You seem to know about this photo and I was just wondering if you could help me locate the spot it was taken in Central Park. I have an eccentric habit of visiting famous photo sights. Along with this and Arbus's "two teenagers" (I know it's not the full name) on Hudson street. Please email me if you can. Hi,

It is extremely well written and and shows a fan wrestling with the contradiction between Michael as a global icon and Michael as just a human being. Ness 28th June 2009, 08:40 PM Okay, thanks for that, I think. Most of it was nice and explained the magic of Michael, but I especially hated the doubt of him being a child molestor. How can you be a fan a believe such a thing is beyond me! Laura 28th June 2009, 08:40 PM I completely agree with this bit: "To hear the immediacy of that voice is to realize that the world has lost something utterly excellent and utterly unique. It is like hearing that some magnificent species, something like a tiger, has just gone extinct." Like, can anybody really imagine world without tigers? You may as well try to picture your body not leaving shadows! Michael Jackson is a mandatory.

I love Matt Taibbi. In addition to being a brilliant analyst of economics, he is hysterically funny. I have his first few books. Naomi Klein went to my university and people are very proud of her success. She was the editor of the school paper when I wrote there! NO LOGO was absolutely brilliant, and she was so young when it came out. I agree, she shares many of Taibbi's good qualities.

I want to be remembered in some small way when you are famous. I think that you actually are already, I will continually think that you are using a some pseudonym and are in fact a noted, brilliant, cerebral &; famous commentator on pop culture. Would you PLEASE reveal yourself as this is starting to make me angry. That being said I caught a show on my local community radio station on Matt Taibbi of him addressing an audience on his recent writing about the financial meltdown. He did an excellent job at breaking it down. I did not realize that as a journalist he spent a lot of time in Russia working odd jobs and writing about the disaster capitalism popularized by your fellow Canadian Naomi Klein. He worked as miner and different odd jobs after Russia was "democratized" and spoke a lot about how many of the old regime party faithful remained in power and how much they still do and all the spin about how democracy and capitalism has worked in the part of the world when the same people still hold all the wealth and the poor still have nothing to eat. Also, I like CNN being out and the BBC being in. I listen to the BBC quite a bit because that is the only way you find out what is happening in the states. Al Jazeera is also a good way to find out what happens in the States (and what the REAL opinion of the middle-east is of westerners). Excellent post...who are you really?

It is very hard not to be jealous of a child with one of so few arts journalism jobs out there. Critics of Tavi would say that she is too young to write with depth: she couldn't possibly have assimilated centuries of the histories of fashion and art. You can't be 15 and have the insights of an Adam Gopnik or Anthony Lane. But then, why shouldn't there be room for another voice? OK. IN: Tavi, fashionista. You are probably right.

Surely the senior fashion writers who say they're ticked off that she's a "novelty" or who imply that she has no fashion judgement are just jealous of the fact that she's such a good writer? "...crumpled pastel dresses that looked as if they’d been stained with tears at Calvin Klein” is pretty smart and funny.

The mother chews gum in front of the Queen and wears blue jeans and horrible black heels to announce the wedding her of her daughter to Prince William. Also, she has the most disgustingly chav family: they are like something out of a Sue Townsend novel. Only a tiny number will be permitted to attend the wedding because they are so hopeless. Whereas the father eats with a knife and fork. No one mentions the father because 1) he dresses and behaves appropriately and 2) he has an intact, middle-class family.
