passing of time

When a famous person dies, especially so suddenly and at quite a young age, it really makes u conscious of getting old. Michael Jackson is our contemporary, and to hear he had died must make a lot of people feel suddenly old.
Earlier i heard that farah fawcett major had died, but somehow I always think she is another generation(even though she is only 62.) To many young people michael jackson is still comparatively young... He had always been obsessive about his health, and he is so slim. You dont expect slim people to die of heart attacks. Yet he died of a heart attack at 50. I daresay the physical demands of preparing for that concert of his is a big factor in this heart attack.
I have long ago viewed death with equanimity so I see his death as only michael jackson's soul wanting out.
