    Mim Udovitch&#;s Real Life Rock

    History (Sony). Strange as Jackson is, the booklet accompanying this double CD is stranger still. Nestled among the testimonials from Elizabeth Taylor (&#;Michael is highly intelligent, shrewd, intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and generous to almost a fault of himself&#;), Steven Spielberg (&#;Michael has a heightened sensitivity for the crying needs of this world&#;), and Dominic Ciscio, age seven (&#;Dear President Clinton, Please make guns be against the law. Make there be no pollution. Make countres stop fighting. Make there be lower taxas. Stop the reporters from bothering Michael Jackson&#;), are some of the most alarming depictions of children this side of Henry Darger. One, &#;Little Susie,&#; shows a five- or six-year-old girl, or possibly the corpse of one, with glowing gauze bandage at her wrists and around her eyes and chin.

    Not Unenjoyable

    Really? I don’t feel the least bit bad taking shots at Thomson, not only because I have no warm personal relationship to this book and not only because I genuinely think he is wrong (wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!), but because he seems like a critic impervious to criticism. All right, I do feel a little bad, as indicated by leading my first post with whatever nice I had to say about his book. Nevertheless, I don’t think it’s necessarily true that if he edited himself more thoroughly it would take him a lifetime to finish one edition of it. He could, for one thing, let someone else edit him more thoroughly.

    I suppose to a certain degree the viability of this option would depend on whether or not he were indeed an astonishing asshole. Writing can take a lifetime. Thomson’s writing does not give the impression of being greatly labored over, but who knows what his first passes at these entries looked like, assuming that those published are not they.
