I feel bad for people who have never been so touched or felt connected to someone they don't know whether it be through art, music or whatever the medium. The way music makes me feel whether it is happy or sad it is a powerful and awesome thing.
I am a crier (in private, lol) I cried for Aaliyah too and JFK, Jr. I'm sure there are others too..Steve Irwin.
I am a huge fan and will ALWAYS be a huge fan of Michael Jackson. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood people...RIP.
It seems like it's always the ones that led especially troubled lives that manage to touch people the most. Examples such as Anna Nicole Smith, Bruce Lee, Princess Diana, and certainly now Michael Jackson...they led lives of breathtaking highs and terrifying lows that normal poeple could not begin imagine...until finally meeting tragic ends.
All your pics are good examples, except Anna Nicole Smith. I am wondering why you think that her death touched so many. And why you would ever put that gold digging ***** in the same category as MJ, Bruce Lee, and Princess Diana.
Anna Nicole was a train wreck from the start. Certainly no one I would ever shed a tear for. Or one who meant so much to me in my life. Im still confused as how you thought that she had touched so many peoples lives like the others did. She was a joke. A punch line at best.

Whatever she was to everyone, her death was still tragic.. she lost her son after giving birth to a baby girl, and couldn't recover. I was not a fan of Anna but went through something similar as her at the same time. What Larry did to her with needing to prove the baby was his was the lowest of lows. He had all the time in the world; surely he could let her mourn her son's death. He's a piece of garbage in my eyes, has been after getting custody until he got the little girl out of the public eye and stopped making money off of her.
I look at it this way. We all live for a while and we all die eventually. The only ones I feel sad for are the ones who did not get to live life in a good way. Kids that die, people that struggled through life to help others and never had it good, and people like that. It's impossible for me to be sad over someone who had a life that was 10,000 better than anyone I've ever known.
I don't think it makes you a cold person. As someone else wrote, some people just don't connect emotionally to people they don't know.
I cried when a fellow poster, whom I'd never met but interacted with on the message board for almost two years was killed by a drunk driver after leaving an Orioles game at Camden Yards. I remember going to his viewing and meeting his wife and two teenage sons and thinking what a sad and terrible circumstance I am seeing this person whom I had come to know pretty well yet had never met and seeing him lay in his casket.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I used to work in Camden Yards. That is very close to home. I also have some very good friends that I've met on message boards and have talked to for years. And I'd grief-stricken if I lost them too.
Yes...I definitely shed a tear when Harry Kalas died.
