Michael, McMahon, Farrah and You
by Chuck Norris
The entertainment world lost a few giants last week, and like the rest of the world, my wife, Gena, and I offer their families, friends and fans our most heartfelt condolences.
America's most infamous late-night sidekick, Ed McMahon, favorite "angel," Farrah Fawcett, and the "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, made their final exits, and even in death, they were as big as they were in life. The magnitude of their presence, power in their presentation and the caliber of ...

Your article shows a great deal of generosity of spirit, Chuck. However, the excesses of the pop/rock scene should not be forgotten and should serve as a warning to the youngsters you are trying to reach via Kickstart. The BBC here reported in 1998 that Michael Jackson paid between $5 and $20 million (another estimate says $22 million) to settle out of court with the family of then 13-year-old Jody Chandler, Jackson being then 40 years old. Why, if Jackson really had nothing to hide? Whatever the answer, strife and contention seem more to describe the entertainment industry than godliness. However, Michael Jackson's death puts me in mind of the circumstances in which another pop/rock icon passed away suddenly, none other than Elvis. When Elvis died in the early hours of August 16th, 1977, his body was found face down in his bathroom, having fallen forward onto the knees, from off the privy on which he had been sitting. In so doing, Elvis actually fulfilled scripture. “As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me” Romans 14:11. That is a timely warning for all.
