Tonight Friday, June 24: To mourn the passing of the King of Pop, you can try to snag tickets to Who’s Bad the “World’s No. 1 Michael Jackson cover band” at the 9:30 Club tonight (a concert that was coincidentally scheduled prior to his death). Unfortunately, no Charlie’s Angles marathon was randomly scheduled for this weekend, so if you want to mourn Farrah Fawcett’s passing — lest we forget that TWO celebrities died yesterday, just like when Princess Di and Mother Teresa died on the same day — you can transport yourself back to the ’80s and head to Rosslyn for a screening of Footloose at the “I love the ’80s” Film Festival.
