Frequency Rotation: Jermaine Jackson, ÒEscape From The Planet Of The Ant
MenÓ

Each week, Frequency Rotation probes a different song with a
speculative-fiction theme. Genre, musical quality, and overall
seriousness may vary.

ÒRemember Michael Jackson,Ó the headlines have been screaming over the
past couple weeks. The anniversary of the pop iconÕs death is upon us,
and fan and hater alike had better get used to the exhaustive media
tributes (and fresh rounds of reissues, lawsuits, and Jackson family
drama) that will be popping up every summer from now until the end of
existence.

Personally, I donÕt mind. I love spectacle, and I love Michael
JacksonÑand the two, after all, go hand in hand. His video for ÒThrillerÓ
fricasseed my tender brain when I was a kid, and his revamping of trashy
genre tropes was uncannily in sync with my own warped development at the
time. Michael, though, isnÕt the only Jackson with geek cred: Behold the
secret science-fiction life of Jermaine Jackson.
