And I’m still watching, too. Despite my protests, I have to say it’s mesmerizing. Not just the life of Michael Jackson, not just the questions surrounding his death, not just the outpouring of admiration for his talent. Mostly I keep thinking about the children—his children, and all children. In some of his important relationships—like Elizabeth Taylor […]
a million to one
