...concert preparation that you wished you had filmed? I don't know if you want it on film, but it's something I'll run through my head for the rest of my life. I was in his dressing room one night going over some artwork, and Michael was behind me saying my name, at first very softly: "Kenny, Kenny." I said, "What are you doing?" He said, "I'm saying your name. Am I saying it right?" Michael was from Indiana, and the way he said my name wasn't quite like anyone else. I guess the reason...
...however, and that's possibly because throat singing - in which the vocalist manipulates not just the throat but the diaphragm and mouth to produce astonishing tones, drones and buzzes - is something of a commercial gamble outside the Tuvan, Siberian and Mongolian worlds.

...political feuding goes back more than a decade. In 1995, Sarkozy betrayed longtime mentor Jacques Chirac by throwing his support behind a rival conservative candidate in the presidential election. Chirac won, named Villepin, his former campaign director, as his Elysée chief of staff and banished Sarkozy to a humiliating political exile. Sarkozy's punishment finally ended in 2002 when Chirac, eager to exploit the younger man's well-known hard-line attitude on law and order, tapped him as Interior Minister.
