 year old Iranian girl whose truly tragic death, having not grown to adulthood, had children or made millions of dollars, has perhaps vanished off our cultural radar. I always loved Michael’s work, and felt great sympathy for for boy trapped in a man’s body. Farrah? Besides her remarkable beauty and artistic sensibilities, I always felt she suffered from the pretty girl’s curse where people actually tried to keep her from succeeding, as they didn’t want her to be too perfect.

They are all losses, as well as the servicemen and women dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, the thousands dying in alcohol related traffic deaths each year on the US, alone, the millions starving children who pass each year and the victims of genocide around the world…

I’d just like some perspective by the media.

And I would like to recommend the website http://www.realclearworld.com for those looking for a more open perspective on what is really going on in places other than Los Angeles.

Well said.

Also, LinkTV (it’s on DirecTV, but check it out online otherwise) is a great source for what’s happening in the world (and from “the world’s” perspective, no less.

There is always BBC for some balanced (sans sensationalism) news coverage…

There was definitely a difference in the types of coverage that each person was afforded. The reason?

Each of them lived their lives in a completely different way. Michael was always a bit eccentric, a bit over the top, always “out there” for the crowds. Farrah was famous, but not really putting herself out for public display in the same way that Michael did.

I think there is also the sense that most of us grew up with Michael. We were along for the ride, and his death strikes us with the reality of our own mortal selves. After all, if Michael Jackson can die so suddenly and so unexpectedly - then none of us are safe from such a fate.

First, who redid your blog. It looks great!
Second, Six Feet, a quality show.
Third, I haven’t written any romantic poetry in ages and so when I finished this one, I thought of you. (To your female admires, I did not think of him because I write him love poems.) I thought of you because you’ve done some excellent branding as the “romantic poet of the Internet.” Here’s a link to the poem.
Fourth, did I miss the guerilla poetry thing?
