Freddie Mercury. Yes, I know he was gay but that doesn't bother me. I love him during this time period (pre-moustache) during the 1970s. His death in 1991 was the first 'celebrity' death that affected me, the kind that "where were you when..." moment. I was, and still is, a big Queen fan as a child.
I was such a She Ra: Princess of Power fan when I was a child while the cartoon was out, I used to imitate her and would call out "In the honor of Grayskull!!!" Now I proudly own the DVDs. Some things in your childhood that you used to love never goes away and carries itself in a special place in the heart.
February 11th would have been Ringo and Maureen's 45th wedding anniversary. However they divorced in 1975 after ten years of marriage and three kids; Maureen died in 1994. I really think they were such a cute couple and I respect them alot for remaining friends after their divorce, continuing parent duties, and Ringo being at Maureen's bedside when she died. I have never heard about an ex-husband staying vigil at his ex-wife's bedside, I'm sure it does happen but it's rarely talked about.
I didn't watch the Superbowl, I only wanted to watch the Halftime show with the Who. Zak Starkey banging away on the drums! I wonder if Ringo Starr watched?
I was looking over these photos and I realized something, when Jasper Jax was with Skye Chandler Quatermaine that was the last time I really liked him. Now Jax has been on my crap list on General Hospital for quite sometime now. It stinks when a character that you really used to like become such a sorehead. I think it's only because when Jax was with Skye, he wasn't obsessed over Sonny like he normally is, especially when involved with Sonny's ex lovers/wives. With Skye, she was neither of those things although she used Sonny to get Jax's attention. It was a happy day when they got married but once when Jax realized that Brenda was alive, it just went downhill from there. I never felt the same way again with Jax; as for Skye, well, I did enjoy her scenes with Luke Spencer! So it didn't exactly crash and burn.
