Thousands mourned at the iconic funerals of Princess Diana and Elvis Presley, but many more are expected to attend Michael Jackson's memorial. Elizabeth Palmer reports.
I think it's strange. I'm a fan of both Presley and Jackson, but isn't it the massive fame that led both of them to islolate themselves and lose touch with reality? I'm not letting either Michael or Elvis off the hook for personal responsibility and judgement. However, at some point, as a society, we have to not only take in account what these two did to themselves, but also as a culture what we did to them. The talent of these two should be celebrated, but the two men should not be worshiped.
I think it's about time we start remembering iconic births instead.
