Survival Soundtrack 6: Kiss-Off

Five years ago this is what I had to say:

"There is empty space between us in the shape of a boy who used to live and laugh with us and we don't know how to live with it so we live
around it."

Sometimes, survival is about the ones who are no longer with us, but whose memories are our best motivators. Todays survival pick is dedicated to the person whose memory constantly motivates me. This is the song we would always sing together, and it captured every nuance between betrayal and letting go.

See you at the Crossroads

OMGZ! No way did MJ and Farrah die on the same hot summer day. I was going to eat ice cream on a park bench and people watch until class time, but now... now I have to self-medicate.

Farrah Fawcett, perma-golden child, who I always thought looked strained and sad in her ubiquitous pin-up poster.



And MJ. King of the Lost Boys. Never had a childhood until he made his Neverland Ranch. But before that, he taught a whole generation how to dance, had a killer voice, and seemed so lost.



A super-talented, super-prolific friend has been writing a song a day, and wrote a great one of MJ.


It's a sad day.
