That aside, I do not think that ANY entertainer should make the list. Their contribution to society is simply not as crucial as some of the other events that have been mentioned.

I think most people couldn't guess the month MJ died, let alone the day. He was a very popular entertainer, but that's it. His death just happened and wasn't even unexpected given his health issues. It isn't even in the top 100 (or 1,000) signature moments.

Those of us who are a little older all can remember having bomb drills in school, remember someone always coming up with some reason why our town would be the first to be nuked if the US and USSR were to go to war (Because of some plant, military institution, etc.), and the general notion that it was just a matter of time before WWIII would begin and someone would drop a nuclear bomb and end the world.
