Oh my gosh!!!
You know, I went poster shopping yesterday at a campus sale, and they had all these posters of Michael Jackson that gave his birth and death dates. His death looks like it will be up there with the deaths of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, and James Dean in terms of pop culture perpetuating its tragedy and keeping it the minds of the public.
Heck, even the Eagles did a song about the death of James Dean!
