Gen Y will be the last generation to truly appreciate 20th century icons. So many people my age were shocked and saddened to see Mike go and Farrah speaks for herself. Her cancer struggle will always be remembered and that poster will go on for ages. Gen Y too realizes the importance of these icons. Scary to think Gen Z and beyond won't understand Jackson as anything more than a guy who's skin color changed and won't recognize Farrah's poster. As a gen Yer, it is sad to see both pass away.

I never thought of the Gen X connection, but it is true. Both Farrah and Michael were a huge part of our childhoods. It's so sad that they both died so young and on the same day.

I love your keen observation on losing childhood and being passe - cold. But, it does have some merit. I think what Anthony should have said is that Boomers need to realize we've grown up and yes, there are htose things that belong to our youth that are in museums now.
