Yorke does have some undeniably morbid tendencies. The first song he ever wrote, at age 11, was called Mushroom Cloud, and much of his Radiohead songbook chronicles the destruction of abstractly good things by abstractly bad things.

On Thursday Fox will air a new prime-time special that will include Jackson's own footage of the fateful interviews with British journalist MARTIN BASHIR. (Bashir reportedly praises Jackson's parenting skills: "Your relationship with your kids is spectacular.") Meanwhile, on Monday night ABC will rerun the show that started it all, and NBC will show a special two-hour all-Jackson Dateline. Only CBS will stick to the relative moral high ground with such wholesome fare as 48 Hours Investigates, which will...
