With the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett this past week, we wanted to pay tribute the best way we knew how; with a map. This map shows an index of Google searches for the late celebrities, the higher the number the more searches from that state. Interestingly enough, Searches for Michael Jackson seem to be coming from the most heavily populated states, but Farrah Fawcetts’ fans seem to be located in the southern states.

A somberness fell upon the Earth one day
When an Angel and a King departed us.
Gone
is the unforgettable smile of the Angel,
Gone
is the unrivaled talent of the King.
It has been told in many of song
That only the good die young;
How true that becomes
In circumstances as these
As we say our farewells
To the Angel and the King.
But now as we grasp the absence and the memories
Of these two unforgettable souls,
We should surrender the pain
With knowing they now rest peacefully
In the Heavens where there is hope to unite again.
After all is said and done
And the world still turns,
And the wind still blows,
The clouds, however, forevermore whisper
The memorable melodies of the fallen Angel and King.
all of my family member love Michael Jackson, he is one of the best pop stars in the music industry and i would say he is the one and only king of pop`
