Random Thoughts: When Celebrities Go…

Thursday caused the world to stop worrying about the Financial Apocalypse and start worrying about the demise of their Celebrity Aristocracy with the deaths of Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and finally Michael Jackson.  I remember seeing Farrah Fawcett on the wall of most boys my age bedroom, and hearing her passing makes me feel a little older.

When celebrities die, does that change the economic climate? Hey anything is possible in this day and age, maybe we will see the Michael Jackson recovery?
