Michael Jackson died 10 years ago today — June 25, 2009. I can tell you where I was when I heard the news. (In a rental car in Los Angeles, on the way to a columnists’ convention in Ventura, California.)
How about you?
I can tell you where I was when I heard the news about the death of Elvis. (Had just gotten into the car after a workday on a road-construction site in Kentucky.)
How about you?
There are “x” number of “Where were you when you heard the news?”-type deaths in one’s lifetime.
Strangely, even though he was one of my all-time favorite singers, I can’t tell you where I was when I heard about Tom Petty’s death.
