#GoneTooSoon

This is yet another story of the media treating a woman poorly simply bc she existed in the public eye.
I was 16 when JFK, Jr., Carolyn and Lauren died. I didn‘t realize at the time how awful the media was to her. The stories they fabricated. The personae they tried to construct for her. I just remember (obviously) crushing on him, and deeply admiring Carolyn‘s style and grace. Thinking she was so gorgeous and that HE was lucky to have found her…

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Stacked! I remember when this happened 💔💔 6mo
dabbe Agree 💯. I adored her and him. #gonetoosoon 🖤 6mo
Suet624 I had to pull over on the interstate when I heard on the radio that they had died. I experienced the death of his father and his uncle and I was so sad for his mom and sister in particular. 6mo

Wham! George & Me | Andrew Ridgeley

Pickpick

I didn‘t anticipate reading a second book for this month‘s #TitlesAndTunes, but I was casting about for an audiobook, and I enjoyed Andrew‘s telling of their childhood friendship and time in Wham. Written after George‘s death, I thought Andrew was quite generous in how he wanted people to see and remember his friend.

I had to pick this song, though, just for the video. Supermodels, exploding jukebox, the jacket on fire! So rock and roll!

Megabooks And I‘m not usually a lyrics person, but I love a lot of George‘s lyrics, including Freedom 90‘s. 1y
Soubhiville I love this video. Everything about it is sexy. 1y
Megabooks @Soubhiville right?!? I mean Cindy Crawford in a bathtub! 1y

If this isn't on your local schools' or colleges' reading list, SPEAK UP! This is the story of Baltimore, the story of Cleveland, the story of Ferguson and the reality for many of our communities. Well-written with characters for everyone to identify with in the story of how Khalil's death impacts all in the community. #truth #youth #interraciallove #staywoke #growingup #gonetoosoon

@JoeStalksBeck I got the hot chocolate in my Eeyore mug and was ready to settle down with my book. Then my hubby put Furious 7 on. I'm a total sucker for not only the Fast & Furious movies but anything Paul Walker was in. So much for reading. #paul #gonetoosoon
