In the last three days, we've lost three dear souls: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
If you were born in the 1950's or 1960's, you pretty much grew up with these people.
 Everyone over 35 remembers Ed McMahon's "Heeeeere's Johnny", and the next generation remembers him from Star Search and the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.
 All of us guys that were in high school or college in the 1970's remember Farrah Fawcett, even if you didn't watch "Charlie's Angels", you couldn't go through any department store or dormitory without seeing her beaming smile from the famous poster we all know.
 And who can forget Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five? Back when they were on television, it seemed to me we didn't have racial problems, seems like America was color blind then. They were just as normal and wholesome as apple pie, everyone's teenage pop/rock band. Maybe I was naive, but weren't we all?
Now they're gone. I almost can't believe it.
