...blowing interview with 60 Minutes never aired on account of its incendiary content. Now the actor has got the Australian version of the news program in trouble by lighting up during an interview that did air--twice. Crowe chain-smoked on the show and at one point brandished a pack of Marlboros. The following week, during its "Mailbag" segment, 60 Minutes showed portions of the footage again after viewers wrote in to complain about Crowe's habit. In Australia it is illegal to advertise tobacco on television, and last week a judge ruled that whereas the first broadcast was acceptable...

And by focusing on shoe-leather journalists, the six episodes sent to critics ignore the real mainstays of today's cable news: the daily aneurysms of O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, James Carville and the rest of the yak pack.

That reputation rests squarely on the astonishing trajectory and restless invention of a dozen albums that blasted off in 1969 with Space Oddity and fell to earth after 1980's Scary Monsters. His every release since then has struggled to escape the G-force of his fans' expectations, be it the wilful dissonance of Tin Machine or the ill-fitting Techno clothes he donned for Earthling...
