...began the tribute from millions. Mourning is usually a song of celebration in a minor key, but the memorial services, at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and around the world, took on the tone of a jubilant revival meeting. MTV remembered that it used to be a music network and became MJTV for a few days. And Jackson's CDs, which sold torpidly in the past few years, were again best sellers...

King will be around again, despite announcing that his last appearance, in 2006, was to have been his last...
...once again ranges across all moods and styles. Jazz master Herbie Hancock will play with Chinese classical piano sensation Lang Lang; studio legends Steely Dan are on a double bill with a quintessential live act, the Dave Matthews Band; and New York City bassist Bill Laswell, purveyor of "collision music," is bringing along Japanese turntablist DJ Krush. "Who knows what will happen?" asks Nobs. "Everyone has total carte blanche...
