...death and the circus that followed it, Ortega focuses on the re-creation of about a dozen Jackson standards for the concert. ("Beat It," "Billie Jean," "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," "Black and White" and "I'll Be There" are all here.) At times several takes of a song are edited into one performance; you know because Jackson is sporting different rehearsal clothes. The footage was shot so the star could study his work and that of his crew, thus it has the artlessness of visual stenography. The art is in what we're privileged to watch: a perfectionist who quietly...
...with Rita Hayworth, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. "They Don't Care About Us" sends 1,100 CGI soldiers marching down a kind of Champs-Elysées whose Arc de Triomphe is bent into an M for Michael. "Thriller" was to boast 3-D effects. And "Earth Song," the rain-forest-message number, has a dewy child (a girl, if you're wondering) facing down a bulldozer, which was then to motor toward the front of the stage, ready to devour the star. "Save Michael," he seemed to be saying, and save the planet. (See TIME's video...
...this new form of radio could just as well be an iPod—the only difference being that it’s not your particular iPod and therefore provides some variety. But listeners don’t just tune in to the radio for a new song or two.

...didn't have the vaccine and could not say when they would receive their supply. Private hospitals and clinics I called directed me back to my doctors and so the fruitless search continued. A few hours' wait in 90°F heat seemed like a sacrifice worth making. Bryan Song and his wife Alice had been in line since 6:30 a.m. with their 13-month-old son Payton. "He's in day care and there have already been three cases of H1N1 reported there. We're here more for him," said Alice...
...whether it's working a con. The Kings' story is true, but with their curious facial hair, dolorous gazes and tattered designer clothes, the Followills look like Confederate soldiers under the command of General Calvin Klein. This would suggest a con. At the same time, they're capable of songs that really do make them sound like savants. The best of these is "Taper Jean Girl," from 2005's Aha Shake Heartbreak. Caleb is mostly mumbling Dixie, but with a live-wire sexuality and unpredictability that recalls the young Mick Jagger. Meanwhile, there are a muscular bass, ferocious drums...
