...Dangerous. And in the blink of a surgically-altered eye, the man was also History. But Michael Jackson is about to take one last shot at proving that he is indeed Invincible...
Mmmmmhmmmm, just what the doctor ordered: lesbian-transsexual folk-rock from the goddess Ani Difranco’s Righteous Babe stables. Except…well. Bitch and Animal come across occasionally as ukelele-brandishing, homosexual takes on Blink-182, with songs about “The Best Cock on the Block,” a moving tribute to the wonders of dildos, and “Sparkly Queen Areola;” the songs are, according to the liner notes, “mainly ramblings on our cereal box of life, the sparkly sparkly pussy.” Only instead...

You know how to tell a story, or seem to tell a story, while skating away from the dirty details, and making it all seem - blink, blink - like a sort of dream. It's a magic trick - Muhammad Ali's old rope-a-dope adapted to the arena of scandal, a way of elegantly dancing off from the punch, while at the same time seeming to absorb the punch, to defy the punch. If we paid...
