...question before the court was why Michael Jackson failed to play two concerts. The question on everyone's mind was, How can he look even freakier than the last time he appeared in public?

Jackson says Avram called them off. For his first day of testimony, Jackson arrived wearing his familiar surgical mask, which he removed when he took the stand, revealing sparse facial stubble and an unexplained bandage...

The tumor, presumably, is the final punishment for her infidelity and desertion, and allows her wronged husband the priceless opportunity to be magnanimous, to forgive and to cherish. Her death gives him poignant pause, but it is never forcefully indicated that it must have been much rougher...
...claim Tom has done the same thing all the time. When the folk world called for a King of the Road, Tom was there. When he thought the mood was shifting and calling for a freakier kind of image, Tom was there too. Now he's up in New Hampshire, presumably having a good chuckle about the whole thing...
